I took it in stride, however, and decided to take a break from my herbivore habit.<\/p>\n<p>This sudden meat craving led me to Chow Thyme, a food cart in Independence. Their tagline is \u201clike yo\u2019 momma made it,\u201d and let me tell you, my mom is a good cook, but this is a whole \u2018nother level.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have the best fries in town,\u201d said Jocelyn Chavez, junior anthropology major.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really like the Mushroom Swiss burger,\u201d said Chavez. \u201cI\u2019ve had it a few times now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Open 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, Chow Thyme also has breakfast and entree options.<\/p>\n<p>Check out their menu online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chow-thyme.com\">www.chow-thyme.com <\/a>and you can catch them next to the Family Tresures Marketplace in Independence.<\/p>\n<p>Contact the author at bebergerson13@wou.edu or on Twitter @ben_bergerson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To tell the truth, I\u2019ve been a vegetarian for five years.
