was it like, baby lamb or mutton? mutton can easily taste woolly if it isn't cooked right. did it taste woolly?

Woolly? I uh...

I don't recall if it was baby lamb or not. Haven't had mutton though, but from how it's been described, I'm not sure if it's something I'd like. I like to make it a point to try things I don't like after a few years just to make sure, so maybe I'll give lamb another try in the next 4 or 5 years.

Yeah this is what I try to do. Just never liked Lamb after having tried it a bunch, but I definitely plan on giving it another go in a few years. I read that your taste buds change every 5-7 years and it's worth revisiting stuff you didn't like before!

It's great if you like the outdoors. Lots of that. Not as many potatos as you would think.

Fun fact. All McDonald's fries come from Idaho though. Since Simplot is the only supplier.

I meant gastronomically. :)

I almost went to Idaho to visit Albertson's HQ for a project last 2013 but had to send someone in my place due to something or other. I was told that that all you could see around you was black smoke. I guess there were a ton of wild fires.

Yeah we had really bad fires. Sounds like he was in the Boise area?

Foodwise, it's what you would expect for a State with 1.6 million people spread over it. Not so hot, but it's improving.

Yup, it was in Boise alright. Is it mostly just generic American cuisine? I mean, is there anything people say you must try when you're there? Like eat Cuban in Florida, clam chowder in Boston, tacos in San Diego, deep dish pizza in Chicago, etc.

I wonder how many people he thinks reads his website. I imagine him watching 60 minutes and eating some microwavable food and then thinking "Oh boy! I have to go update my website so my readers get fresh content!"

then I feel bad because I bet the number is very very low.

He's been keeping his "homepage" updated for nearly 20 years. This man's amazing and I legitimately hope he's living a happy life.

Unless he's like a racist or homophobe or something. Though seeing as he's an aged fellow from Texas, that may be the case.

Burgers are even more like sex than pizza because its hard to have a bad burger experience but if you don't watch closely you will end up with an antibiotic treatable disease.

i had a burger from this terrible place here called Lucky's. It was like a burger flavored sponge. they're even known as a burger joint diner that does milk shakes and their burgers are terrible.

I've only had good sliders at bougie 4-star like places with $50 steaks a la carte. Otherwise I've always found them to be overdone and dry.

Yeah, non-beef burger sliders tend to be a good choice. Pulled pork, bbq rib, pork belly, etc.

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

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

how does it compare to goose fat? i cooked a load of duck recently and dipped bread into the tray of fat and it was orgasmic. is it not too strong a fat for a burg though?

Use it for fries not the burger! :)

I haven't actually had goose. I'll need to correct that.

At least I think I haven't.

A big slice of Jewish pickle on the side is good if you're getting a diner burg.

Absolutely. A spear of a bomb rear end kosher dill. A staple. Depending on the type of burger, I'm even fine with pickles in the burger!

Yeah, I want a Hodad's burger so loving badly. :(

E: Going to New Orleans next week for a quick break from the winter. Probably going to stick to cajun, jambalaya, po boys, and perhaps a quick visit to the original Popeye's. Any must have burger joints in the French Quarter worth hitting up?

My cousin and I hit up Plan B in Stamford and I got me a bacon burger with tater tots (!!!!!) made with "some pink"

Wasn't bad! Garlic aioli mayo was a good thing.

Cute waitress too. Insisted I come back for the upcoming bourbon tasting they're hosting. Oh tip culture. :allears:

asking for pink/no pink is weird to me but they make really good burgers and have a really well stocked bar. The philly cheese steak burger and the cheese stuffed burgers are my two favorites. Also their fries are great.

Yeah, having 2 settings must be easier on cooking for volume, but it definitely was weird. I was also told that the fries were good (I hate steak fries/thick fries) but once I saw tater tots on the menu everything went kinda blurry until I had them.


Also had the tomato bisque. Would recommend.


The cheese stuffed burger made me kinda skeptical. While I do like bacon bits or onions or what have you in the burger meat (if you want to call it a meatloaf, so be it), but something about cheese inside makes me instinctively say no.

I absolutely will be having the Philisteak burger next: topped with our Sliced Steak, Garlic Mayo, Mushrooms, Onions & American Cheese Sauce

Oh I agree totally and I would say the same thing about onion rings where the onion all comes out in the first bite. 1st world problem for sure.

loving hate that.

Same when you have to keep readjusting the burger patty in the bun because it keeps moving around. Just stay put and stop squeeze tubing out with each bite.

Escape is futile.
