Who wants a good burger?

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    I'd eat that, but I put mine together differently same basic veggies they list, but my sauce is mayo & mustard on both buns, then pickels, onions, burger, cheese slice (melted on patty) tomato, lettuce top bun and I season the meat before grilling with salt, pepper, garlic pepper, garlic power, onion powder and season salt.

    I'm like the former Dano - no need to add dozens of condiments to a good burger. I like to taste the meat.

  • redhawkk480redhawkk480 Member Posts: 2,533 ✭✭✭✭

    Just slap some cheese on it, toast the buns a bit, and get rid of all the red in the meat. Give me some ketchup and I'm good to go.


    👍️👍️sounds good

    Looks good and I'm planning on going to Houston this fall but The Annie is pretty pricey for me. I better start saving now. 😋

    Subway is the last resort, just barely will tur- up.😕

  • cbxjeffcbxjeff Member Posts: 17,641 ✭✭✭✭

    I had my first sub in '64. There was a sub shop very close to the main gate of Ft. Monmouth, NJ. I had never heard of a sub sandwich until then. I've had them many places in many states since. Some are better than others. We have Subway in the Indy area and I go there now & then. I like a foot long BMT. I tell them to put everything on it except pickle plus vinegar & oil dressing. About 2 years ago I ordered one and the young girl asked me at every condiment if I wanted that and I told her "everything except pickle" about 6 times and then walked out empty handed. I went to Penn Station a few blocks away and one thing there is that they have fries. I'm getting hungry just posting this.

    My favorite food in the whole world, is she who shall be obeyed's home cooking.


    Simply amazing. Been eating it since 1988.

    Me, on death row, for my last meal, would beg for her cooking.


    I don't eat fast food. Mamma makes me a bologna sandwich; etc, instead. And it's always amazing.

    Mr. Perfect, Sometimes I miss that guy - if only for his entertainment value. 😄

    I like burgers

  • BrookwoodBrookwood Member, Moderator Posts: 13,768 ******

    As for burgers I prefer using thick sliced grilled buttered sourdough bread instead of buns. I also learned a long time ago that cheese on a burger is nearly tasteless (for me anyway) so I skip the cheese. I do like onions but I like them fried along side the burger in the grease. A slap of Miracle Whip and a dill pickle ON THE SIDE and I am a happy camper. When fresh tomato's are in season out of my garden they are also enjoyed on my burger sandwich!


    My wife says I'm high maintenance when it comes to food.

  • Rocky RaabRocky Raab Member Posts: 14,503 ✭✭✭✭

    I'm a simple burger guy, also. I want a quarter pound of good quality ground beef, nice grill marks, just pink inside, no added spices except S&P. A proper bun and ketchup. Sometimes a slice of cheese, sometimes not. Lettuce and in-season tomato. Slice of Vidalia onion if I can get 'em.

    For a fast food burger, I like the Carl's Famous Star - it's as close to the above as I've found.

    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Okay, show of hands.... who is going to Honolulu in the next year or so?

    Go down Kalakaua toward Diamond Head and just past the Duke statue turn left up Kapiolani blvd. Go slow, it's about 100 yards on the left.

    Find a place to park (go around back of the Queen Kapiolani) and walk in to..... (start heavenly music)

    

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️  Teddy's Burgers ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️


    I don't have to recommend a burger. Pick anything off the menu, get the biggest patty they make and prepare yourself. You're about to enter heaven. Get LOTS of napkins.

  • Rocky RaabRocky Raab Member Posts: 14,503 ✭✭✭✭

    I'm fairly sure that's where I had moko loko a few years back. I may still be carrying a pound or two from that one meal...

  • Nanuq907Nanuq907 Member Posts: 2,551 ✭✭✭✭


    Yep, I still have grease on my elbows from the juices running down my forearms. I used to lose 10 lbs every time we went to Hawaii, until I discovered Teddy's.

  • Butchdog2Butchdog2 Member Posts: 3,834 ✭✭✭✭

    Moron, I resemble that remark, Hamburger must have, cheese, lettuce,mayo, onion, slaw and yes like a good hot dog, catsoup.

    Medium rare and if the slather don't run to at least half way down your arms it ain't fit to eat.

    Never order a hamburger "all the way" in the piedmont of NC, bun, burger, and chili, only, yuck.

    Now take that.🙃

  • asopasop Member Posts: 9,023 ✭✭✭✭

    I remember .15 burgers at McDonalds.

  • Rocky RaabRocky Raab Member Posts: 14,503 ✭✭✭✭

    asop, a small burger and fries with a drink were 88 cents. If you wanted a lava-hot apple turnover, that would be take your 12 cents change from a buck. You learned to never bite into the fried apple turnover for at least 15 minutes or you'd incinerate your tongue - and nobody sued McD's because of it, either.

    40 years ago I was out of town on a construction job and we found this little joint in Sutherlin, OR called, I kid you not, The Do Drop Inn. Best bacon/egg/cheeseburger I've ever had in my life. It was at least a 1/2 pound patty, 4 thick slices of peppered bacon, 2 fried eggs (over easy, of course!) and your choice of cheese. I went with pepperjack. There must've been 10 large Russets worth of French fries on the plate, too. I was so stuffed after eating that thing I could barely get my tool bags on to go back to work. Food coma!

  • Nanuq907Nanuq907 Member Posts: 2,551 ✭✭✭✭

    You people and your pathetic 1/2 lb burgers. We were on a business trip to Oklahoma and heard about the Meers Burgers way out in the middle of nowhere. So we spent most of a Saturday trying to find it, and succeeded. For the love of all that’s holy, it was worth the search. They fill a pie pan and they taste as good as they look. Apologies in advance for the meat sweats, you’ve been warned.


  • BrookwoodBrookwood Member, Moderator Posts: 13,768 ******

    I once lived a short distance from a Peppy's joint and was enamored with their specialty burger known as "The Monster". Must have been at least 3\4 pounder with a huge bun. I could grab one on the way to work (afternoon shift), eat until full at lunchtime and have enough left to satisfy the meat part of my dinner.


    They were very tasty burgers but I gave them up when I came down with a very bad case of Montezuma's Revenge a good 2 years or so of being a loyal customer.

  • BobJudyBobJudy Member Posts: 6,674 ✭✭✭✭

    Kinda puny, but it looks good. If you are ever in Michigan, with about a hundred friends, try this one;


    Absolutely Ridiculous Burger – Southgate, Michigan - Gastro Obscura (atlasobscura.com)

    Can't say I ever have but their more normal size 1/2 pounders are pretty good. Bob

  • Mr. PerfectMr. Perfect Member, Moderator Posts: 66,437 ******

    That looks nothing like a burger. Try Effie's in Lewiston Idaho. Letgit big burgers.

    The original (as in late 1960s) Whattaburgers were that size. They ordered special "Buick hubcap" sized buns and they filled them to the edge with meat. Times change, and today's Whattaburgers are not that huge - but they're still damn good. I dote on their Jalapeno double cheese combo and it's probably a good thing for my heart that I get into Whattaburger country only about once a year!

  • Ruger4meRuger4me Member, Moderator Posts: 3,864 ******

    +1 for culvers butter burger and my weekly (almost) whatabuger junior with double patty and cheese! As for going back in time, when the first McDonalds arrived in Ventura, CA burgers were 15 cents IIRC and when they introduced the Big Mac you could get it with small fries and a shake for a buck.

  • BrookwoodBrookwood Member, Moderator Posts: 13,768 ******

    Speaking about the HOT fruit pies that McDonalds used to sell back in the day, those pies were deep fat fried not baked like the ones you get now. They were 100% better tasting too if you had the patience to let them cool down a bit. Probably not as healthy but hey! Most things that taste GREAT are never on the healthy list anyway!

  • Nanuq907Nanuq907 Member Posts: 2,551 ✭✭✭✭

    That's it, I'm in love with the Absolutely Ridiculous Burger. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Someone please tell Ms. Nanuq that I left for a better set of buns.

    And duck when you say it! 🤣

  • cbxjeffcbxjeff Member Posts: 17,641 ✭✭✭✭

    BobJudy, Can you order extra cheese on that ARB? 😉

    It's too late for me, save yourself.
  • BobJudyBobJudy Member Posts: 6,674 ✭✭✭✭

    Holy smokes! 36# of cheese ain't enough for you? 😁 Maybe if they could add 10# of jalapenos that would be the only addition I'd want. Bob
