Furious Lobster posted:Whataburger is the coward burger chain - no presence in CA recently despite having twice the total amount of stores In-n-Out has, in Texas alone. This is probably because Whataburger tried to have a presence in CA before but shut down their locations down due to having terrible burgers. Judging by how crap In andOut was I'd instead suggest that people there have poor taste.

GrAviTy84 posted:Whataburger def better than 5 guys. Srynotsry We've been disagreeing on an awful lot lately... I like 5 Guys WAY better then In N Out! Best burger is Fatburger. You can get it grilled OR fried. Do they still have those in CA? I think there was like 15 of them, tops when I lived there. I thought Whatburger was way over hyped. Decent but pricey. I agree though, Smash is near the top, I like their burger a lot. I haven't had Shake Shack yet. Croatoan posted:Whataburger > 5 Guys > Cookout > Wendys Of all of true fast food places, Wendy's has the best burger by far. In N Out doesn't quite suck, but they do a lot of things really wrong. Like, they are proud of that lovely WonderBread bun they serve! It's basically a really fresh version of a McDonalds burger.

The best burger is one grilled at home on delicious propane I tell you hwat e: oh wait I have actual content! I just got my brother's wedding catered. 15 of the 60 people had some kind of dietary need - vegetarian, vegan, no dairy, gf, all kinds. We're 45 minutes out of town, and food arrives just in time! The vegetarian fettuccine accidentally has chicken. Whatevs no big deal, lots of vegan options. Still, she offered to get someone to bring a replacement free of charge. 45 minutes later, it shows up... with like 5% of a normal amount of chicken. I guess they took a chicken batch and helpfully picked most of it out? I didn't even notice until, 5 minutes after it arrived, I announced "oh hey guys the vegetarian fettuccine is here!  Someone in the crowd: "uhh if you're very strict vegetarian, you should know..." Whoops! BrianBoitano fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Jul 9, 2017 |

Checkers burgers are meh but their fries are loving amazing. My only bitch about 5 Guys is that it's way overpriced. I mean, it's a good burger and all but it's expensive. Cookout is a super fast growing chain that you might recognize if you live in the south and their burgers are almost 5 Guys tier but they're like half the price. Also you can get a Cheerwine float and that rules.

I have never been to In-N-Out, but when visiting a friend in Seattle he brought me to Dick's Drive-In, saying they were as good as In-N-Out. I have to admit I wasn't impressed, but maybe it was because I was expecting something else entirely? When he described them as "awesome burgers" I was thinking more of a burger with the works. I guess I could give them a go again someday knowing what I'm in for.

BrianBoitano posted:The best burger is one grilled at home on delicious propane Oy. That sounds like a good time. Are you going after the food service provider, or did they not know, or...? In this vein, how did the guests respond? I ask because while I am not vegan or requiring any special diet, I do very much come from the 'eat what is served to you, or shut the gently caress up' school. I guess what I'm getting at is, were I vegetarian and a guest at someone else's function and served something, I'd simply set aside the meat (or other parts that I object to) and move on, even if it were a mistake. Were I not able to partake, I simply would not. If I had been told 'yes we will provide this for you' and they didn't, that'd be something else. I am not projecting this on the people at your event, but it seems like when you attend some one else's catered dinner where the choices are "Beef, fish, Veg", and you cross them all off and write in "I have special dietary needs and would like a specially selected..." then you can kinda gently caress right off with that mindset, and that seems fairly common now, and I dunno if I'm the pissy old grandpa or what.

Big Beef City posted:Oy. I mean my brother is a hippy dippy Oaklander and so were most of the guests, so the invite was clear that you could order whatever special snowflake thing you wanted and we'd figure it out. We are fine with the caterer. No ill will, no negative yelp review, they were great. Just some people don't understand what vegetarian really means to some folks  The guests were also chill about it. It was a buffet service, so nobody turned noses up at waiters or anything. The only person who mentioned it was the duder who noticed the little bits of chicken. I saw said duder still eating it, so I think he was just warning others who might have more strict diets/convictions.

I guess I could give them a go again someday knowing what I'm in for. I agree that Dick's is about as good as In-N-Out. Neither of them are somewhere you would go for a loaded burger that costs $10 and is a meal by itself, they're just very good cheap fast food burgers. Also keep in mind that nostalgia plays a large part here - if you grew up in Seattle, you'll think Dick's is the best burger, and if you grew up in California, you'll be an In-N-Out fan for life. Or at least it's more likely. SymmetryrtemmyS fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jul 9, 2017 |

The best commercial burgers are mcdoubles. They're cheap they taste the same at every store and they're not awful. Ok they are awful but not for the price. Grilled homemade burgers are clearly the best

Just heard a thing where ground beef is basically one of 38 clones of Holstein spent cow. How is it possible for any animal to be that inbred. I think the same source was saying that all cavendish bananas are genetically identical, which is ridiculous. Why would they do that. It'd take all of one disease to hit that they're susceptible to and you don't get bananas. Also it sucks when you go to sleep early because you're tired and then wake up at midnight. RIP, me.

I have no idea about the cows, but yes, cavendish bananas are all genetically identical. The old favorite banana variety, Gros Michel, was wiped out of the Americas by a blight, and is a good argument now for why genetic diversity is good, because if one banana plant is vulnerable to a disease, they're all vulnerable.
