I did have the KFC Famous Original Ray's Chicken Sandwich and it was prepared nicely as to be a fit competitor to the Popeyes Ray's Original Famous Chicken Sandwich

Someone post a burger from Novosibirsk or something I'm making myself too hungry and I've already started drinking so now it'll be a mandatory Doordash if I want one :mad:

The dogs are good, I believe the split might be a health thing (prevents unchewed wiener segment from getting lodged in the throat, this is what you're supposed to do with kids hotdogs but it can be safely extrapolated to anyone unlikely to chew their food properly). The burgs are good too.

imo the cajun fries taste like they're seasoned with Old Bay without the Bay if that makes any sense.


It's too bad that proper fry cooking is a lost art. It's why most fries are hit or miss when they could all be perfect if they followed the double cooking process

Bourdain detailed his method in his Les Halles Cookbook, and I've always followed it. Blanche in low temp oil followed by a 2 minute fry on sub-nuclear oil. Spectacular results every time.

I met him in Pearson Airport like 10 years ago and to this day regret that I didn't tell him I followed his method and how brilliant it was. dude had enormous hands as I recall.

What's everyone's preference on chicken burgers? I love beef burgs but drat sometimes I just don't want that much red meat and a good chicken burg is loving amazing.

And yeah, I am calling it a burger. gently caress off with your chicken fried sandwich bullshit.

Chettinad Chicken served in a bun with lettuce and a salsa I made out of finely chopped tomatoes, pickles and jalapenos. Tzatziki for sauce. Served in a Viking Roll.

It takes a whole lot of effort but god drat is it worth it.

McChickens are good as far as I remember and so was the Chicken Premiere. They always seemed to add a little too much mayo though. It's been 20 years since I've been to McD's.

Accordingly, he had all the aircraft exteriors repainted and the interiors redecorated with features that included maple wood veneer, chrome seat belt latches, and gold colored lavatory fixtures. However, those lavatory fixtures were only gold in color (not content), and it’s not one of them that’s pictured here.

Donald Trump’s Fifth Avenue penthouse in the Trump Tower includes many nicely gilded furnishings, but no solid gold toilet.

Likewise, his private jet features gold-plated sink fixtures in one bathroom, but no solid gold toilet.

What the photograph used by Occupy Democrats actually depicts is a bathroom fixture that was formerly part of the Swisshorn Gold Palace in Hong Kong (a building not owned by Trump):

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Hong Kong jeweller Lam Sai-wing was the original possessor of the “World’s Most Expensive Bathroom,” including its fully functional, 24-carat, solid gold toilet

Once you get down there it gets hard to eat the burg, and you end up needing to take it out of the plastic thing to finish it. Plus it’s annoying to clean because of the grooves in it, and you look like a ding dong when you’re eating. If you’re really concerned about keeping your hands clean, hold your burg with a napkin

Ok burger. Also like $15 for a small burger and lovely fries.

I went there once when they opened one up here a few years ago. I haven't been back.

Five Guys burgers practically doubled in price over the last 5 years, it's insane. A single patty, no cheese, no bacon burg there is more expensive than a double-double from In-N-Out.

I actually really love their fries, though, and sometimes get a medium cajun style from the one closest to me and get a double double from the In-N-Out across the street. :btroll:

If the burg is sliding all around it’s a badly built burg. Too many sauces, too much sauce, sauce layered on the tomato, too much lettuce, etc. So many things that can go wrong.

Agreed, always tastes like someone dumped liquid smoke on freezer burned school cafeteria patties.

Or maybe they rescued a box of expired meat from a house fire and turned it into burgers. The burgers are always simultaneously grainy, chewy, burnt, but soggy. Then the fries are bad too.

Wendy’s has a decent burger but the real MVP is the baked potato side. You ever think about the logistics of serving baked potatoes as a fast food item when they take an hour to bake?

Nothing is worse than a pre-cooked A&W burger that's been sitting for hours before they serve it to you (the one near me does this consistently). The Burger Family is also unique to Canada apparently, and instead of Whistle Dogs the US had Coney Island Dogs :confused:

Also gently caress when they just refry stale onion rings. And if you're not going to put ice in your drink then make sure it's actually cold! :mad:

Lol each franchise must be different, because BK rules and the flamebroiled flavor is both desirable and delicious

Regarding Wendy's and the renovations/clamshell grill debacle, I would say that checks out, and as such I'm pretty much limited to the chicken sandwiches at this point (making an exception for the Bacon Cheddar Portabella Mushroom Melt or whatever it is)

I like Burger King sometimes but their burgers really taste like someone just added a dash of "grill flavoring" on it. Kinda gross tasting to be honest.

I made a doobie dog today. Ball Park bun, a good Wisconsin hot dog, some canned Stag chili, and a slice of kraft cheese. It was good and messy. But it was really sad and pathetic.
