Five Guys is an interesting case. They started as a small chain in Virginia, and at the time had amazing burgers and piles of fries for what was basically fast food prices. Once they had some reputation and expanded locally, the prices started going up to more like a premium fast food chain - no longer drive through prices, but still a damned good burger and a good value. They continued to get good press for this combination and expanded nationally, but while the burger was still good the prices inched up to more like a fast casual place. By the time you're paying nearly $10 for a burger there are so many options that what was an excellent $5 burger loses its appeal.

I used to be sniffy about Five Guys but in Luxembourg a McDonalds or Burger King meal runs you ~€10 at which point Five Guys for a few euros more is an absolute no brainer.

The appeal is that they come in near unlimited quantities. The containers they have are meaningless because they just fill the bag their fries come in.

They give you a ton of them and the seasoned fries are really good. :shrug:

Five Guys has meant less than nothing to me. I know people who swear by it, go crazy over it, but I went twice and it was just :shrug:. I heard--probably here--that you're better off going to a location that's been open for longer, because the grill (or whatever) gets seasoned and results in better burgs. Maybe I'll give them another try now that my local restaurant isn't brand-new.

A classic meal for broke students in Sweden is "Pasta Rosso". Boil the cheapest pasta available and cover with the cheapest ketchup available. Maybe salt the water first if you're feeling real fancy.

Don't. They make an OK burger but you can spend the same for something better anywhere else at the same price point. If you're into too many lovely peanut oil fried french fries it might be your jam but....

it owns. get it if you have the chance

Oh dang, all the pizzarias here in Denmark(which are like, to a one, run by emigrant Turks and Kurds), do this thing. It's usually only made in one format, called a "Matador," where the filling is cheese, tomato, sliced steak/filet(either beef or pork), mushrooms, red peppers, sometimes bacon(usually only if its a pork filet) and bearnaise sauce.

It is extremely delightful and I've never managed to replicate it at home.

You do get a ton but I've always found them to be too soggy/limp. Still better than like bruger king fries but could be a lot better.

The lack of pizza rules demands that I accept that this is a pizza.

I cannot, however, believe the idea that someone found joy in that meal.

That looks pretty good to me too, but I dunno about the pickle. I love pickles but I think it would make the hash browns a little soggy 🤔 maybe if they double fried the hash browns, then we can talk

'Ekmek' is bread in Turkish. Although the etymological roots of pide and pita are obviously similar, no Turk calls bread pide.

Georgia's khachapuri looking similar is no surprise given the extent of the Ottoman empire's influence on food in the region. I've never eaten khachapuri but while it looks superficially similar to pide, pide can be made with a bunch of fillings whereas I know khachapuri is always just cheese and bread.

I was in Lviv Ukraine in 2019 and there are Georgian restaurants all over the place there the same way Mexican places are here, I'm pretty sure it occupies a very analogous place in the culinary culture.

Our hosts took us to a different Georgian place every day lol, I had so much khachapuri (and turkish coffee and khinkali and chacha holy poo poo)

I hate crispy pepperoni so much I thought I just didn't like pepperoni. Having it covered in cheese might work well for me.

When I was kid I used to order ask for linguica on my side of the pizza instead of pepperoni and it worked much better.

There are also grades of pepperoni, when I make pizza at home I get the good stuff and you can tell the difference. Linguica is still a better topping if you can get it. And if you can, consider a linguica, garlic, and artichoke pizza for an ultimate savory experience.

If those are big mac sized patties then that burger would actually be relatively small and probably be a lot easier to pick up and eat than the behemoths most burger places serve nowadays.
