heres the thing tho

you look at a burg, piled high and mighty with its toppings, and you say to yourself

"my god

what a majestic burg

jesus is truly lord"

and then you try and chomp down on that mother.

PROBLEM

it is too large!

see, here is the benefit of a burrito

while it may hide ingredients, at no point is it too large to take a bite

an honest food, a noble food
bad writing aside, i do think that burgers too large to bite into without modifications are dumb

slaters 50/50 is the only place i go to occasionally where i run into this problem, but they hit the limit of edibility. any time i see those burgers or "food creations" where you'd either have to take it apart or go at it with a fork and knife, i am annoyed because that destroys the beauty of a burger. burgers are beautiful because of both taste and function. grab that poo poo, slam it in yo mouth, enjoy pleasure. when you remove ease of access, you remove what makes a burger so wonderful.

those burgs are stupid, you basically have to dismantle them to eat them. that's just a bunch of poo poo piled up and called a burg. no go in my book, a burg is a burg only if you can actually eat it like a burg should be eaten

I agree with two other idea in this thread too. I'm not a fan of doubles/triples unless the patties are extremely thin. I also am not a fan of those elaborate huge burgers that have to be dismantled and eaten in pieces. If you can't get your mouth around it then it's not the best.

cams posted:

you know why this one is so perfect? everything involved from the bun, the burgers, the cheese, looks super inexpensive. given some real love and care, i could prepare it myself. it's the american dream in burger form, except not bullshit.

I agree 100%. There are some drat good looking other burgers in that one post alone, but for whatever reason that one picture just appeals to my primal side that loves meat. Sure I'd probably throw an onion or something on it, but DAMNIT it looks delicious It's got sauteed onions it looks like so nevermind!. It's 8:11am here and I just ate a banana, yet I'd still inhale that burger right now if it was anywhere close to me.


This picture is really cute and is almost like dessert after all the delicious burg pics in this thread.

Damnit I'm so passionate about burgs it's not even funny. I never dreamed I'd like a thread more than the Chief O'Brien thread but this one owns owns.

When you're right, you're right. That one made my mouth water the most as well. Simple burgs are always the best

Let's talk burg sides. There's fries obviously - but who makes the best? For fast food I think Mcdonalds is still king but Wendy's has made a good effort with their thick cut. Personally, i love a good tater tot though relatively few places offer them. Onion rings have never really been my cup of tea.

McD's then in-n-out. Animal style fries are a meal unto themselves.

anyone that serves a double with two thick patties is an idiot. the whole point of the double is to get 2x the amount of browned surface area with the same amount of meat.

I like Burger King's fries more than McDonalds.
In-n-out is somehow the worst. Doesn't make sense given how fresh they're prepared.

You guys must have different BKs cuz Burger King here sucks rear end. Any other fast food burger is superior.

I like crispy fries like what you get with steak frites or at McDonald's. I've never liked steak fries or thick ones. Too much potato.

Other acceptable sides:
- seconding tater tots (omg)
- onions rings (side or even in)
- good old fashioned potato chips
- comedy carrot option
- potato or macaroni salad

Fast food is suprisingly regional, for example A&W Canada is actually good. Also Wendy's Canada has sea salted fries which own.

In Switzerland the McDonald's were actually legit. They take that "McCafe" poo poo seriously too. Definitely a solid step above fast food.

Dear burgthread,

I don't have a meat grinder but I've wanted to try making my patties as demonstrated here. (Or, here if you don't want to watch a bunch of failed rugby burgers.)

also same chef but here's a whole 30 mins about eating and cooking burgs:

Actually the two fast food places that have my favorite fries now that i think more about it dont serve burgs: arby's curly fries (note: literally the only reason to stop at arby's) and chick-fil-a's waffle fries. All of my entries for best fries assume that they are fresh out of the fryer. Soggy/lukewarm fries are poo poo no matter what i think this probably goes without saying.

Fast food around here varies wildly from location (franchise) to location though :shrug: mcdonalds is probably the most consistent

I like the flavor of bison but I think if I make burgs from it again I'd mix it 2:1 with a fatty beef. Bison is so lean I've never had a good juicy burger from it alone.
