Dang! That looks good, never heard of that chain, great price.

I would live to try that Australian burger with beetroot and pineapple. Sounds intresting

 

[Jovidah]

pineapple and beet, what da funk!!??

I don't get beet either but pineapple is really nice... I've been doing it for years. Simple burger, cheese, bacon, pineapple...it just works.

I do not understand the desire to turn a cheeseburger into a smorgasbord, rivaling the most excessive Bloody Mary abominations. If I have to retrofit structural support to my handheld sandwich, there's a real problem.

I don't (necessarily) mind having to unhinge my jaw like a particularly hirsute python to take a bite of a very tasty pub style burger, but having to watch an egg, six pieces of bacon, half an avocado, some brisket, five tomatoes, thirty pickles, some pulled pork, an unagi fritter, and BoH Brad's ****ing beard tamer slide out the side is just beyond the pale.

A great smash burger should be wider than tall. A great pub burger should have a patty that's no more than an inch tall, unless we're talking a 1-2 pound monster burger. Cheese, onion, pickle, condiments, bun. That's it. If I want a burger casserole, I'll ****ing ask for it.

I hate this stupid tall gigantic burger trend as well. If I wanted to jam 10 inch monsters down my throat I would have picked a different carreer... You just can't eat these things in a normal fashion.

I mean could make beet work in form of beet ketchup but with a turkey patty instead of beef.

I'm also not a fan of the absurdly tall burger, ...feel the same about the extra tall gyuto trend.

I don't have any strong food dislikes that I will refuse to eat, but one odd thing that I am not crazy about, that I want to learn to enjoy more, is Shiso leaf - to me it is reminiscent of the smell of smashed stinkbugs. Another food I've never had cooked well is liver and for me it's just dry and mealy. Same with boiled blood (had boiled bull's blood in Panama and we have Vietnamese pork blood stew in California). I'll eat it if it's served to me, but it's not my favorite.

Not that we are dogmatic about these things, or anything…

It's a big big tent, but there are some things that belong in other tents.

And I do have some in-tents opinions about that.

All I need on my burger is cheese and jalepenos.

That first one is basically shawarma.

Some Mayo, and not that Miracle Whip crap, and this is me. Onions optional.

Glad I don't know the smell of mashed stinkbugs. Shiso leaf just tastes to me like a less exuberant version of mint.

I love pork liver and chicken liver, but I sure wouldn't love them cooked "dry and mealy." You have to catch it at the moment the red disappears from the center. Or even a bit earlier, for us liver fans. Calves liver is...OK, I guess. Fully grown cow liver is, to my taste, disgusting, just too intense. Maybe I'll like it when I'm 90 and almost all of my tastebuds are gone, and I am desperate for something with flavor.

mine is Biscuits and Gravy. I don't get it. people love it and oooo and ahhhh..when it gets to the table. me..nope.

I actually don't even love the basic Biscuit all that much..hahha.

you?

I absolutely adore biscuits ‘n gravy, maybe it’s just a Southern thang, since I was born and bred in the southernmost state in the US.
Most memorable I’ve had was the biscuits ‘n gravy w/ a side of fried catfish at the Breakfast Klub in Houston; next best from a diner in Tacoma. Hungry now.

Definitely not just a southern thing (though I'm sure that's where it started). My blood runs white with little chunks of sausage and I'm PNW born and bred. Curious where in Tacoma you had killer BnG though because I had a similar experience there. Also, best chili I've had came out of Georgetown in Seattle lol.

I had no idea BnG were a thing in Hawai’i.

Moco Loco is just biscuits and gravy for people who don't know how to bake, fight me.

TBH, didn't indulge in biscuits 'n gravy until moving to the mainland—although the carbo/fat-centric nature of the dish fits in nicely with Hawaii's food. Islanders will devour anything smothered in gravy.

SPAM's a coveted ingredient in Polynesian and Asian food cultures—here's SPAM Musubi for one of our Xmas Suppers in Brooklyn.

When my sister was in college on the mainland, she'd get my mom to include cans of SPAM in care packages sent to her. I'd mentioned that SPAM comes from a factory in Austin, MN, and cheaper to buy on the mainland—but she was convinced it tasted better from Hawaii.
