dive. (the restaurant, not the fancy swimming trick I've yet to master)

While most people would probably think from the topics of this blog that I am a lardo pushing 250 strolling around in a Rascal scooter, I actually enjoy the occasional "healthy" meal. Unless I'm hungover or hangry (hungry + angry), I tend to try and eat healthy during the week. This is not to be skinny (Lord knows I aint), it's so that I can binge without guilt every. single. weekend. So, after pilates yesterday (shoutout to The Pilates Barre, the best workout place in Dallas), my sister and I decided to walk over to Dive in Snider Plaza.

Dive has been open for about a year, and I've eaten there several times, but I hadn't found the one item that I would order every day. Until yesterday. Sweet mother of all turkey burgers, this one is the shiz. Below is the description, taken from their website. Please note: it says "aioli", aka I can eat it (on the side) and not think that I'm eating sickass mayo. The burger isn't in the shape of a regular burg, it is on a ciabatta loaf that tastes likes buttery heaven. There are grilled onions on top, and red onions mixed into the meat.  Had I been alone, I probably would have cried b/c it was so tasty. (I don't cry in public, and don't believe in human emotions).

SOUTH BEACH TURKEY BURGER ^$12

Sriracha aioli, smashed avocado, romaine lettuce, grilled onion, tomato & jack cheese - on a ciabatta bun

Lauren got the ahi sliders, which are almost as delicious, but for realz, the turkey burger made me consider giving up regular cheeseburgers. For like a week at least. The sandys come with plantain chips, which at first sicked me out, because I thought they would taste like bananas, but they don't. They taste like potato chips and are scrumptious. Go to Dive now. Get a turkey burger (and some hummus w/ extra crispy crackers). You won't regret it.

AHI TUNA SLIDERS ^$13

Seared ahi tuna burger, arugula, avocado, tomato, red onion & garlic aioli on a ciabatta bun

Now for the good stuff... You know how in every People/US weekly they always have a celebrity expose what is in their purse. Well, since no one, ever, has asked what's in mine, I figure you all must be DYING to know. Please note: in order to give full disclosure, nothing was added or removed from my purse. Although I'm sure after this, I will wish it had.
