So Elder Webb and I were driving home one day when we came upon a neighborhood hamburger stand. Our office associate had ordered lunch for us one day and we heard her ordering what we thought was a hambegger. When we drove by this stand we had to take a picture because it help us to understand where Tirhani had picked up the name. It wasn't hambegger, it was hambaka.
I'm not totally sure, but I think we are probably the only white people to have ever stopped in this neighborhood let alone the burger stand. Just as we pulled up to the stand another car drove in and out hopped two gentlemen. We started taking pictures from our car and they encouraged, almost insisted we get out, look around and order something. They said it was very safe because they were there. The man standing at the stand window pulled out his ID which showed he is a Johannesburg Police Officer.
So we got out and Elder Webb ordered some fries.
Our new friend showed us his official police badge and assured us we were welcome to walk around and check everything out. He even encouraged us to walk into the kitchen of this little establishment. We declined the offer but Norriss did walk around back and took a picture of the inner workings of our lunch stop.
The officer order a Russian and Chips which actually was two rather large sausage looking things served sandwich style only the bread was cut extra think. He poured a special sauce on it and said it was great.
This is actually a very lovely clean neighborhood as you can see from the pictures. This little stand is something George just built in from of his house and when he has time he opens up the stand and sells his very special brand of fast food. It's a bit of a tight squeeze but as you can see he has everything he needs to make fries, burgers, bakas and shakes.
We found the fries quite tastey but the catsup is really just tomato sauce. These people were very kind and we enjoyed a totally new kind of dining experience because of their kind welcome.
As you can see this burger stand is quite unique and stands alone in it's dining pleasure even in this neighborhood. Capitalism is alive and well in Johannesburg South Africa.

This is classic!!! Those of us who served missions in Eurpoe know the plight of crappy tomato sauce that they call ketchup. But did you really not try a milkshake?!? Who are you and what have you done with my dad?!?
