Chinatown posted:hoity toity try-hard burgers are good and all but please dont be a human being and try to elevate it above any other burger This. Hodad's is indeed a great burger. Their bacon "patty" is nuts. Haven't been to San Diego in a year. That burger and the tacos (literally everywhere for like a dollar each) alone are worth the trip.

Not preferable but for pre-made frozen patties, what do you guys think is the better of them out there? I've been pretty happy with Bubba Burger (original) in a pinch. Pretty quick on a pan and if dressed up even reasonably it's among the better pre-made ones I've had. I also have a decent recipe from a "foodie" friend for making good burgers, and while I do enjoy making things from scratch, I'm quite lazy and it's a rare occurrence so when I'm in the mood for a burger and don't feel like going out, Bubba's been decent. Anyone know of any better?

GORDON posted:As soon as he mentioned them I was going to ask if he found Bubba Burgers to be pretty dry. I haven't really found them to be too dry, but whenever I do make a Bubba Burger, I tend to dress it up with BBQ or Ketchup/Mayo and lettuce, tomato, onions, so that could be why I don't notice. You don't squeeze the burger as it cooks do you? If you do, don't. In general. Ever.

etalian posted:good enough to get its own comedy movie. I had White Castle FROM White Castle for the first time a few months ago. It's really only a Jersey thing and when visiting my cousin and his family, we decided to do a late night White Castle run. Up until this point, the only White Castle experience I had was the frozen ones from 7-11. Terrible. Just loving Terrible. I thought getting it directly from the source would be better and explain a bit more about Harold and Kumar's obsession with it, but nope. I seriously think the 7-11 frozen ones were better, but it's been years, so who knows. gently caress White Castle.

Code Jockey posted:meatloaf sandwiches are good af but are out of scope of this thread Well meatloaf is a bit unfair. Some chopped up bacon and perhaps diced onions with an egg to keep it from breaking apart is hardly turning the patty into a meatloaf.

Agree. I actually hate caramelized onions. Other than causing a stringy bite, I never notice them there. Caramelizing seems to do nothing more than "remove flavor." The only alternative to raw onions on a burger that I'll occasionally partake is onions rings/strings. Sometimes they really do the trick.

The Mad Archivist posted:the whole point of caramelizing onions was to infuse whatever they were cooking with, with an oniony flavor This. I've only seen caramelized onions put on a burger after the fact and it seems to do nothing. I know what caramelizing does normally.

Meanwhile those freakshows consider this a proper hot dog: http://www.viennabeef.com/filebin/images/historyOfChicagoDog.jpg I go to Chicago from time to time and each time I try one of these monstrosities and each time I'm reminded how disgusting they are. Coney Dogs for life. And in Boston, Spike's Junkyard had some great dogs. I miss Spike's.

I used to get cheeseburger subs from BHOP when I lived in Fenway. I miss them. I alternate between cheddar and American cheese on my burgers. I like Swiss as well but I usually like to mix Swiss with cheddar or even American. How do we feel about pickles? A spear on the side or in the burger itself? I like 'em either way!

Dyna Soar posted:veggie burgs can be really awesome yeah I like veggie burgers too. But I don't like when people try to compare them to burgers. Like that chik'n nonsense. Does it taste ok? Sure. Is it like chicken? No. e: not to say anyone here is comparing them, just a sticking point due to an ex-girlfriend of mine who was a vegetarian and would always try to get me to eat those "it's just like X" nonsense. I'd always tell her that things can taste fine on their own without having to bullshit us carnivores into thinking they're anything like the real thing. Hell I like Turkey Bacon just fine too. But don't tell me it's the same as pork bacon. They're both good but they aren't the same drat thing. PEOPLE AM I RITE? Shadow fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Feb 21, 2015 |

Most of the places hipsters go to for brunch are places they can't afford the dinner menu. Hipsters are foodies with less money. And foodies are annoying.

I did a burger tonight as well. Simple really. Ground beef, American cheese, two thinly sliced tomatoes, onions, and one leaf of lettuce. Ketchup and mayo. A side of mac and cheese. Dill pickle spear to round it out. A lager to wash it down. It is known.

yeah pork chops > lamb chops I actually have a bit of a craving for a big mac but it's like 20 with a real feel of 3 so I think I'm going to stick with getting something delivered. Burgers don't travel well for delivery.
