In the meantime I tried to get a doctors appointment on the island but learned that the only place I could get into wouldn't take my insurance. Just a sec, let me correct that. They could take my insurance, but they do not take out of state insurance. So when I asked how much a doctors visit would be I was told somewhere between 60 and 200 bucks. Hmmm, so I asked, "How do you determine if its on the 60 end or the 200 end?" The lady replied, "oh its up to the doctor's discretion."
Let me tell you, if I were a doctor, I would just charge the 200 because I'm not stupid. So needless to say, I took my chances with the prescription. While waiting for the doctor in Atlanta to call me back we drove about 15 minutes to this burger joint called Ono Char Burger. The word was they had the best burgers. When we pulled into the parking lot and saw the place, I was pretty excited. It was run down and there was a line. I like those shack style restaurants. Anyway, we ordered our burgers and were told it would take 30 minutes to get the burgers, onion rings and milkshake. What?! McDonalds can do that in 30 seconds. Oh well, we can wait. It's not like we have anything better to do. However, while waiting I decided to look in the shack to see why it would take so long to make the food. I wasn't surprised to learn that Hawaiians were running the operations. Hawaiians have never been accused of being efficient. They would cook one order at a time. So they literally had 2 or three burgers cooking at one time on a grill that could accommodate 24. I had to laugh when I thought about any of my Industrial Engineer buddies taking a look at the operation and immediately shitting a brick.
The burgers were alright, not special, but the milkshake and onion rings were terrific. At this time I also learned that my prescription was filled at the local supermarket. When I went to pick it up, I found out the supermarket didn't take my insurance. Damn you, Foodland!!! Oh well, that was the best $120 I've spent on pills in a long time. :)
Here are some pictures from the day. Sorry, no pictures of the sinus infection.
Talk about a great view! This is from the hotel room. (Not pictured - me feeling like crap)
Ono-Char Burger menu. It's called Ono because after you order you say, "Ono! It's going to take 30 f'ing minutes?" Or, "Ono! You only cook one order at a time?!?!"
I did really like the look of the place. Cool vibe.
My burger had terryaki sauce, pineapple, and cheese. It was good, but 30 minutes good??? Not so much. Denny's could whip this out faster.
