Re: Best burgers in Udon
It's too bad Harvey's isn't in Khon Kaen. The best part is you get to choose your own toppings so you can have ice in your root beer and pass on the mushy peas for your cheeseburger. It's up to you. https://www.google.ca/search?q=harvey%27s+cheeseburger+and+fries+with+a+drink+toronto&tbm=isch&ved=2a...
