@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

If ham on a burger is good, pastrami on a buger is as near orgasmic as I could want my food to be.



PASTRAMI on a BURGER?????  That is SO WRONG.

Only in Utah would they think that is a good idea and I speak as a New Yorker whose maternal relations all live in and around Salt Lake City.  I am therefore qualified to discuss pastrami, and I also thank heaven every day that my mother married an Italian and learned to cook real food before I was born so I know whereof I speak.

It's not your fault, sj.  Obviously you fell in with a bad crowd at a tender and impressionable age.  Everyone is entitled to long for the tragic things they ate as a child.  But oh... the horror.

Quote from: "andalucia"

Well, that's just appalling.  I was stricken with an attack of "Can they DO that??" upon reading that post.


I thought that about both the ham and the mixing of mayo and ketchup!
Why, Lord, why?

My perfect burger -
Lots of mayo
tomato
lettuce
burger
bun
That's pretty much it.
I'll have other styles sometimes, but I am a mayo addict, and to taint it with other things just doesn't work for me.

With all due respect, Carlos, you probably got somebody's LiveJournal nastygram of the day -- and you may very well have deserved it.


Well, this was about 1987, so it was before the days of LiveJournal.

And she literally opened a bag and put them in the fryer.  It took, like, three minutes.

I know food service can be a pain in the ass, but this was just a lazy-ass high school chick.

Meanwhile, all this burger talk is making me hungry.  Anyone ever been to Five Guys in the greater DC area?  Mmmmmmmm.... burger.

I'm not claiming that Crown Burgers are 'real food', or even 'good food' for that matter, and most of the time I'd rather eat my own cooking than any fast-food crap.  But there is still nothing like a Crown Burger.  I can't believe there are (meat-eating) people who don't love this idea, and don't want one right now.

I thought we were supposed to be connoisseurs in this group.  Were starting to sound like a bunch of fast food munching slobs up in here.

Purely by coincidence yesterday I crossed paths with one of the only two Roy Rogers in Houston.  They are both long gone now.  One has become a bbq joint and the other one, the one I passed yesterday has become a head shop.  Houston 420 it's now called.  I think I ate there once.

Never heard of it.

The other thing is that I see a lot of TV ads for Checkers and for Sonic but have never actually seen either of those two places. Just ads.

Friends in LA speak of In-and-Out in glowing terms.  Alas, we don't have them 'round here, and I have never had the opportunity to visit one.

In-N-Out gets much love, but unfortunately has no chains further west than Mesa, AZ.  

But if I'm going to recall my Southern California fast food favorites, I'd definitely have to put Tommy's on the top of my list.  They put this greasy chili on everything.  Chili Burgers, to Chili Fries, to Chili Bacon Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches.

Stellar...  Truly stellar...

CA: Ooo, lookit us with our In-N-Out Burgers and our Blue Ribbon mayo! La la la!

East Coast: Well we have . . . um, Utz and Hellman's! And more minor earthquakes! Word.

Which reminds me, I know Popeye's are rare above the M-D Line but how far west do they reach?

It does get plenty of love here in the Southland, although not as much from me lately, owing to the factor mentioned earlier in this thread.  A Double-Double is a thing of beauty, especially with grilled onions.

I have friends who have sworn by Tommy's for years, but I avoid them like the plague.  I don't like my vittles buried in chili - except for the chili cheese fries at Johnny Rocket's.

The best cheeseburger out here could be found at the Sunset Grill, a hole-in-the-wall next to the Hollywood Guitar Center.  There was this little old German guy who just knew what to do with a patty and a slice of cheese.  (Don Henley tried to turn the place into a metaphor for American malaise, but it didn't affect the quality of the burgers.) Alas, the guy died a few years ago and they tried to turn it into a respectable establishment, with lousy results.

I'm an editing fool!!

In-N-Out is fuck*ng wonderful. I've only ever been to the one in Vegas, though - the first time as a Big Lebowski inspired lark, and the second as a this may be the last time I ever ever get to have one of these motherfuck*ng life changing burgers. Good Lord how do they do it

I can't think of any franchises that make Texas special, apart from the fact that every month is Truck Month, which surely counts for something in a non-edible way.

Also - and I have no idea where I originally came up with this - but I was under the impression that Roy Rogers and Arby's were one and the same, having a sort of Exxon / Esso relationship. Perhaps I am just retarded.
