My friend, Skip, a connoisseur of cheeseburgers, established a rating system for cheeseburgers in the Bahamas. Skip is back in Maryland for the 2011-2012 season.
[Note: I usually joined Skip by ordering a burger too – just to keep him on task in his evaluations. However, my new heart-healthy diet has put paid to that practice.]
Rating Scale:
