Durham’s ‘Only Burger’

Posted on July 26, 2010 · Leave a Comment

If you find yourself craving a burger in the future and you happen to be in the Duke neighborhood, I’d suggest stopping by Only Burger!

If you haven’t had Only Burger before, you’re really missing out!  This mobile burgery serves up fresh/never frozen made-to-order burgers and fries!  (You’ll even find breakfast burgers on the menu!)

Check out this video and see what you’ve been missing!

Yes…the Durham Farmers Market is just that GREAT…I can’t stop talking about it! If you haven’t been to the Durham Farmers Market this season, I’ve found a great reason for you to go…so you can pick up these ingredients so you can make this yummy Tomato and Mint Salad I found on the Durham Farmers Market website!

Ingredients:

He’s hilarious, he’s witty, he’s one of my favorite actors….he’s Steve Carell! He’s so super funny in ‘The Office’ tv series and equally as hilarious in ‘Evan Almighty’.

Now he’s the voice of the lead villainous character, Gru in the animated film, ‘Despicable Me’, which hits theaters on Friday, July 9th!

Don’t be dismayed; his character is actually a funny villain!  Watch the trailer and check out local movie times.
