If I want fries it’s either Five Guys for their cajun fries or Penn Station East Coast Subs for the best fries... ever.

Penn Station fries: Cut potatoes with 3/8" dicer. Blanch in oil @ 300 degrees F for 5-6 minutes. Cool. Fry again at 350 degrees F for 2-3 minutes. Salt liberally. Serve immediately.

Waffle and Crinkle cut are good and Penn Station has good fast food fries. Basically what you do is to low boil them for a bit, then put in fridge, then low fry them for first pass, then let rest then high temp fry them for final pass. The point of boiling them a bit is to create texture on the surface for crisp. Do it right and they’re delicate and kind of fall aparty. Hence why Crinkle cut and Waffle are usually so good, more crisp surface texture.

If you google Penn Station fries and take a close look at some of the images you will notice their surface is just a bit more textured than the more straight level Five Guys fries in most pics. Gives that edge.

I'll almost always choose onion rings over fries when I'm having a good burg. Any other onion ring aficionados? My favorite kind is beer-battered. No panko or tempura bullshit rings for me, and if they're too thick, too greasy, or the breading just slides off, that is not okay.

Onion straws. The shape requires them to be cut far skinnier than rings, and they're always close-breaded rather than those hulking bastards that an onion just slips out of and you have just a ring left. P.J. Clarke's does the best, but they're a go to pretty much wherever they're found.

The problem with In n out is their fries massively drop in quality the longer you wait.

True for every kind of potato delivery system except the noble pierogi.

Also don't order fries at culver at all. Substitute cheese curds.

Yeah, Culver's actually makes great onion rings, and of course the cheese curds are tops. I like their burgers, but sometimes they come out on the dry side for me. I'm sure that pretzel burger is better than the basic one. And they have a great house root beer, if you don't feel like frozen custard (or even if you do). I'm a root beer connoisseur, so I'll always get it when there's an option other than Barq's (Coke) or Mug (Pepsi).

Not Culver's, but another Wisconsin-style butter burger with an added egg.

Delicious but a tad under-seasoned and the egg was overcooked but still a great burg.

Had a bad burg experience this weekend. Ordered medium, took forever to come out, was well well well done. Was way too hungry to send it back and wait for another one so I ate it and didn't enjoy it. What a waste.

I always like when going to a chain steak place and you ask for medium-rare or whatever. Then you get the mini-lecture on what color to expect and if that is ok...as in "Are you really sure what the hell you're ordering?" Then when delivered it looks like a piece of horse carcass that has been doused in gasoline and set on fire.

Burgers are about the same way. I understand the liability issue...but geesus. At least flash a little pink in my burg.

Every time I ask for med-rare, I get a mushy ball of hamburger, and it's gross.

All I want is a nice crust on the outside, but pink on the inside. :sigh:

Yeah, guess my post came across wrong depending how you read it...

1) I wouldn't order a medium-rare burger (and it would be somewhat difficult to do). But I order medium-rare steaks.

2) A lot of places overcook.

Personal preference. In short, burg and live life no matter what you want. I won't judge.

I usually order my burgs medium because I do not trust anyone enough to not murder my balls with salmonella. It's good enough. A proper burg relies on its teammates to truly shine, anyway.

You cannot get salmonella from undercooked beef unless some chucklefuck stores the raw poultry directly above it.

E. coli and norovirus, on the other hand...

The solution, as always, is to get burgers with thin patties. If you need more meat, add more patties.
