I get concept burgers but 99% of the time those things are just too much and get in the way.

I think burger makers treat consumers like children. "Just stack it up real high. Make it colorful. They'll like that."

Anything that ain't just
Meat
Bun
Cheese
Lettuce
Tomato
Onions
Pickles
Mushroom
Bacon

Maybe egg and avocado can be allowed without making it seem like, "they are just doing too much."

When people tell me they don't like fries from In-N-Out or Five Guys, I can't help but wonder if they're so used to processed and/or frozen food that they just don't like the taste of freshly prepared food. Very literally, the fries you eat from In-N-Out or Five Guys were real potatoes 5 minutes prior to you eating them. They literally cut them right there in the store, fry them, and give them to you.

-foe

I gotta tell you Ska, the description of Five Guy’s fries sounded incredible to me before I tried them. I thought they were going to be the best fries I ever had, until I tasted them and found them to be just ok.

How the he’ll did mushrooms make the cut on that list?

If this was brought about cause of the Shack Stack well then technically it fits this “classic” burger ingredients list.

It's common enough.

You eat more burgers than me.

What would you add/remove?

Legit asking.

Here in CA I give avocado a pass. We throw avocado on damn near anything as a standard variation.

But all them PB&J burgers and other nonsense I feel you. Never cared for em.

If your standard double cheeseburger don’t smack, I don’t want nothin from ya

Whichever burger had the fried portable on there.

This is getting too personal.

I am terminating this conversation.

Portabella? Well it is a mushroom.

Yea I was calling regular cut mushrooms as passable.

Their date seems to be going fine. I sense great chemistry between the two.

What the problem is?

I always end up disappointed with most of those 2 ft burgers.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Yeah, I don’t want to have to be able to unhinge my jaw to get a full bite of a burger. Big Mac height is about my limit.

I’m guessing because she can’t use chopsticks. But it’s weird that someone sat and recorded that

 

[DeadsetAce]

not to mention half of the insides falls out when you bite into those crazy burgers

 

[mplsdunk]

My fries always turned out best boiled vs double fried.

Cut

Boil with vinegar and lots of salt

Shock and store them until ready to eat

Fry them and eat

Never had In N Out let alone their fries.

5 Guys fries are real good though. Hoping the comparison is off.

 

[lawdog1]

lawdog1 Do you like Big Macs? Rating? (Out of eight, please? )

I don't currently eat meat, but from when I still was, I'd give the Big Mac a 6.25. I was more of a Quarter-Pounder with Cheese guy.

IMO

5 Guys can’t be compared to In n Out due to price brackets.

I get a whole meal from In n Out for far less than 5 Guys.

5 Guys should be compared to restaurant burgers because of the price, and in that event they’re a great “greasy burger” with good fries.

Overall, balanced comparison between the two with respects due to price / quality / consistency, I tip the hat to In n Out overall.

 

[mplsdunk]

I think Freddy’s is closest to in n out.

I don’t know what states have them besides mn though.
