Organic Food? Really? Are you sure? Yeah! Burger


I’m a little slow on the uptake.

Those nearest and dearest to me already know this; however, I don’t usually advertise that information to complete strangers, unless I have something important to say, so listen up!
I love a good hamburger.  Keep in mind, when I say “good hamburger” I don’t mean running through a local drive through, ordering an overpriced ball of grease in a paper bag and driving away.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking it.  I’m not going to preach about the dangers of fast food, that information is all over the internet and you can find it if you want.  I like burgers because they taste good, and when you compare a good burger to the ones at those fast food dives, there is no comparison. 
On a suggestion my husband and I tried Yeah! Burger this weekend with some friends to celebrate the hubster's birthday.  



Yeah! Burger is not new to Atlanta by any means.  The Virginia Highlands location that we went to on Saturday has been open since late 2010 (remember how I said I was slow on the uptake?) but this was our first time there and for the record, it was amazing!  In case you don’t know, Yeah! Burger prides themselves on wholesome, organic ingredients in all of their food.  They specialize in burgers made from Grass Fed Beef and Bison, all natural and cage free chicken and turkey, or an all natural and organic veggie.  All of the meat (and veggies that look like meat) are made from ingredients that are free of additives such as growth hormones, antibiotics, synthetic pesticides and herbicides, and other yucky things that seem to make it into our food supply.  They offer traditional sides and such as French fries and onion rings but also more healthy options like gluten free French fries, gluten free sweet potato fries, arugula salad, and my personal favorite fried pickles (also organic)!!!
Please don’t misunderstand…I am in no way a health food junkie.  I am, however, trying to make better food choices.  The one thing I hate about stereotypical “healthy” food is the taste.  There’s a reason why there are so many overweight people in America and that reason is simple, food that is bad for you, for the most part is really yummy.  I think organic food gets a bad rap because people assume that organic means bland and tasteless.  I thought that too until I tried Yeah! Burger.  You don’t realize that what you’re eating is good for you.  It’s amazingly good and I highly recommend.  So yeah, traffic in and around the Virginia Highlands is terrible (there’s also a Midtown location) and okay, you can get a less expensive hamburger at more than one fast food place try Yeah! Burger, just once and I promise it will all be worth it.
