Chuckler’s Musings

Just look at this.

It’s Joe’s Famous Burger at my favourite restaurant in Chiang Mai - The Duke’s. It is described as such:

Blue cheese and bacon, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and spicy horseradish mayonnaise, served on a soft bun with a choice of fresh cut fries, hand battered onion rings, green salad or coleslaw

The best technique I have found is to get it with french fries, and a side of coleslaw. You then eat the burger, then the pickle, then tip the coleslaw into the blue cheese drippings from the burger on the plate, apply tomato sauce to the fries, and eat the coleslaw and fries together to finish up.

Sometimes I also enjoy the apple pie, but this time couldn’t manage it.

And how about the bill?

Joe’s Famous … 195 baht
Coleslaw … 35 baht
Service … 23 baht
Tax … 16 baht
Total … 269 baht

There are two Duke’s now - one at the Night Bazaar and one just a couple of blocks away over the Iron Bridge. I usually go to the Night Bazaar location - which Blacky and I found completely by accident - I think the Iron bridge location is slightly cheaper, but the Night Bazaar location has less mosquitos and better aircon in a “newer” style layout.
