Don’t forget the smugness. These types of places always have such smug staffing, like they think they shit gold or something. It’s like bitch please, you’re demanding someone pay a day’s wage for you to fuck up ground beef. Fuck off out of here with your foofoo bullshit burger.

Seen this meme tons of times and I never noticed the menu was lorem ipsum
true, but even mid burgers are a fave from where i’m standing
But you can get a mid burger for way less than $30
Yeah! McDonald’s is only charging $20 per burger these days!
McDonald’s doesn’t offer quality like mid burgers.
I was joking. I guess that wasn’t clear. Agreed, McD’s is negative quality. Serving up Fallout 4 Pink Food Paste.
Holy shit people. You are all incredibly whiny bunch
Maybe I am spoiled by my three good burger places in one kilometre radius from my house one of which declared me persona non grata
+ chef wearing black gloves
And a beard.
Described like half of all restaurants.
The best burgers are found in places that look like you have to bribe a health official to get a barely passing grade
Not just burgers, that seems to be the best food in general
An angry Turkish man who doesn’t say hello, just glares sullenly at you until you order.
The best of those that I’ve found are often restaurant/something else in the same building. Like restaurant/laundromat. Or restaurant/rug shop.
Or the absolute worst. And they did bribe a health official.
see: all of Spain
I went to a place like this once. Had a bison burger (?) and it was avtually fucking delicious. The fries were just “fries” but they weren’t bad in any way. Above average in flavor and consistency.
I’m guessing most places like this are garbage and the one time I went, I got lucky.
I lived near a bison farm for a while, bison meat is just amazing, much juicier than beef.
It just the generic “burger place“ design. I haven’t seen a burger restaurant that doesn’t look like this.
So it logically follows that all the bad ones will look like it
Yeah the good burger places look mostly like this too. Or they did, and everyone copied it.
A lot of em make good burgers, too. Just not $35 with fries level good
Not in my opinion; for me its always the shabby looking shacks that have the best burgers. Mostly were the locals go
I hate $20 prices for burgers as much as the next warm blooded American but they are usually great. It’s a burger after all. That said it’s all about that bun!
I live in northern VA and all the burger and bbq joints look like this, mostly.
it’s all about that bun
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of culinary science…?
Everything else is just a really good sear and not overdoing the toppings too much. Don’t even need fancy beef, just 80/20 chuck can deliver top notch results.
Bison is worth the price tag for sure. These places only pretend to have that kind of power.
Most of them are mediocre. Most burger places were mediocre, and then the American gastropub trend saw burgers being made nice as opposed to diner food or bar food. They could also charge more money because they were making nicer food.
Eventually a bunch of the mediocre places shifted to try to also be nice, but mostly just increased prices, changed decor, and started using the word aioli more than mayo. Oh, and pretzel buns on burgers that got taller without being bigger and are cumbersome to eat.
In the plus side, if you like a Swiss burger with a garlic aioli, a burger with a fried egg on it, or a burger with 2 pieces of bacon, a spicy BBQ sauce, and fried onion strings and you’re in the mood for some fries with bits of peel on them and a garlic Parmesan butter, then you know exactly what they’re going to put in from of you and exactly what it’ll taste like.
Mediocre. Not bad, but definitely not the best you’ve ever had.
I’ll have the burger whose contents are stacked too high to eat comfortably and spill out when you try to bite it, please
It comes out with a dull ass steak knife stabbed through the top
UK: Is there any other way?
Burgers need to be wider, not taller.
When I’m the King I will mandate this.
You have my vote.
at the point where your cutlery becomes necessary to eat your burger unless you pig-trough it you have failed at making a burger
With a wooden stick in it half the height of the burger, if you could.
The stick is so it doesn’t fall apart on the way to the table, after that it’s your responsibility
And your choice of IPA, Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, XPA, or lemon squeezed on ice and a dash of ginger ale.
Craziest Burger and shakes I’ve ever had were in Boston.
Adding Portland to my list now.
I love BBC.
Havent heard of this place though, Ill check it out
I also love BBC. Never been to Boston, though.
BBC is the best! I love their radio stations.
Sure thing, is an inch-thick slice of tomato okay or did you want thicker?
So the city I live in has a few of these and they’re some of the best burgers in town, for fairly reasonable prices.
There’s a fucking war on here for the best burger and I’m so happy for it. We don’t fuck around with burgers.
They’re so good and reasonably priced that the first time I saw this meme I was a little confused. Like yeah the aesthetic is kinda lame but that doesn’t change the food. Maybe the stools aren’t comfortable but like, there are regular tables. Like what’s the problem??
Then I went to another city.
My friends, I am so, so, sorry. You don’t deserve this. Good burgers aren’t hard, they’re really not. Just stay home, invest in a griddle. Even if it’s just a small one for your stove top, you can make better burgers at home. Make friends with a local butcher, he won’t steer you wrong. I don’t know what caused that trend but I know the only way to stop it is to stop going.
My city has both, and they’re decorated the same. I just wonder whether a really good burger place did this first and then crappy ones showed up to copy the decor and forgot to make the food good.
I can already hear the stomp clap music
Sed Porttitor isn’t even that good, I dunno why they need it on their menu a half a dozen times.
You gotta try the Proin Ultrices
At the risk of playing into the stereotype: But what about Ut Gravida?
Yeah but only the #2 dessert ut gravida is any good. The #2 ut gravida main dish is for suckers.
“In-N-Eh”
Eh-n-Out sounds better.
There’s a bar here with that aesthetic. They do serve ok burgers at slightly reasonable prices, but the secret is to become friends with the cooks. Then tell them that you don’t care what the upcharge is, but you want them to make you the burger they’d want and to have fun with it.
Now I can go in and say “Tell them TexasDrunk wants whatever burger they want to send out” and 9 out of 10 times I get a burger that’s delicious (and sometimes insane). Usually they just charge me the regular burger price.
I don’t do it often, but I got good friends and good burgers out of it.
Hell yeah! When I worked as a server, I would ask the cooks to make me a burger of the day for my lunch break. There was no “burger of the day” they just went wild and often times they required multiple “load bearing straws”.
People who go into cooking generally enjoy getting to be creative. I love those insane creations that require load bearing anything (although I don’t think I’ve seen straws, usually it’s toothpicks, skewers, or pickle spears).
My absolute favorite wasn’t the tastiest but it was definitely the coolest. The guy made a pretty standard bacon jalapeno burger, added some house made barbecue sauce, cut it into pieces, skewered it, and served it as the garnish for a pitcher of micheladas.
Note: A michelada is kind of what you’d get if a bloody Mary went to Mexico on vacation and added beer and spices.
Kinda sounds like what people do to Caesars around here. Buy a drink basically get a meal on a skewer sticking out of it.
I do that often in bars when i want a cocktail and usually the result is nice
I hate the “EAT” sign. I came here for food please don’t be so demanding about it
You will eat here, and you will be happy about it! 😡
I’ll need a nixie tube sign to tell me to be happy
