there is something intensely satisfying about growing tomatoes but I cannot stand anything about the sensory experience of eating them
while i assume my experience was because the one day we ate there i had the worst migraine so i was not in the enjoy a thing mood also at least in the dmv area they're TOO EXPENSIVE for what they are.
The one thing I know about Five Guys is that they became a meme on French Twitter for a few days when they opened one in Paris, precisely because their food sucked and would have been overpriced even if it didn't.
I remember when White Castle opened up down here years ago and everyone lost their fucking minds trying to eat there. There was like hour long lines and it was waaay overpriced for basically very little food. Plus it was nasty as hell, and lukewarm
I have basically no chain burger allegiance, but I will eat anything and everything on my burger. Favorite topping combo: fried egg, mayo, bacon, sharp cheddar, breakfast style mushrooms. If I have the choice of getting fried egg on my burger, I will opt for it at all times. On a related note what's the one common condiment you hate the most? Mine is hands down ketchup, mostly because I actually like it in reasonable amounts but everyone feels the need to put it in excessive quantities on everything that comes with ketchup and then my mouth hurts and it's Too Sweet.
I keep growing tomatoes in the hopes of finding one I like to eat and also because fresh homemade tomato soup is fucking incredible
SECONDING RANCH. Mayo, in the right places, works. Ranch, even in the right places, could be better served by pretty much anything.
All of them Mayonnaise is debatably acceptable in tuna salad but the others are USELESS BAD-TEXTURE SLIME
I honestly can't think of a burger topping I hate. I've even found ways for me to like relish (usually when mixed into some other sauce). And I've had a weird assortment and array of veggies on them that I've liked. Really, if I hate toppings it's more exclusive to like this one particular experience. Like I don't like lots of relish and relish that isn't mixed into like a mayo and ketchup based sauce or how there've been tomatoes I've hated on burgers because the tomatoes weren't good ones. But I don't exclusively hate those things in all cases.
I really don't get why people like burgers so much. Like, I'll eat them, but I don't really love them you know. Same with steak tbh. Although I will order a burger in a restaurant, and won't order a steak unless the rest of the options on the menu are some kind of seafood.
- holdable (varies) - sometimes less expensive - m e a t - often a "safe" choice depending on various factors (comfort with food, ability to eat various substances, easier to request changes like no tomato) - comforting, not too highbrow (varies) - comes with fries
MEAT of the red variety often greasy as fuck good with fries and soda GREASY AS FUCK SAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUCE Steak appeal meanwhile is MEAT OF THE RED VARIETY. JUICY WONDER. RARE. VERY RARE. AMERICA MIGHT CONSIDER THIS ILLEGAL TO SERVE LEVELS OF RARE. SAVORY TASTY JUICY MEATS.
No need for forks, spoons, knives, or even proper plates if you're making them at home. The perfect food for quick and easy cleanup. Also it's pretty versatile. I like most cooked sandwiches anyhow, but burgers in specialty joints tend to get more exciting with their prep than they are at Regular Joe All Around Restaurant. (Personally I also tend to prefer seafood, unless the prep is just "we did a lemon and seared it ur welcome", at which point I look for steak on the menu instead. Lemon and fish might go fantastic together, but I hate it, and I'll take the hefty taste of medium-rare steak instead. I don't spring for burgers on the menu if it's not a Burger Joint though, because 10:1 I'll be disappointed.)
