We make some dinner

So while we were in New Zealand we found out from Eve’s husband Lynn that she has been raving about this “incredible burger” she had over 10 years ago when she last traveled to the south island in NZ. So while driving down the coast, we HAD to stop for the burger. Is it as good as she remembers? Here’s what Eve has to say:
