The Burger Battles of the CEOs

This place is culture shock.

Tiny menu.

They slice potatoes on-site.

There have been a number of startups that didn't make it that were just as good as the icons that made it big. I wonder if some of them were bought out, I remember one place in Spokane, Washington where we always planned to include in our itinerary. It's gone, and I can't remember the name right now?

White Castle had the smallest burgers ever, but were a dollar a dozen. My mother thought they were the best, but I was young enough to think any burger was fit for a king.
 
At least they sometimes eat the food they serve others.

What I would like to see is a burger I get look like the ones in the advertisements. Instead they often look like they were smashed with a brick before being served. Condiments are applied unevenly, lettuce is wilted, the onions are on one side of the burger and the tomatoes on the other side, etc. And the buns! The Buns!!!! Soggy soft bread that almost dissolves half way through eating the burger. I often end up eating the burger with a knife and fork, or with my hands.

I don't eat fast food or pay attention to their CEOs.

When out of towners are visiting, I offer to do an In-n-Out run, and only order fries for myself. (I don't eat meat.)

I have at times made a meal out of french fries, myself. But not too often because while love dipping those puppies in loads of ketchup, I have to deal with guilt and my mother's voice telling me, "You shouldn't eat that way." And of course she was right. Those words still apply to adults. Having said that, I could go for an extra large pile of curly fries unencumbered by a distracting hamburger right now. It's almost time for lunch too.

Try it with a spoon.

I generally make myself a salad or plant-based burger to go along with the fries.

Speaking of this, what's the deal with the new craze of "smashburgers"? Has anyone tried them? Opinions?

I can’t speak for all the burger places, but I can say that sonic’s Smashburger is 100% real beef that is not frozen. They smash it as they make it. I can attest to that because I had one yesterday. I should’ve taken a picture of it, but I am not one to take pictures of my food so I didn’t think about it.

I can tell you this —- I know the difference between old hamburger meat and fresh hamburger meat. The smasher I had yesterday was absolutely fresh hamburger meat. It was really good.

It was also layered with onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles and sauce that was fresh. Some might call it slop if you don’t like a lot of that stuff, but I do like a lot of that stuff so it suited me.

I could’ve had the drink and french fries, along with the smasher for a total of six dollars, but I opted out of the drink and the french fries. Instead I ordered a medium side of their cheese sticks because nobody in my area makes cheese sticks as good as Sonic does, it’s in the breading they use.

Since I’ve had a terrific loss of appetite after my last concussion, that meal lasted me the entire day so it was worth the six dollars for the smasher and the six dollars for the cheese sticks.

Value received is always in the eyes of the beholder who is eating the product.🤠🤠

All three of my (now grown) kiddos worked at In-Out in Southern California during high school and college… great pay, great job, excellent company. Plus, their burgers are delicious! When I visit CA, I always get a burger and fries!

One of my sons worked there during late HS & college. Agree that they paid well and were excellent employers.
