I met JL for a man lunch with some jolly ole fellows (one of which looks like a hot italian sausage with block feet).

Right of the Exit 10 off of I-95 is Darien’s best kept secret for Burger’s and fries, Jake’s Place.

The owner is very friendly and a town favorite and from what I hear, an avid Yankees fan.

The Cheeseburger today was topped with American Cheese, 3 Alarm pepepprs (also seen on the 3 Alarm Cheesesteak which is another PHENOMENAL item on the menu.  Don’t be scared!) and a sesame seed bun lightly toasted.

The above photo should not be confused with the “Jakes Burger”.  Which is a burger, inside a grilled cheese, with coleslaw and russian dressing.  In other words, a cheeseburger I could settle down and watch romantic comedies with.

This burger is a SOLID chargrilled staple and worth a pit-stop off of I-95 when passing through the TRI-State area or roaming around town on a Saturday afternoon.’
