Memes

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

• Half the staff are wearing wool beanies in dead ass middle of summer

• Sides are a la carte, fries come in a metal cup with newspaper-style wax/parchment paper

• The bottom bun is falls-apart-soggy by halfway through

• Claims to have a huge selection of craft beers...all IPAs, a stout, a sour, and PBR

There's a bar here with that aesthetic. They do serve ok burgers at slightly reasonable prices, but the secret is to become friends with the cooks. Then tell them that you don't care what the upcharge is, but you want them to make you the burger they'd want and to have fun with it.

Now I can go in and say "Tell them TexasDrunk wants whatever burger they want to send out" and 9 out of 10 times I get a burger that's delicious (and sometimes insane). Usually they just charge me the regular burger price.

I don't do it often, but I got good friends and good burgers out of it.

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

I went to a place like this once. Had a bison burger (?) and it was avtually fucking delicious. The fries were just "fries" but they weren't bad in any way. Above average in flavor and consistency.

I'm guessing most places like this are garbage and the one time I went, I got lucky.

So the city I live in has a few of these and they're some of the best burgers in town, for fairly reasonable prices.

There's a fucking war on here for the best burger and I'm so happy for it. We don't fuck around with burgers.

They're so good and reasonably priced that the first time I saw this meme I was a little confused. Like yeah the aesthetic is kinda lame but that doesn't change the food. Maybe the stools aren't comfortable but like, there are regular tables. Like what's the problem??

Then I went to another city.

My friends, I am so, so, sorry. You don't deserve this. Good burgers aren't hard, they're really not. Just stay home, invest in a griddle. Even if it's just a small one for your stove top, you can make better burgers at home. Make friends with a local butcher, he won't steer you wrong. I don't know what caused that trend but I know the only way to stop it is to stop going.

Broke: We can offer you our truffle fucked nothingburger with garlic ass for $20 dollars with every single fry costing a dollar extra
Bespoke: falafel shawarma $3, yoghurt or hummus, boss?

The only good thing is that most of those places have some sort of black bean or veggie burger.

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

Funnily enough, I'm Spanish and the meme is somehow also accurate here?

+ chef wearing black gloves

Worst place I ate brought the raw burger to you next to a boiling hot slab of rock. I was expected to cook my own burger the way I liked it. Well fuck you, I'm paying you to cook my meal. Plus it just seemed disgusting to have raw meat at the table anyway

I hate the "EAT" sign. I came here for food please don't be so demanding about it

And its name is always like some suburbanite place: The Yard, Patio Patties, Culdesac Restaurant & Bar

remember r/WeWantPlates ?

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.

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.

This is absolutely not true.

Sometimes it's a very mediocre $8 taco.

Sed Porttitor isn't even that good, I dunno why they need it on their menu a half a dozen times.

Don't forget the smugness. These types of places always have such smug staffing, like they think they shit gold or something. It's like bitch please, you're demanding someone pay a day's wage for you to fuck up ground beef. Fuck off out of here with your foofoo bullshit burger.

Seen this meme tons of times and I never noticed the menu was lorem ipsum

The beer menu is on a chalkboard all the way across the bar and you can't see it.

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.
