About a month ago, I was up with Navy for most of the night. After she went down, I figured I would start on my Christmas cards. So I turned on the television for a little company, and started stuffing. The background show was in honor of bacon lovers everywhere. Then they started talking about Slater’s 50/50. I thought to myself that Micah would die over their 50% ground beef 50% ground bacon burger. (Hence the name 50/50.) I started watching a little more closely, and when I found out that it was LOCAL, I was so stoked. I ran down to my computer and checked it all out, and told Micah and B. /tacky the next day that I had the answer to all of their dreams.

Fast forward a month. (Keep in mind that the entire last month I have been getting Tacky and Micah ready for the big surprise. No, I never told them anything about it except that it would be a hit.) The Tackys, Bunkers and we all headed down in Blake’s new ride. Scummy back-seat drove the whole way, while I navigated to the final destination. I was so excited to finally let the cat out of the bag when Micah said, “I just really hope we are going to the Bacon Bar by Red Bull”. Well we weren’t….and nice way to trump Slaters. But it was all good, because Slaters turned out to be amazing. (Minus the maple bacon shake that most of us thought was disgusting.)
Look at those burgers by design. We just checked off every single thing we wanted on our burger, and it magically showed up fifteen minutes later.
Look at the Bunks. Can you imagine a cuter baby? And she was perfect the whole time too!
Here I am with their award-winning “Peanut Butter and Jealousy” burger. It had a 50/50 patty with bacon, peanut butter and jelly on it. It might sound crazy, but it was really good.
We had such a fun time, but mostly because we were with really fun people. Afterward, we headed to the Santa Margarita Stake Dance to get ideas for the Tackys new calling. It was classic to see all of the teens being “cool”. Props to the group for making it all I had hoped. Blake (Micah’s twin) was hilarious. Micah was dramatic (which some people found funny). Mikelle is always happy and good company. Tacky is up for anything, and if it had been a total bust, he would have made me feel like a million bucks anyway. And Scummy — poor little Scummy….well, she pulled a fast one at the end of the night. But what’s new? You gotta love that little twirp!
