the hamburger thread

big macs taste sticky. whoppers taste good once in a while. in-n-out burgers sometimes aren't cooked all the way.

probably the more generic a burger is the better it tastes.

at In-N-Out, you can tell them to cook your burger well done. otherwise, they'll cook it normally.. medium rare.

so far, i think the better tasting hamburgers are from In-N-Out and Fatburger.

the best burger i have ever had was at the Prairie hotel in parachilna, about a six hour drive just before the flinders ranges in the north of my state.

kangaroo burger with quandong chutney, salad, bacon, egg, chips...

goddam it was good. in fact it's almost good enough to make the trip for that alone.

you can land your plane out the front if you ok it with the owners first.



edit>> if anyone ever comes to visit me, i'll take you on a roadtrip there and shout you a burger [or whatever takes your fancy]..

ahhhh mama has been on a burger mission....we make our own!

good assed ground beef, i dig on the sirloin tip. i know that most people would mix at least two different kinds of beef, but i'm low maintenance....

homemade baked french fries, always good. tat's cut up, washed, skin ON, steak fry style is the best. i use a little olive oil, salt n' pepper.* cajun seasoning, if you like them spicy!*.

try this at home, it's better than spending the bucks out.

we just had an In-N-Out finally open here after much anticipation, I still haven't eaten there because even after a month of being open the lines are ridiculously long. The drive-thru is at least 30 cars long all wrapped around the building and forget about parking anywhere nearby to go inside. christ. I live in such a hick town. We had a parade (complete with elephant and marching band!) when KrispyKreme opened.

My mom used to go a bit crazy with her hamburgers, seasoning the fuck out of it. To this day I prefer my burger meat to be without any seasoning or spices, just fresh ground beef fried on a flat steel grill. I don't like flame broiled either.

I'm watching Sixteen Candles. It's really good. I feel all warm and shit.

Jumbo Jack extra messy with no pickle and tomato is the way to go.

Double Doubles also rock. Either plain with gobs of ketchup or full-on with no onions.

You also gan't go wrong with restaurant burgers, particularly BBQ joint burgers.

Fuck a 6 dollar burger though. Nasty. Carls Jr. makes my ass leak.

I've never eaten at Fatburger.

as a certified expert in hamburgers,

pie n burger is the best burger i've ever had.

father's office is pretty good even if it's froofy.

of the fast food places, fatburger is the best, in n out is 2nd.

i have a whole blog dedicated to this, though, i haven't updated it in a while.

the bay needs to represent

best burger: burger joint. there's 2. one on valencia and like 20th or so. and another on haight across the street from the greatest record store on earth. GROOVE MERCHANT

nations is alright too, but of a lower quality than burger joint.

quik-way. only if youre 1. drunk, 2. starving, 3. gangsta as fuck

there was this 1/4 burger on mac and something like high st or so, i dont remember. but dude used to sell crack out the joint. one day the cops raided the stand so dude stashed his crack in a hamburger and served it to some sad sap that got zooted off that shit. the hospital traced it back to the 1/4 burger and its been known as crack burger ever since. i have a picture of myself eating a burger in front of it somewheres...
