Live from the booth

Ashlee Eats

Ashlee has a deep nostalgia for mediocre burgers, fries, and watered-down Coke. So we took her back to her favorite restaurant from childhood. It's exactly how she remembers it.

First course

The Fries

One bite and she's a kid again. Same fries she grew up on. According to Ashlee, nothing's changed. Not one thing.

Then the ring finger goes up. Fries plus a proposal, and she can die happy. Subtle.

“I could die a happy woman now.” Ashlee, mid-fry

Main course

The Burger

She slices it in half like a surgeon. One bite. “This is delicious.” Then she escalates.

By the last bite she's done proposing marriage. Now she's proposing a franchise. “Can we open one of these?”

“This is the greatest burger I've ever had.” Ashlee, knife in hand

Worth the drive

One lunch. Two proposals.

In one trip to Fuddruckers, Ashlee asked for a ring and a restaurant. We're still thinking about both.
