I am a hardcore “flexetarian” and beans and veggies often fill my plate instead of meat and potatoes. I could go on and on about how we should all eat this way…blah…blah…blah! And we should, but I will spare you (for today).
Despite my attraction to a plant-based diet, by the end of some days all I want is a big ol’ burger.
Lately at work, there has been a multitude of new goodies to sample – chipotle brownies, a whole new line of muffins, verrines, as well as some vegan cakes that are in the testing process. Many days I am sugared out by the time I get home and my palate is begging for salt. Such was this week, so Brian and I decided to try a burger joint that was on our restaurant “to-do” list.
The Little Bitty Burger Barn is the epitome of “hole in the wall”; it’s in the middle of nowhere (in Houston terms), has a gravel parking lot, small interior, mismatched furniture, and walls littered with pictures of patrons that have defeated their Big Ass Challenge. The menu contains the typical burger house staples of hamburgers, hotdogs, wings, fries, tots, onion rings, and shakes, which was just what I wanted. We both got a cheeseburger with a side of tots (because if there is tots on the menu you have to get them) and agreed that it was a wonderful basket of food. The burger had great flavor without being too greasy, the bun was perfectly toasted, the tater tots were hot and crunchy, and the portion of both the burger and tots was just right.
Yes, burgers are simple, but for me, a great burger is hard to beat. The Itty Bitty burger has now been added to my list of favorite burgers in Houston. Here are my others:
– The Lola Burger at Lola: 1102 Yale St., Houston, TX
– The Boss Burger at Zelko Bistro. A huge gourmet burger boasting cheese and bacon and a healthy dose of truffled french fries: 705 E. 11th St., Houston, TX.*
– Someburger Hamburger Stand. The onion rings and no-nonsense counter lady make this a Heights staple. 745 E. 11th St, Houston, TX
– Ruggles Green. Delicious and healthy turkey burgers, buffalo burgers, veggie nut burgers, and the best sweet potato fries. All certified organic to boot!: 2311 West Alabama, Houston, TX
– The Beaver Nut Burger at Beaver’s. Vegetarian’s rejoice! Brown rice and nuts come together to make my favorite veggie burger: 2310 Decatur St., Houston, TX.*
– For a fresh, local, fast-food burger experience, skip McDonald’s and head to Beck’s Prime.
– The Little Bitty Burger Barn: 5503 Pinemont Drive, Houston, TX*
And don’t forget your veggies the rest of the day.
*Look for Zelko Bistro, Beaver’s, and The Little Bitty Burger Barn on the Food Network’s Meat and Potatoes series.

We usually only hear about his famous cheese burgers in paradise but the man’s Prime Ribs in Swamp Water are the best thing that I have ever put in my mouth! The finest Prime Ribs this side of Heaven, they will melt in your mouth. Our whole family goes over to Kutcharitaville at least twice a week for Captain Kutchie’s amazing Prime Ribs. Also we can enter the contest for the monthly million dollar give away every month. My cousin won a million dollars last year. His wife won a new Jaguar car
two months later. I won a car before Christmas and you talk about nice. It was INNICE!…that means it was more than nice.

All of a sudden Stan blurts out What the Fuck are you attempting too do too the Finest Prime Ribs Ever?

Impeach Them NOW!!! Oh, I forgot one, The Rev. Al Not-So-Sharpton, very interesting butt Also Very Stupid!
Let’s Send them all to the moon for the next 50 Years!
What would Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez Say?
Well, He would probably say something like “No Soup For You!!!”. “Come Back 50 years”. Or something like for all those “Politicos” “Stay Away From Those Manholes” and he would say “Don’t Get None On Ya!”.
Anyway, we sure-do still agree with all those “Kutcharitaville and Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez Reports that everyone has been posting for the last 25 years or however long this internet thing has been going on. Captain Kutchie has been World Famous way longer than this stupid internet for damn sure. You can take that to the bank, Thats’ GOLD Jerry it’s GOLD! Or put it in your pipe and smoke it.
He would also say, All of today’s Anti Trumpers are mad because, they were promised by The Dragon Lady Her Self “Hillary Clinton” a leading Membership in Hillary’s 666 New World Order!
What makes all these Racist, Commie Leftest Liberal Wannabee everything for nothing Ass Holes and they’re Scum Sucking Pig, Fake News Chicken-Shit, Ass Licking Fake Reporters think that they can outsmart our “Lord Christ Jesus”? Hillary, your lord Satan was defeated way back on The Cross and yet, YOU, continue to deceive and recruit all those weak souls that you can fool too follow you back home straight too HELL!
Please don’t hold all this garbage against me and Captain Kutchie but It is what it is.
Bye, Bye, Y’all
Oh, One more thing that I have to share with all you, Hello Nice People, A very long time ago even before I had even got married and way before we had even heard about “Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez”or “Kutcharitaville” for that matter, That good looking SOB, my husband Stan told me that many years ago he had read an article in “Playboy Magazine” written by “The Infamous Chef Captain Kutchie Pelae ”In that article “Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez” was en lighting his readers’ about The Perks of being born in this millinimon, 1. The elixir of the human race “BUTTER”. Always add a good sized dab or two! 2. “PUSSY”. It’s what makes the world go around, get ya some today, it’s soooo GOOD! I hear that Captain Kutchie trys to eat him some everyday 3. “EJACULATION”…Now that’s the yummy-yummy sticky stuff better known as baby batter. Share some with the one you love. It’s also the stuff that we are talking about when we say “Don’t get none on ya.”. How’s hat grab you? How do you like them Apples?
And would someone out there, Please tell that “Moron” Tom Steyer the difference between a Democracy and a Republic. Thanks for that. He always wants to give head to head with the president, What? Donald Trump isn’t that kind of guy, perhaps he should get himself a date with good old “Mayor Pete”, I hear that his door swings that way.
And that “FREDO CUOMO” Such a Pretty Mouth? CNBC and all of our favorite “Fake News Teams”, What a Load of Crap for Damn Sure!
And that “SHITTY ADAM SCHIFF”, Well that asshole he needs to fall into one of those manholes the Dems love to talk about! Park a car on top of it so that Ass Hole can’t get out!
I See you later alligators. Thanks for you’re time, it’s been a blast!……Patti
Always remember Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez’s Homemade “Yummy Yummy” Sauce. It’s Soooo Damn Good!
