Henrietta Hots; West Henrietta Road

Henrietta Hots can best be compared to the character Lester Burnham in the beginning of the 1999 movie, American Beauty; AVERAGE. There is nothing really special and nothing really horrible about it. It comes with two hamburgers that are below average in size, chewy and way overdone. The only hint of pink in this burger was the swirl of ketchup and mac-salad-mayonnaise that adorned the top after we mauled the plate like a tiger in a Sigfried and Roy show. It was nice to have a choice between french fries and home fries though. We went with home fries. They were not adequately crispy but not so soggy that you couldn’t eat them. A little dip in the meat sauce took care of that. The mac salad was lackluster with little taste or zing to it. Undoubtedly came out of that orb-like plastic jug. The Italian bread looks good in the wax bag but was a little stale. The payoff for the Henrietta Hot’s plate is the hot sauce! One of the better sauces due to its hints of cinnamon and just the right amount of hotness to it. It made every bite burn a little on the way down (as it should!). We are all betting that it will burn a little on the way out as well.

The charge for this plate is exactly $7 with no change – and that ain’t bad. This plate is OK at best but is worth a shot if you:
- are passing by looking for a new car on West Henrietta Road
- are waiting for your wife to buy new curtains and shoes at Marketplace
- have 55 minutes left on the hour you paid for at the Dorkat Motel
- are 4 idiots that work nearby and are too lazy to find a better option
