Micro waved beef is never good tasting.
We ate out on a regular basis when we were both working. After retirement, got “America’s Test Kitchen” cookbook. Rarely if ever eat out now. Restaurant-quality taste, proper sanitation, and you can have a lot more nice meals at home for the same amount of money.
Unfortunately, what you need most is the time to cook and the time to clean up.
In and Out Burgers are #1 far and away the best in the country other than home made. Too bad they are mostly in CA with a few in NV and AZ
Nights in White Castle
I’m drunk once again
Sliders I’m eatin’
With all of my drunken friends
The bars are all closed now
There’s nowhere else left to go
But what’s in these wrapped burgers
I really don’t want to know
‘Cause I love them
Yes, I love them
Oh, how I love them
Nights in White Castle
Now it’s a quarter to 4
But I ain’t goin’ home now
‘Cause I’m still lookin’ to score
How I love these gut busters
With their little square buns
But I know I’ll get heartburn
And a bad case of the runs
But I love them
Yes, I love them
Oh, how I love them
Ohhh...
I usually avoid chain restaurants and greasy spoons and stick to mom and pop places. Better food, better servings, less attention spent to stupid decorations and old junk hanging on the walls for “atmosphere”.
For me, it’s Numbero Uno pizza and when it comes
to burgers, it’s In-n-Out.
Not sure if its still there...
Thought I read somewhere that McD’s no longer uses beef raised in the U.S. Texas doesn’t seem to have the same assortment of hamburger places as the west coast. We do have Wendy’s which has an okay $.99 junior bacon cheeseburger and Whataburger which serves U.S. beef, has a picture of American flag in their window with the words “God Bless America”, ours are locally owned, they do not hire illegals or employees who can’t pronounce onions correctly, and they support the troops. Chili’s used to have great burgers but not so much anymore IMO.
they just didn’t taste right—————
This post was a waste of time.
But it’s not really about the post, it’s about the psychological deception, or propaganda of it.
I was just recently informed by someone who worked at McDonald’s that the little onions they put on the burgers actually arrive there hard and dry, and they have to soak them in water!
65 posts in and not one mention of Culver’s??? Double Butter Burger basket with the works. Followed by a concrete mixer. Won’t touch BK or McD’s. Sliders only on special drinking occasions....

“Especially McDonalds — It’s like I was eating a meat substitute “
It’s the seaweed
My theory is that the pizza places are skimping on the olive oil, or using a poor grade, or not using any at all.
Hut’s Hamburgers in Austin is my ONLY choice for a burger....
If I’m out west it’s In-Out.
If I’m in the Northeast it’s White Castle..
They just replaced a Mcdonalds up the street with a brand new one.
I’d go once in a while for my McD’s fix but, the last 3 times there sucked.
First it was the mushy burger that tasted like crap, then it was the chicken sandwich that felt like it was made from rubber to the egg McMuffin that i had a few weeks ago.
It tasted like crap and how does one screw up a egg McMuffin?
Reading a few months ago on how a mcd’s burger is 10% former dog food scrap meat that was infused with ammonia to kill the germs didn’t help either.
A chef I think at the Four Seasons used to make a special burger for someone important. A reviewer got the chef to show him how he did it.
The chef took a prime dry-aged club steak out of the refrigerator, put it through the meat grinder, shaped it into a hamburger, threw it on the hot grill, and said, “Any questions?”
The best pizza in my area is from a non chain, locally owned shop, and they deliver here:). The best burgers are usually small, locally owned burger joints, however, I do like In and Out burgers. The absolutely best burger I ever had was in a small place in a small town just south(or maybe just north, it has been a long time)of Bakersfield. We used to have to locally owned places in this area that made great burgers, not down to one, due to the influx of McDs and Burger King, which can’t compare in flavor to the one locally owned burger place but are cheaper and faster. I opt for flavor over speed and cost:)
If everybody had the same perfect culinary discernment skills that I do the line would away be too long at my favorite. restaurant. I am not going to tell you all what restaurant are best because I don’t want you in line in front of me. I have discovered some generic guide lines to judge restaurants with out tasting the food.
If you want a good pizza look for a older building. Most good pizza places will be darker inside and have wine bottle hanging from the ceiling that will fall off and hit you in the head during an earthquake.
Hamburgers joints are a little bit harder. You need to understand early childhood psychology to fully comprehend why some people enjoy McDonald’s type burgers while others must have a Fuddruckers or some other “gourmet” burger. There are a few, the Chuck Norris type that need to kill the cow themselves but that is a whole different thread.
To make it simple we can all agree that it is a privilege to live here in America where we still have are choice of hamburgers. We can all agree that this freedom is being challenged and could be limited by the current regime in the white house. We can still gather together and protest this current regime eating are wide choice of burgers and only in the back of our minds thinking “How can anybody eat what that guy calls a hamburger.
If you run across one, try it out.
