burger war!


Re: burger war!

Thought about posting a thread about this earlier.

There seem to be two camps, one who absolutely love it and the other who hate it.

The "hater" camp seems to complain about the price a lot, which in my opinion should not affect the judgment of the food. Didn't one faggit just walk out without trying the food after he saw the price? Jesus, how expensive could it possibly be?

But you know cheap people, they'll cry a river if they have to spend more than 20 quai.

I'm pretty sure when I get around to trying it, I'll be in the "loving it" camp.

Re: burger war!

I went to FatBurger on opening day, and neither their vegeburgers, nor milkshakes were ready, so i won't be going back until i know i can eat something there.

Alternatively, 1st Floors vegeburger, OMG. So very very good.

Re: burger war!

Someone just needs to open up a little burger shack with a couple of barbeque grills, some kaiser buns, a few different kinds of cheese and all the regular toppings, and not gouge the sh*t out of you on the price.

Keep some veggie burgers in the freezer for the occasional hippy. Wave

That's not a quarter pounder, dude.

That's some weird thing with weird orange sauce and cucumbers, ha! More fresh vegetables in McDonald's.

A real quarter pounder with cheese has mustard, ketchup and onions.

Rickshaw used to sell the best ones..... Crying

Now it seems just BlueFrog and 1st Floor. But BlueFrogs fall apart when you try to eat them, while the ones at 1st maintain their shape for the whole meal. Drooling

I was disappointed when i went to FuBar, and saw VegeHotdogs on the Stadium Dog menu, but found out they no longer sell them. Sad

I hear Let's Burger has vege option, but not tried yet.

fatburger is the NOTORIOUS B. I. G. of burgers!
and their milkshakes will make you wanna have babies with them.
pffffffft, people bitching about the price are so worthless.
too expensive? get something else to eat then!

top 3 burger joints for me, back in cali.

1. in 'n' out
2. fatburger
3. carl's (thats because you can get f-ing chilli on top of a mountain of a burger!)

Re: burger war!

also they call it a veggie-something...go figure! im sure you wouldnt have it!

anyways, back to topic.
fatburger. f*** yeah!
one of the best lines ive seen in their commercial marketing around LA:

'we didnt claw our way up the food chain to get some salad!'

f*** yeah!

Re: burger war!

Macca Dees used to sell quarter pounders, but I think they stopped for some reason recently.

Just been to Fatburger, where I was greeted like an honorary patron saint. I must say it's one of the best burgers I've had in Beijing. The onion rings were great too. Yeah, it's a little pricey, but you don't have to eat there every day.

The best ever ones were the ones in Frank's when it was at Gong Ti in about '03. They're crap now.

Lily's also rock.

As a non-American though, I don't pretend to be a burger connoisseur. Ditto pizzas because they were also invented in America.

thing about burgers or pizza's is the time most people eat them.
like, you've had a few, did a little bar hoppin', it's getting late...burger!
a nice, big, greasy one, with cheese and bacon!
done deal.
it can't ever really taste anything but great at that time.

or in your 'higher' class days. (haha!)
smoked out and getting to an italian place or just ordering some pizza.
some caprese maybe?
some red wine.
down it with a couple espresso's.
when can it possibly taste bad!?

both are part of such a social traditional ritual most people do when it comes to them.
not a lot of people eat them as a daily diet.
they're meals that you get under certain circumstances, mostly.
of course you order pizza or get a burger when you're out and about on your own but,
my point remains valid!

to resume:
most of the time im drunk or high when i get'em & so are most people.
so, yeah,
'connoisseurs', of burgers and all sorts of more popular fast food-ish eats are full of sh*t. Laughing

btw, happy 420 and i hope my post made sense Wink

Come on, now, that's hardly fair. Ranking burger joints when in-n-out is in the running is like picking the model student at the school where Jesus is studying.

On another note, McDonald's DID serve something that they called a "Quarter pounder with cheese" despite the fact that it was more of a "cucumber and thousand islands dressing" burger (still tasted damn decent, though). But the last few times I've requested it over the phone I've been told they don't have it.
(Not sure if that's just for delivery or temporary or what... I try never to actually go inside a mcdonald's.... somebody might see me.)

Sometimes I feel it is maybe unbearable always be traditional Chinese girl.

Re: burger war!

There are honestly people around that are burger or pizza snobs though.

I can understand pizza snobs somewhat, especially Italians, but to wax lyrical about f-ing burgers is nonsensical.

They're good or they're not. They're nothing more than convenience/drunk/high food and that's it.

Fatburger burgers are good.

There's a restaurant in London called 'Gourmet burger Company' or something, and, while pretty damn good, it's just a f-ing burger, the king of fast food.

No matter how you dress it up, put little copper bells on it and arrange the fries in the shape of a penis, it's still a fast food staple.

Re: burger war!

I don't know about that. There IS such thing as a premium burger.

I mean, you COULD in theory put a piece of kobe beef between two buns with some lettuce and call it the most expensive and gourmet burger you've ever eaten.
It's just, I don't know why you would want to.

If I wanted to pay that much for some quality meat and bread, I'd order steak and bread.

I could sure go for some steak right about now...

Re: burger war!

Also I've never called a burger a 'patty'.

To me a patty is mashed potato in batter.

Can't even find a pic.

Only available in the north east of England.

blurk...

Why is it called a patty?
