Buttery Burgers, Fried Chicken And Champagne, and Saskatoon Berry Pie [This Week’s Weekend Eats]

It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve done the Weekend Eats roundup on Twitter and Facebook, what with days off and whatnot.

I’ll be honest. I was worried that maybe my social media chums had forgotten about sharing their best weekend grub with me.

I needn’t have worried.

I mean, look at that beautiful drink at the top there. That’s @foodpluswords attempt to make “a boozy, New Orleans-inspired Bourbon Street Milkshake!”

How great is that?

It gets better.

@fsutoby: A delicious Wisconsin Buttery burger from Steak & Shake.

@Brewkkake: “No Crusts” PB&J brown ale from @funkybuddhaboca.

@3BallersBistro: Lime Shrimp dusted with Alderwood smoked sea salt over a bed of cilantro, avacado & veggies wrapped in a butter lettuce “shell”

That’s not even the half of it. One follower chimed in with a photo of her dish. Sent from? Florence. Yes, THAT Florence.

See if you can pick it out of this week’s gallery. (Hint: There’s pasta in the dish.) Click each photo to read a description:
