EDIT: Being that Ralph’s Diner also offers a veggie version of their cheeseburger, one could ostensibly order “The Veggie McGee,” or as Tony Brown called it “The McGeegan.”
What you see above is the first of it’s kind made in Worcester, Massachusetts. Hence, it has been dubbed “The McGee”
Now featured at the one-and-only Ralph’s Rock Diner in Worcester, Massachusetts. It’s a bowl of meatless chili with a cheeseburger (sans bun) and onions stacked on top. Invented and eaten for the first time by Mike McGee on February 22, 2010 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Prepared by Yosh Shartin, Worcester’s coolest bartender.
It came about due to the fact that Ralph’s only serves cheap booze, a standard, yet, very delicious cheeseburger and a bowl of chili. There is no menu. Burger or chili are your choices. Well, it turns out that I enjoy both immensely, but the bun is fucking enormous and too filling. I am never able to decide, although, when I do, I go with the chili 9/10 times.
I usually eat at Ralph’s on Monday nights, just before the utterly tremendous Dirty Gerund Poetry Show gets started. I really couldn’t decide what to eat last night, so I asked Yosh to top my chili with a cheeseburger and onions.
History was made. I am and have been honored! Next time you’re very hungry and in Worcester, hit up Ralph’s for “The McGee.” It pairs well with a Narragansett lager, of which they have on tap. Yosh charged me $10 for the dish and a pint of ‘Gansett. Probably wouldn’t recommend it very often, but it will fill you up, guaranteed.
Or tell your local burger joint to start making it. It tastes fanfuckingtastic!
Fear it! Enjoy it! Let it consume YOU!
