We spent this past weekend in Napa Valley, tasting wine and eating good food. One of the best meals we had was a pair of late-afternoon burgers at Taylor's Refresher, right on Highway 29, the main road that runs through the Valley. 
The place is just a classic walk-up counter stand, with a good selection of various burgers and other sandwiches topped with all kinds of great additions. Cillian's was some kind of mushroom cheeseburger, but I'm pretty sure he picked it because it was served up on sourdough toast.
Mine was one of those low-cal burgers with an enormous onion ring, bacon, blue cheese, barbeque sauce, and pickles. It was amazing.
For two wine-weary travelers, this was a great rejuvinator pit-stop.

I must have been feeling the hamburger vibrations! I came home tired last night and instead of waiting for spaghetti sauce to cook down, I made two kinds of "sliders". One, served on slices of french bread with a skim of red pepper jelly, had the hamburger patty seasoned with "Bavarian seasoning" from Penzey's and was topped with brie and carmelized onions. Very low-cal. The other had adobo seasoning, cheddar cheese, carmelized onions, and peppadews and was served on an english muffin. Both were delicious, but yours look even better!
