OT: Cheeseburger and Fries Thread

[Walker11]

I finally get your username! You’re a walker after that 10th fry! Man, that was so obtuse, but thank you for finally clueing us in.

The true story is drunk me thought Kemba was #11.

 

[Deepster]

thate stuff is the elixir of life. Not detrimental.

If she bought me 50 Pork Belly sandwiches I would sign the check.

I thought you said you put 16 pounds back in but we’re getting back on track?

Just remember a month or so ago when I called the EXACT point you turned the train right back to Fatso City.

Bottomless fries are what we live for

was just in Quebec and ate poutine once a day, 5 days in a row. i wish it were a thing here.

Knuckleheads in Wallingford consistently puts out excellent burgers. My go-to is the Big Kahuna burger with the pineapple and bacon.

Pineapple on a burger is so wrong on so many levels. I like pineapple, just not on burgers or pizza.

shoe string fries.


Not good.

Fried shoe strings



Worse.

Truly, I've pretty much stopped ordering them, but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised if someone offers a share, and sometimes they come through.

No ketchup, little to no salt nowadays, plus fond summer '74 memories of very plain & always delicious 90¢ fries that I ate in my $1.25 Fenway Park bleacher several dozen times

Hot take; Fries are best when

1) Dipped in ranch

2) Dipped in mayo

{getting hit by a bus}

3) Dipped in ketchup

Malt Vinegar, with tons of salt

Try BBQ sauce and blue cheese!

could really go for a Ted's bbq chicken/onion ring pizza right now... it shouldn't work, but with the blue cheese it's so good

 

[storrsroars]

Def doesn’t suck.

He probably knows spots that are great but I’ve eaten Primanti’s and it was delish.

Nah. If friends come to town and demand I take them to Primanti's and actually go with them, they become non-friends.

Keeping with the thread, about the worst thing you can do to a french fry is put in on a Primanti's sandwich in between the vinegary cole slaw and the cheap meat.

Btw, this thread is easily the clubhouse leader for best thread of 2019. And it may be hard to top.

You need to factor in that Dove is an idiot.

I wouldn't categorically bash the concept. I'd say the rosemary/garlic fries at Smashburger qualify as shoestring and those are crack.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Shake Shack is overrated but Chick-Fil-A is god awful.

Gasp, take that back!

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Gold burger or Plan B. I like Ted’s too.

 

[NHalan]

Gf does the same. It's sickening.

 

[NHalan]

If you have to have Turkey burgers, Butterball frozen grills up fine.

Thank you for your interest in Dovian burgers.

They are the worst. Went to an upscale French bistro recently and the steak pommes frites came with shoe string fries. They were like the shoe string fries you would eat out of a can as a kid but even worse. They are too hard, can't be eaten with a fork, and just aren't good.

 

[Waquoit]

Sounds just like the SO talking about the onion rings at Mickey's. Yeah, but...

What you got for best onion rings? I hate like 95% of the ones I’ve ever tried, but I love the ones at the Glenwood in Hamden. Other than that, the only other great ones I can recall were at Al’s French Frys in South Burlington, VT.

That was the thing, I'm not a OR person. But the shoestring rings at Mickey's were addicting.

Augie and Ray's down the street does a nice ring. They dust and batter them right at the fry station.

 

[Devland]

At a diner I used to eat at growing up in PA I used to get a open face turkey sandwich with gravy fries on the side. they were thicker fries like steak fries. I remember them as being good

I’m not an OR person generally either, primarily because I hate onions as a condiment, and even more so as a main ingredient. I cook with them and that’s about it. But there are a few rare onion rings that are so good that they make me forget about the onion.

Nectar’s in Burlington, VT is king of gravy fries. No late night there is complete without them.

 

[whaler11]

So who make good fries besides nobody? I haven't had a good fry since Jack's at the Northampton Fair. And I haven't been there since they stopped racing horses.

There needs to be more random places where horses race.

Surprised it took this long to get a vote for Ted’s cheeseburger grinder (or are you talking about the place in Meriden?). Honestly, don’t remember ever eating one sober but, as I recall, they were great.
