To tell the truth, I鈥檝e been a vegetarian for five years. I never really crave red meat, so a few weeks ago when I suddenly had a hankering for a burger I was surprised. I took it in stride, however, and decided to take a break from my herbivore habit.
This sudden meat craving led me to Chow Thyme, a food cart in Independence. Their tagline is 鈥渓ike yo鈥� momma made it,鈥� and let me tell you, my mom is a good cook, but this is a whole 鈥榥other level.
The Bacon Blue Cheese Burger I ordered was stacked with a half-pound patty and a generous helping of bacon, blue cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and some amazing house-made sauce. The house-cut fries that came with it were fresh and flavorful.
鈥淭hey have the best fries in town,鈥� said Jocelyn Chavez, junior anthropology major.
I thought they were reasonably priced at $8 a burger. By the time I was done with my meal I was full to the brim.
鈥淚 really like the Mushroom Swiss burger,鈥� said Chavez. 鈥淚鈥檝e had it a few times now.鈥�
Open 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, Chow Thyme also has breakfast and entree options.
Check out their menu online at and you can catch them next to the Family Tresures Marketplace in Independence.
