The Burger Thread

The last time I ate a Mickey D cheeseburger, I nearly choked it was so disgusting.

I nearly salivate on myself when I think about DQ cheeseburgers, on the other hand.

Haven't spent much time there (London) since a decade ago or so, and I was too broke then to try anything nice.

If you ever come here again, I'll pay for us to go to a few places juuuust so I can show you them. <3

(And I've got an annual Oyster Card, and will get a weekly one for you.)

I've gotta say, that Pretzel Bacon Burger Wendy's had this fall (don't know if it's still around) was one of, if not the, best burgers I've ever gotten from a fast food chain.

Why thank you, Rachel. I'd love to take you up on that someday.

I like both Wendy's and the ones I myself cook. :)

If it's chain fast-food then all hail the In-N-Out!,...maybe Carl's Jr/Hardee's depending on the place.

In'n'Out is very good, though not much variety. Great for what they do, though. 4x4 Animal Style wins, I'm sorry.

In my city there was a time when Mc Donalds and Burger King reigned supreme. Jack in the box tried to bounce in but failed miserably. Now, Carl's Jr. is owning the place. Its not as cheap, but the food is good and plenty and that is what we care about.

However, the best burgers are those grilled outside with the Monoxide smoke from the street to give it flavor and unsanitary conditions abound. Those are MEN burgers.

When I was in Canada a few years ago I went to Wendy's and had a Baconator, which was extremely good.

From my experience GBK make the best burgers. I usually just have Chicken, but they have quite a bit including well, Buffalo for some reason.

I had a microwavable burger today. They taste different from normal burgers, and are kinda meh. Still edible. 5/10.

So recently I got to go out for lunch with some relatives, and I had a turkey schnitzelburger, since I'd never tried it and it sounded seasonal. It was basically a burger made like a turkey sandwich, with cooked turkey, 'turkey stuffing' (it's probably made separately), cranberry sauce, and cheese. Rather unlike any burger I'd had before, and quite tasty (probably terrible for my waistline though :P).

Cranberry sauce with turkey and stuffing? On a sandwich? Sounds like the type of food that's enjoyed by people who eat chocolate-coated bacon. But then again, my dear homeland Asia once sold a burger with a bun made out of... rice.

Saw that first in England, actually; the Brits are notorious for putting dinners between two slices of bread (it's how the sandwich started, after all!)

I assume you sandwich-philistines would not like to hear Achaemenid's recipe for a Lasagnwich?

I'm sure we slam anything between two slices of bread. Bread is cheap!

Yep. I actually am guilty of putting instant noodles and bacon in a sandwich once

I've put eggs,chicken,jack cheese,and refried beans as a sandwich,....didn't have enough yolk to make it an omelet.

Interesting.

@bacon: When you're a college dude on his last week of food and too low on cash to go shopping again,you'll scrounge up all sorts of things.

I found out that the mart in nearby mall sells already-formed, raw burgers. Those mofos weigh half a pound each. And they're pretty damn good, they just take their time in the pan.

I had Steak n' Shake a few days ago. Man, I love me a Steakburger.

I'm never getting the Cheesy Cheddar again, though. Too much cheese~

Just like there's no such thing as too much dakka or choppa, there's no such thing as too much cheese.

Yes, yes there is. I say that being a cheese lover.
