Though the burgers are good, if I'm going to Five Guys it's for the cajun fries. Too many of them. Basically 80% of the bag the food comes in even though you ordered a small Did not know Dennys was in the UK but my time in Canada taught me that you should only be there at an unholy hour and an unholy level of intoxication. In that context it is delicious For other American chains that are here, I recommend Hooters in Nottingham, especially on the all you can eat wings day (Monday iirc)

five guys works in the US cos beef is cheap as gently caress so you get a fresh burger from freshly ground meat for not much more than mcdonalds/burger king frozen burgers and they're nicer. it doesn't work here because beef is so much more expensive that you're paying a lot more for still a mediocre burger

Medium and large only My favourite place to get a burger in the US was actually the local pizza place. They were so big you could cut it in half and share it and still be grossly full, and they were always just the best goddamn things lord I would go back to rural NJ for that poo poo

it seems that what 10-15 years ago some oval office decided that "a good burger is a tall burger" and since then everyone's been in a loving arms race to make the tallest, most irritating-to-eat burger imaginable. I never bother with burgers when I'm out and about because what you actually get is some ridiculous scooby-doo sandwich bullshit that you have to dislocate your jaw to fit your mouth around i've never been to five guys but i googled them and i wouldn't eat this if they paid me £13  have a go at mcdonalds all you want but at least they still actually make burgers

For some reason Chichester has one of the countries handful of Taco Bells so that's my go-to here. I've been watching a lot of Try Guys and Food Wars stuff and there's a lot I'd like to try when things open up. I like Five Guys a lot though, good buns for one thing, can't think of anywhere else where buns are worth remarking on in the positive. I save money by just not bothering with the fries, maybe get a shake instead. And I like the Coke Freestyle machines, although I think those are showing up in Burger Kings and cinemas now (remember cinemas?)

Thanks for the tip. *edit: mildly concerned their burgers lack onions and there's no option for onions. *edit2: I will say that if you ever go to Digbeth Dining Club, Flying Cows burgers are real good.

Ratjaculation posted:nandos has a okay veg option so I can't completely hate them, but lol at paying £12 for a burger and chips on a regular basis, and its not thrilling enough to be a special occasion meal The biggest nandos fan I know is vegetarian lol Iirc they were offering non poo poo veggie / gf / halal food way before most chain places so they became a very easy option if you needed to go somewhere with a big group

oh no computer posted:i've never been to five guys but i googled them and i wouldn't eat this if they paid me £13 At least that has a (hopefully lightly toasted) sesame seed bun. I'm fed up of being fobbed off with bloody brioche. Stuff doesn't belong around a burger. I'm sure they just push it on us because it has a longer shelf life.

oh no computer posted:i've never been to five guys but i googled them and i wouldn't eat this if they paid me £13 If you have no idea what you're talking about please refrain from joining the conversation, that picture is not representative at all of what five guys burgers are actually like, their doubles are still manageable to pick up and eat. If anything its the gastropubs serving ever more ridiculous stacks of 'burger' with huge amounts of poo poo piled up and only held together by the steak knife speared through the middle. BizarroAzrael posted:I save money by just not bothering with the fries, maybe get a shake instead. And I like the Coke Freestyle machines, although I think those are showing up in Burger Kings and cinemas now (remember cinemas?) So you think missing out on the absurd amounts of delicious fries, one of the main attractions of five guys, while filling up on liquid ice cream or buying diluted sugar syrup is somehow indicative of shrewd financial acumen?

I think there's a Denny's in Swansea, I saw some reviews and they seemed a very mixed bag. It's funny, I've lived in the states for more than 4 years but never been to Wendys or Dennys or half the other chain places. I don't care for American breakfasts much (beyond hash browns, they're so good) which probably defeats half the choices for me. I quite like the regional chains you get here, and will usually try them when visting new states. Varsity (very much not the UK one if that awful place still exists), Bojangles, Raisin Cains, PDQ etc. Always fun.

I remember going to the Handmade Burger Company one time, the menu was like 40 burgers long which is cool but only one of them had something other than mayo on it. Quite literally the only burger that didn't was the loving Indian themed burger. Your menu is thick with dozens of burgers and you put mayo on virtually every single one? Why?

Mayo is the only condiment I like on a burger. You can ask them to leave it off!

There was a place called Varsity I went to in Stirling over a decade ago that was very terrible, dunno if it's the same awful thing you're thinking of. You could get a big bowl of chips or a baked potato and lots of different toppings for your like egg, beans, chilli etc. But the toppings included mashed potato so if you really wanted, you could potato with potato on it for some reason.

Sounds like the place, looks like it went under in 2013 which is about when I started working from home so wouldn't have ended up in there after work, which would usually be the first in the long list of that evening's regrets.

killerwhat posted:You can ask them to leave it off! Aye but the point is they only offered one burger with anything different on the menu which seems completely loving insane to me. Me sat there ordering food asking the waiter if they have absolutely anything other than mayo and him looking at me like mayo is the only condiment the world has ever known and I'm a lunatic for even questioning it. Anyway, on burger discourse look at this poo poo. https://twitter.com/InsiderFood/status/1318824513002405888?s=20

You can just ask for them not to put mayo on the one you want Though maybe the mayo heavy menu was their downfall? I think they're all closed
