So I woke up on Sunday morning and decided to get my leaf peep on.  Loaded up the car with the GF and the dog and headed for the woods.  By woods, I mean a cul de sac in Simsbury CT that happens to also have a hiking trail attached to it.  After a few hours of soaking up some of the best scenery that central CT has to offer, folks were getting hungry.  All morning I was planning on eating a burger and taking pictures of it.  Plenty of options existed, but I could only think of one that could top the AnusBurger picture.  Although, they have pizza in their name, Joe’s Pizza in Canton, CT makes a damn fine cheeseburger.  8.50 for a 1/2 pounder is always a decent value, however, I was a little irked by the “add $1.50 for fries” clause that the menu had, but figured screw it, this is for the BurgerBoy . Plus, I was really hungry.  For toppings, I decided to keep it pretty simple.  Went with grilled peppers and onions.  I’ve ruined enough burgers at 5guys due to too many toppings, that I have finally learned that just because they offer it, doesn’t mean you have to order it.  Joe’s Pizza has a large selection of toppings (think 5Guys but a little more gourmet) and about 7 beers on tap, including Long Trail Double Bag and Stone Mill Pale Ale (marketed as a super-heady organic brew that is actually made by Anheuser Busch).  Next time you venture to the Farmington Valley for some antiquing, check Joe’s out.  Also, if any of your friends or aquaintances are vegetarians, Joe’s supposedly makes a good veggie pizza.  I’ve never had it, because veggie pizzas are for idiots, but they have it if you need it. As the pictures can attest, I thoroughly dominated the burger while being mocked by the lady friend for taking pictures of my food. “Sorry babe, this one’s for the internet”.
