From Another Era

Drive-in restaurants were very popular once upon a time. Burgermaster has a number of drive-in restaurants in this area, one of which is not far from where we live. Car hops, no longer on roller skates, take your order and bring it on a tray that fits on the car window. The orders are recorded on a small electronic device that's also used to swipe credit cards - an interesting mix of the old and new. 
The menu indicates the beef is all locally grown, hormone free & antibiotic free. I guess that's the "healthy" part of this meal. 

 Crows patrolled the area. We saw one fly in and grab shiny foil-wrapped food off a tray. 
Bill Gates and Microsoft used to have offices next to this Burgermaster. Gates often had their burgers, fries and milkshakes. There are rumors that he still goes to this Burgermaster in Bellevue. His home isn't far from the drive-in. Here's a link to an article about Bill Gates and his connection to the Bellevue  Burgermaster.
