And the word “Offerings” will appear on the menu
Very accurate. Unfortunately for me, the place that looks like this, also has the very best burgers.
I’ve never seen a burger come without some side at a non fast-food restaurant in my city and I don’t know why I find the concept so gross.
I went to Portugal last year and they have this custom of serving crisps(chips, if you’re American) instead of chips (that’s fries if you’re American!) I bloody hated every second of it, the burgers were delicious though
Gross? Pretty harsh word for some fries. Does McDonald’s near you not sell big macs on their own?
So I don’t know if you read my comment, but I said
non fast-food
which in this particular case excludes McDonald’s.
Okay well in my defense I was reading very fast and read it as fast food lol
Burger Batch in Richmond VA is like that or at least it was last time I went. Good burgers; way overpriced. The pictures are spot on.
Yeah I believe it, the trend didn’t hit my city (Montreal) though, which is lucky. I went to Ottawa (a near city) a couple years back and they have a row of cookie-cutter pubs in their fancy part of town which all served burgers without fries and you had to pay extra for ketchup. I don’t know when I got radicalized, but that definitely paved the way.
This is Carl’s Jr.'s design to a tee! 😂
Glad I live in the south, where we have fast food bbq joints with $6 burgers better than you’ll get anywhere else.
They serve “local IPA” on draft for $11 or, ironically, a miller high life for a dollar.
This is incredibly accurate.
Why is this so accurate
Half of the “artisan” burger chains in my city are marginally better than a fast-food chain. One, maybe two of them make burgers so good that they’re worth the occasional splurge.
I used to work at a place like this. The owner was a psycho.
What cured him?
Her* and nothing she’s still a psycho. The only that changed is that I no longer work there.
I used to do drugs. I mean, I still do them, but I used to do them too.
Cheese:
American $1
Cheddar $2
Smoked Gouda $3
Isn’t American cheese just cheddar cheese with some extra flavoring?
American is typically more mild in taste and smoother than cheddar; unless we are talking Kraft Singles American, which is a smoother or creamier cheddar.
I thought it was cheddar diluted in some chemicals and milk to improve flavor and to lower the melting point.
It does have emulsifiers and other dairy products in it. It has a higher moisture content, which the emulsifiers help to hold in suspension with the cheese. Without the emulsifiers the cheese would leak water/fluid out and the shelf life would be considerably shortened. The emulsifiers used are very common in many foods from almond milk to soft drinks.

All the workers have forearm tattoos
-
At least 3 people are wearing beanies in the middle of summer
-
Bacon is $4 extra
-
The burger comes out on a bun drenched in butter and is so greasy/oily that halfway through it may as well have been served in a bowl
The place is being run by 3 bearded lumbersexuals in flannel and ball caps having the time of their lives and a chick in overalls and her hair in a bandanna who could not be more over it.
Also:
- The waiter has a twirled moustache and wears a mesh shirt combined with a bowler hat
- The $4 extra bacon is burned to charcoal strips
God I wish my wish waiter wore a mesh shirt, where the hell is this?
In a place where touching the waiters is not included, sorry ;)
It’s also a dry pretzel bun
The biggest disappointment
At this point pretty much all BOH staff in any resto are packing tons of tats. Probably easier to count the ones who don’t
The sound is provided entirely by a neglected Technics 1200 that nobody knows how to adjust accept the barback that only works on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Drinks are served in jars, and your fries, well, you get 8 fries in a rusty old can.
I hat that brushed butter bullshit. If you want a butter burger, it goes on the hamburger patty,
Also the heat is cranked up uncomfortably high. The air is muggy. The whole place smells of onion.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !wewantplates@midwest.social
Good bot
There sure are a lot of comments on this repost like no one’s ever seen it before. Are we being infiltrated by bots again?
I’ve seen it before, but it’s a good one
People don’t see every post every time they’re posted. Reposts suck for very active users, but for new and infrequent ones, they serve a purpose.
There’s a BBQ place near me, and I ordered tater tots there once, as a side. They were $4. They literally gave me 4 tater tots. They were one dollar apiece.
There are two types of BBQ places; stingy, overpriced, gourmet bullshit with barely any sauce and greasy, messy, heart stopping heaven. The former always pretends to be the latter.
There’s also Mission BBQ which is stingy, overpriced, overly-sweet non-gourmet bullshit with jingoistic pro-military support-the-troops bullshit thrown in for good measure.
Don’t forget the right-wing “we’re ignoring mask mandates in the height of the pandemic and not limiting seating because we’re god-fearin’ 'mercans here!” bullshit.
I ordered a gyro with a side of onion rings (the onion rings alone were $7) from a local place to take home. When I got home and opened the box of onion rings, I saw there were only six small (like, 1.5" in diameter) onion rings in the too-large box - more than a dollar per tiny ring. Next time I went I complained about the onion rings and they showed me the menu which said “6 onion rings” in the item description albeit in a tiny font. Like, they knew what complete and utter bullshit it was so they had to have something legal to fall back on.
“Bro, we told you we were bullshitting you, right there in the sign. That means we’re not at fault”
Fuck that shit.
