The Brad makes a burger run to Jake’s on Belt Line Road near Addison

ADDISON — Since I went to the trouble to make a burger category, I guess I better start filling it.

Man, people do love the Jakes (hmm... no apostrophe?). Since they recently opened one up near Addison, I've been repeatedly invited for lunch -- and for some reason have resisted, I mean I really like my Green Chile Swiss Burger at Snuffer's.

Finally, I relented.

My first reward was these addictive jalapeño "Bottle-caps" with Ranch dressing. "We need two orders, please."

Here is The Works: double meat, double cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, mayo, mustard, ketchup. (Sorry -- some of these pics are pretty gory).

The Jakes Special (photo at top of story) had double meat, double cheese, lettuce, tomato, thousand island.

Finally, the Chicken Sandwich which tastes better than it looks, I'm told.

These sandwiches suffer from that soggy-smooshy bun syndrome (as do Snuffers' if they sit too long), but the insides sure are tasty. So ... fine, I'll meet you at Jakes.
