there was still one basic hamburger I hadn’t put my teeth for lunch on at BLUE BOOKS cafe in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City: Avocado & Cheddar Cheese Hamburger!

Simple enough in concept it still made for quite some volume!

What I like about their hamburgers is the inclusion of plenty of leafy greens!
After all it is a whole meal!

Big tomato slice for great balance both in design and ingredients!

Thinly sliced avocado for easy eating!

Thick slice of cheddar cheese directly atop the beef patty!

They take time and care to prepare and cook the beef patties!

more greens with the lunch set! Much appreciated!

And coffee to wash it all down!

I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for a while till the next report as I have tried everything on the regularly changed menu!
