What Does Frank Bruni Eat at the U.S. Open?

A burger, of course. From his Diner's Journal blog:

I didn’t want a lobster roll, which was apparently available. I wanted a hamburger. And the one I got, advertised as a half-pound Angus cheeseburger, pleased me more than it had any right to. The patty was thinner than the promised weight of it suggested it should be. It was, of course, overcooked. (Why do almost all mass-produced, fast-food hamburgers have to be well done?)

But it felt right, and it was a ready, easy, unchallenging answer to hunger, which is the most relevant context of all. When you’re hungry, anything and everything tastes better than it really is.

Mr. Bruni, as you may know, is no stranger to the burgers.
