And we’re prepping for our Annual Welcome Dinner up on the rooftop of our building. But guess where the students (and one professor) are going for a pre-dinner snack?
Master Burger.

A Walk in the Park
Once we bought out Master Burger’s supply of all things delicious we walked across the street to the big JLP park to sit alongside the wall and eat our paninis, fries, and Coca Lights (aka- Diet Cokes). As we ate, one of our more hilarious students, Eric Jones, took it upon himself to judge every French local who walked by and make hysterical commentary about them aloud for all of us to enjoy. He is a walking one-man-show, that Eric. People have started keeping journals on hand just to write down the amazing one-liners that he comes up with. You can read these on twitter by searching #ericincannes.
Just on the other side of the bushes from us in the park was a full-scale Bocce Ball Tournament, complete with concessions, announcers on loud speakers, and chairs for spectators. It was intense – each team wore matching bocce t-shirts or track jackets (many of which you could tell were made with iron-on letters) – I loved it. There’s old men playing bocce on the park’s little courts all day everyday, but on THIS day it was for all the marbles.
It is such a boy’s club though. I’m determined to break into their little bocce boy circle and become the first female/American champ of JLP. Watch me. I’ll do it.
These old men are going DOWN.
Kiddos, Meet Master Burger.
The students wanted some lunch and asked for a cheap, good place to go. I knew JUST what they needed. Everyone, meet Master Burger — the best, cheapest paninis in town. Where else can you get multiple hamburger patties, cheese and fries wrapped all in to one tasty baguette (conveniently called, ‘The American’…go figure). The guy who runs it gives random discounts to random customers at random times, slicing euros off the price left and right. A couple of the students were lucky enough to be given free waters and free fries for having to wait a whole 2 minutes for their paninis. This guy is great.
(The lady operating the Wall Street sandwich shop was none too pleased to see Master Burger get 100euros worth of business in about 5min from all our students. All I have to say is, where your discounts be, girrrrl?)
I think the students will be frequenters of the Master Burger. 🙂
