    I'll have the burger whose contents are stacked too high to eat comfortably and spill out when you try to bite it, please

      at the point where your cutlery becomes necessary to eat your burger unless you pig-trough it you have failed at making a burger

    The best burgers are found in places that look like you have to bribe a health official to get a barely passing grade

      I've tried a lot of these veggie burgers and tbh at least where I'm from most of the time they kinda suck. I've had a few really really good ones but mostly they tasted mid.

        I agree on most of them being kinda mediocre but at least I can always get something when my friends are in the mood for burgers.

        It can be hit and miss from my experience as well. We have a bar and grill place that has a black bean burger and the fucking patty is 1/2 lb and an inch thick. The burger tastes good but it's way too much bean and it ends up being a chore to eat. We have a fast food place that has a black bean burger that is pretty thin but you get a lot of veggies on it and it is all pretty balanced. We have a local hipstery joint similar to the meme posted that has amazing food all around but they have a beyond burger and a black bean burger and it's actually nice to have that option but they also always have like 3 other vegan options.

        It's the most hit or miss thing I can get as a vegan. It's either a really great in-house, well seasoned patty. Or just a morning star frozen thing with grease as it's only seasoning.

        Since the rise of Impossible/Beyond those are the only veggie burgers I can stand. If I want beans then I'll order beans, ya know?

    And the opposite of this, if the menu is plain text and pictures of food that were taken with a digital camera from 2009 then its going to be fantastic

    Facts. We have a burger place like this that people love for some reason, but I swear they most the mid-quality burgers for $20+. It's crazy that people keep going there, imo.

      A few years ago I would immediatly leave if I saw a burger for more than $15 on a menu regardless of how many unnecessary toppings they had one it.

      Now it costs more than that for a plain cheeseburger with a 6 Oz patty.

      Idk how anybody is still eating out we can take the money we'd spend on a meal in a restaurant and cook something that's better quality and we have leftovers for 2 days. The only benefits off eating out are to get cheap slop you would feel bad about cooking for yourself.

        I eat out or uber eat if I'm too exhausted to do cooking from work. Or if I tried to do a bulk cook and by day 2 of eating it my brain just says no. Apparently I will just starve instead of eating the same thing

    Copy + paste small business tyrant investment. Like a ghost kitchen. They all just copy each other because it returns a consistent profit.

    There is probably some kind if grotesque item in the menu as a "draw", too. The Tower of Cheese. The Bacon Bun. The [town name] challenge, a dish made of 34 kinds of flesh. Get in here, techbros! Get your grub.

    look. imagine a place where the burger is not native. where the best burger you can hope for is... adequate.

    imagine, if you will, a country shaped like a schnitzel.

    in the twilight zone.

    Bar around the corner of my house is like this. I've never been because they're across the street from a hole in the wall Japanese place that is really, really good, so whenever I'm walking out of my house to eat that's where I go.

    I wouldn't judge a book by its cover. Following aesthetic trends is just being savvy, it's not necessarily compensating for something.
