Gunderburger!

This weekend, while my sister was out mountain bike racing at Chequamegon, Wisconsin, (She used Leadville to warm up for this race just like Lance used Leadville to warm up for the Tour next summer. That's my observation) She did fantastic by placing 1st in her age group and placing 7th of all the women and 120th of all the racers ( there was well over 800), we stayed at home enjoying a 3 day weekend. We capped it off by doing a mini road trip to Gunder, Iowa.

Gunder, Iowa is home to The Irish Shanti, and birthplace to the Gunderburger. We have heard about this and wanted to see and taste for ourselves. It took a little over an hour to get there from Cedar Falls. It is on the list of Worlds 100 Best Restaurants, Essential Iowa Food, Des Moines Register (July 9, 2006, 100 Things to Eat in Iowa Before You Die.
But don't just read about it. Drive out and eat one yourself!

We arrived about 6:40 after calling them to tell them
not to turn their grills off before we got there.

Pictures were taken to tell the guys tomorrow.

All dressed up and ready to go.

I like mine clean.

Member of the clean plate club.

Owner Kevin Walsh does a Kilroy or a Wilson from Home Improvement.
Kevin is from Boston and noticed the NY Yankee shirt right away.
We told him, yes were embarrassed and "yes" he is adopted.

Christopher also joined the ranks of the clean plate club. Placing a DNF, Did Not Finish, I took a large portion of mine home. Elizabeth stuck to her tried but true chicken tender/sticks/strips.

It was a very nice time spent together. Here's to another spur of the moment road trip!

Take care and take lots of pictures.
