A gluten-free menu near the door of the DeZavala Rd (San Antonio) EZ’s warns that although the potato and sweet potato fries are in themselves gluten-free, the fries at EZ’s share a fryer with the fried breaded foods. The only drawback to having a burger at EZ’s (a drawback one can live with, to have such a delectably satisfying cheeseburger fix) is that the fries are eat-at-your-own risk. Somehow (perhaps not surprisingly, given EZ’s over-all theme of the nostalgic), EZ’s has captured that delightful, old fashioned drive-in, grill-fried burger flavor. Those burgers had a bit of grill fried flavor to them that I haven’t tasted for years. The onions were always chopped up into little squares. “Everything” included pickles, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and onion. I always ordered a cheese burger with everything. The root beer arrived in frosty glass mugs, sometimes with thin sheets of ice that would slide down the glass as it warmed on the tray that sat on the open car window. We would always order the hallmark A & W root beer to drink with our meals. The flavor takes me back to the days when my parents would take my sisters and me to the A & W drive-in restaurant for dinner. Load up that gluten-free baby with ketchup, Sweetie it can hold up to the goopy burger challenge! Moreover, it has a tiny, nice touch of old fashioned grill fried greasy flavor, but without being greasy. It comes with mustard I add the ketchup at the table.
My favorite EZ’s burger is the classic bacon cheddar burger, with everything. One can order any of the burgers on the EZs menu, with all the toppings, and the bun will hold the entire thing together from start to finish. A regular size hamburger patty fits on the bun. It has the flavor and texture of a bun made with wheat flour. It’s a nice height: not flat, as are many gluten-free breads and buns. The bun is nearly the same size as a regular, gluten-containing bun. The wise gluten-intolerant individual will eat at this restaurant only with people whom she knows well eating these burgers without a bun is at times a sloppy, awkward affair.Įnter EZs, with its gratifying gluten-free burger bun. With pickles,tomato, and onion – with ketchup and special sauce – without a bun. P Terry’s Lettuce-Wrapped Double Burger With Cheese What more can a Celiac ask? But just try eating a cheeseburger Herein lay the one advantage that P Terry’s has over EZs: gluten-free fries! And P Terry’s fries are perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Since P Terry’s doesn’t offer fried, breaded food, the fryers in which the French fries are fried are by default dedicated fryers. This limited menu selection means that this business puts its effort into ensuring the quality of the few menu items it offers.
It serves a chicken burger and a veggie burger in addition to beef burgers and fries: nothing else. P Terry’s advertises its natural angus beef as vegetarian-fed, and hormone and antibiotic-free. One can get a pretty tasty gluten-free burger at P Terry’s. For the gluten-intolerant, burger loving person, chasing that most delicious burger – submerging one’s self in the warm glow of comfort found in the well-dressed, deliciously juicy, perfectly cooked cheeseburger – becomes an exercise fraught with disappointment and emptiness. Better to eat the burger with a knife and fork at least one has a chance of getting a little of the “everything” in each bite. Sure, many restaurants (such the local Austin chain P Terry’s) offer the option of lettuce-wrapped burgers, but for people who believe a burger is complete only when it has “everything” on it, the slippery, flimsy lettuce wraps become more of an obstacle than an aid. The task of eating a burger in this manner is made all the more arduous when the hapless individual needs ketchup – and sometimes even special sauce – to perfect the loaded bite of hamburger. The truth of his statement takes on philosophical depth, however, in the life of a gluten-intolerant individual destined to struggle with the task of keeping bits of bacon, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and onion balanced on bites of cheeseburger, all of which must also stay balanced on the fork as it travels to the sad individual’s mouth. Kroc affirmed the inherent beauty in a hamburger bun he was, of course, referring to the traditional hamburger bun in all its wheat and gluten-containing glory.
