Why you should go to Bub's Burgers for Lent

The vibe: Bub's started as a pandemic pop-up, but found a home in Mid-City adjacent to Banks Street Bar. (There's a service window between the two businesses.)

• The small restaurant is filled with graffiti art, vintage arcade games and a few booths, giving it an old school Pizza Hut energy.

What I ordered: An Oh My Cod sandwich ($7.50) and a side of fries ($5).

• The sandwich is simple — just breaded fish, tartar sauce and a slice of American cheese.
• But it's close enough to another fast food sandwich (it rhymes with shmilet-o-shmish) that it can appeal to my baser instincts while still making me feel superior for supporting a truly local restaurant.

If you go: Bub's Burgers only has the Oh My Cod through Lent, but any burger here is a good choice.
