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.
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.
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
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.
Not in my opinion; for me its always the shabby looking shacks that have the best burgers. Mostly were the locals go
Bison is worth the price tag for sure. These places only pretend to have that kind of power.
I lived near a bison farm for a while, bison meat is just amazing, much juicier than beef.
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.

They have one here! I just subbed to it! All we need is wewantcups.
But where else do I get my malt vinegar fix?
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.
The most mediocre dining experience (for the money) I’ve ever had was at a restaurant called “Smallwares.” Emphasis on small, it turns out. Case in point, we ordered duck breast, which cost a fair bit. I was picturing at least a fair amount, but it was the smallest smidgen slivered up with a dollop of sauce. It was the same with every dish, high prices for not much food.
Sure there were other places that had worse food. One remote dinner lacked any fresh food, but you can’t really help that when you’re in the middle of nowhere. But never have I felt like I was being fed by Famine from Good Omens.
Worst place I ate brought the raw burger to you next to a boiling hot slab of rock. I was expected to cook my own burger the way I liked it. Well fuck you, I’m paying you to cook my meal. Plus it just seemed disgusting to have raw meat at the table anyway
Is this like American hot pot?
Australian hot pot, you have to catch the sheep yourself.
It’s not a restaurant but the sheep looks kinda hot.
And the opposite of this, if the menu is plain text and pictures of food that were taken with a digital camera from 2009 then its going to be fantastic
Burger place with yellowed ceiling tiles and a laminated menu? That shit is gonna be good.
Because these places are passionate about food. The fancy ones are passionate about money and profit. I see it all over California, it’s absolutely true.
The only good thing is that most of those places have some sort of black bean or veggie burger.
I’ve tried a lot of these veggie burgers and tbh at least where I’m from most of the time they kinda suck. I’ve had a few really really good ones but mostly they tasted mid.
It’s the most hit or miss thing I can get as a vegan. It’s either a really great in-house, well seasoned patty. Or just a morning star frozen thing with grease as it’s only seasoning.
And even then, you need to ask if it contains egg.
It can be hit and miss from my experience as well. We have a bar and grill place that has a black bean burger and the fucking patty is 1/2 lb and an inch thick. The burger tastes good but it’s way too much bean and it ends up being a chore to eat. We have a fast food place that has a black bean burger that is pretty thin but you get a lot of veggies on it and it is all pretty balanced. We have a local hipstery joint similar to the meme posted that has amazing food all around but they have a beyond burger and a black bean burger and it’s actually nice to have that option but they also always have like 3 other vegan options.
I agree on most of them being kinda mediocre but at least I can always get something when my friends are in the mood for burgers.

And a beard.
Described like half of all restaurants.
SED PORTTITOR
Seen this meme tons of times and I never noticed the menu was lorem ipsum
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.
look. imagine a place where the burger is not native. where the best burger you can hope for is… adequate.
imagine, if you will, a country shaped like a schnitzel.
in the twilight zone.
