The Burger And The Blonde

Thursday night I decided to put the month where my mouth was - and fully appreciate National Hamburger Month with a couple of friends at Rosie O'Grady's Times Square. After a so-so Caesar, we were all primed for the beef - and quite the mound of bovine it was. This was one sizable burger, juicy and flavorful. I washed it down with a pint of Magner's Hard Cider on ice and could have easily called it a night - but the theater called.

I had tickets to the muscal version of "Legally Blonde" and wasn't expecting the latter half of the evening to live up to the glories of Rosie O'Grady's all-beef patties. I'd sat through enough souped-up Broadway versions of feature films to know not to expect too much. (Point in fact: "High Fidelity" the musical. Need I say more?) But, drumroll please: "Legally Blonde" was a pleasant surprise.

Don't admonish me! I mean it! It was cute with a capital "OOT!"

And, Laura Bell Bundy as the Delta Nu airhead gone Harvard Law valedictorian was a delight to watch - especially when her blonde wig fell off mid-bend and snap and she plunked her tresses back into place with aplomb and good humor.

Elle Woods would've been proud.
