Miss Ann is a woman of commanding style
She works alone at her grill
Patting each ample patty lightly
As she sets it down
Her masterpiece
Is a two-patty cheeseburger
Tricked out with bacon
That she tends closely
In the fryolator
The extreme economy of motion
The running dialogue
Of lightly sassy repartee
Miss Anne dusts
Your almost-ready patties with
“Seasoned salt”
Tinged red from cayenne
It looks like a mistake
Too much
Over the top
You get your burger
You regret [your doubts]
This is the next level of burgerhood
It just barely fits in your mouth
After trying a whole lot of burgers, Raymond Sokolov declared Miss Ann’s masterpiece, the Ghetto Burger, the best hamburger in America in last weekend’s Wall Street Journal.
