An attempt to chase down Only Burger

We have been anticipating our first taste of Only Burger for several months! Many Durham food blogs have written about this restaurant on wheels. It has been described as the Triangle’s latest dining innovation: a white truck that randomly drives around Durham and serves burgers and fries. It was started by our favorite caterer, Tom Ferguson of Durham Catering.

Friday the 5th, Nathan stumbled upon Only Burger's site which stated: "OB is in the move and will be on East Campus shortly!! Thanks for your patience." I-was-pumped! We invited Michelle, Camden, and Mark to join us for this experience. So independently, Nathan, M&M, and I drove from our separate work places to meet at East campus. None of us spotted anything looking like a tasty burger truck. A quick stop at M&M's to check the internet revealed OB website had stated: "OB experienced a collision today and will not be running for some time. We'll keep you posted. Happy Holidays." OH NO!

Our next stop, our favorite burger place in Durham, Dain's Place on 9th street (also our favorite bar). And we were again disappointed because at 7:30 they were already packed! We resolved to go to Elmos. I ordered a burger, but was severally disappointed. It was dry and hockey puck esque.


ONLY BURGER WHERE ARE YOU!?? I want to eat you!


Here is a picture of Camden at Elmos... the highlight of the evening. What is cuter than a baby in a hat with eyes?
