You should have questioned it, in English, then demanded a re-fire tout de suite. Parisians love the banter.

I always love the "disclaimer" speech when ordering a burger or steak in an America chain restaurant and them describing what it will look like. Of course a lot of chains won't give you the option how you want your burger done for liability reasons.

I made some burgs yesterday but forgot to photograph them. I decided to go with a normal burg, melt some Brie over it and serve it with grilled onions, some of my home made bacon and a garlic scape pesto. They came out pretty good.

A+ would eat mostly raw burg again

I got daggers when I immediately went to English. So I memorized how to say sorry I cannot speak French but then they'd cut me off half way and give me daggers anyhow. Loved Paris.

Of course a lot of chains won't give you the option how you want your burger done for liability reasons. I ordered the steak frites last night after enjoying some razor clams as a starter. The server offered me rare or medium as options. I chose rare. poo poo wasnt even browned all the way on the outside and it was amazing. The beef was much gamier than the corn fed American beef I'm used to and much leaner. Burgs tasted a bit different, though that may have been the rawness too.

Yeah temps in France are well below their equivalents in the US. “Bleu (blue lol)” is basically raw, “saignant (bloody)” is seared and barely warmed through, “à point (on point)” is rare, “bien cuit (well done” is what you think but with a pink inside. The elusive “medium-rare” is hard to nail down but “à point” will get you closest.

e: thanks for the heads up, Phil! The tartare I had for dinner was basically the burg I had for lunch minus the sear. it was ground beef (extracted through some sort of grinder) minus any egg yolk to hold it together and not formed in any sort of mold. It was a bowl full of hamburger, basically, for $15 bucks, more or less. it was "thai" tartare and flavored with thai basil, peanuts, pomegranate seeds, and spices. these French people are wacky in the best way. I think I'll order beef at every meal and see what they serve me lol. gonna burg my way across Paris this week Eat This Glob fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jun 17, 2019 |

Dear burg thread, today I had  I was too excited to remember to take a picture of it, but the kind of burger I had was what we in Denmark call a bøfsandwich, which basically translates as beef sandwich. Very inventive, I know. Here's an image:  The recipe is basically this: Bottom bun, ketchup, pickled beets, beef patty, pickled cucumber, Danish remulade, top bun, brown sauce (gravy with caramel coloring), and fresh as well as fried onions.

I lived in Texas for 1 year and was told by my boss to slow down on Whataburger cause I was gonna gain weight if I didn't. And as much as I would enjoy it if it came to Ohio, I kinda do want it to stay a Texas thing. I think certain places being a rare or unique experience rather than common adds charm and good memories and makes a place worth visiting. I had good burgers in Texas, particularly Rodeo Goat.

Made my standard burg the other day. Smash double with American and Stilton blue, onion jam, thick bacon, romaine and homemade mayo secret saucepan a potato roll. The fries were my attempt at air fryer fries. Blanched them then cooled, dried, oiled and air fried. They turned out good not great.

The problem with Whataburger is that as a chain there's a lot less top down control and consistency than, say, a McDonald's. When they're good, they're really good (although I'd say burger wise, steak n shake, smash Burger, or burger fi is better), but when they're not, you get a just totally  burg. The real strengths of Whataburger are the breakfast biscuits, and the fact that they start breakfast service at 1130 pm.

If you are close to a good Whataburger, the burgers are great, but I have definitely had some lovely ones on road trips through smaller parts of Texas.

I just had a double Whataburger over the weekend (flights stranded us in the DFW area for a day) and it looked nothing like that, and was delicious. My wife got the patty melt and loved it. Didn't take any pictures because I am a horrible human. It must be really hot or miss. The fries are nothing to write home about.

The fries are typically real good and competent on the level of McD's- I consider that a good thing, since McDs sets a really high bar for fries, especially compared to places like 5 guys or in n out where the fries are trash but the burgers are good. The real bonus is the ketchup and spicy ketchup at whataburger has crack in it or something, because it's so tasty.
