Philrad71 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 ^ My version looked like a smooshed down, much weaker/greasier version than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 ^ Seems to me, that all advertised burgers with photos, rarely come to you looking like the photo shows them to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 That's because the food in the photos isn't entirely made of food. https://petapixel.com/2016/03/24/photos-show-secret-tricks-food-photography/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 ^ Yeah, things I've read and seen in regards to food advertising is pretty trippy, sometimes out and out gross, LOL! I do get a kick out of all the plastic food displays I've seen in Japan. Those are amazing, and some times the food actually comes out looking like what's on display in front, heh.

Nrthwnd Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 ^ yeah, well from what I saw (we had the clam shell sandwiches back then, I remember), of others ordering them, the pizzas didn't look too bad. Actually, we thought they looked much better than the plastic ones on display, lol. What we had back in July, 2013. "Clam Shell Burgers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Jimmy Buffett musical, Escape to Margaritaville, just opened on Broadway, and http://www.broadway.com is doing an Opening Night Game about... all things...Burgers!

Philrad71 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'll do everyone a favor and try to shake that green burger image out of our heads now that St. Paddy's Day is over. Last weekend, Michael and I went to a local restaurant called Guppy's and I ordered their Chipotle Burger, which is a 1/2 lb burger cooked to your liking (med.rare for me), with pepper jack cheese, LOTS of crispy bacon, topped with their own creamy chipotle sauce. My only beef (pun intended) is that I didn't order a side cup of the chipotle sauce for dunking my steak fries. Soooo good, but I still have yet to have a burger as good as the ones that I tried at Allen Burger Venture in Buffalo. I would give this bad boy a 4 out of 5 stars. Mmm...chipotle burger.

Nrthwnd Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 ^ That looks very nice, Phil. And yes, Don't Forget EXTRA SAUCE Next Time, lol! Last week, we did take out from a downtown Fatburger, after seeing an afternoon movie. We used a Groupon Coupon, so we saved some $$ and it was awesome good, of course! http://www.fatburgercanada.com/ First sign of quality: fries' grease soaking into the bag. Out of the bag and onto our "festive dinnerware." Yeah, we're not that picky about what we eat food, on. Napkins of Quality. Out of the foil (burger w/cheese&bacon), and into our guts! YUM! Excellent fries, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Can't say that I have ever tried Fatburger, Bill...what gives it any type of different flavor than say a Whopper or Quarter Pounder? Last Sunday, Michael and I went to another "local" restaurant about a half hour from here. The restaurant is called Pine Junction - Tavern In The Pines, and it is literally out in the middle of nowhere. Had it not been for the small signage, you would likely pass it and think that it's just someone's house/farm! My burger of choice for this day was what they called the Backwoods Burger, which is 1/2 lb Angus with melted Swiss & Provolone cheeses, "Kreeper Sauce" and deep fried pickles on a sub roll. I honestly had no idea what Kreeper Sauce was, but decided to try it anyway. Turns out it was only on half the burger and tasted like A1 sauce mixed with burger grease (wasn't a fan). I was interested in the deep fried pickles on there because I like them on their own as an appetizer. But they really didn't add much flavor to the burger and instead only contributed to the grease factor with the batter on them. I will stick to regular pickles if I have them on a burger from now on. While the presentation looked great and the spiral cut steakhouse fries were refreshingly different (as well as delicious)...the burger was a bit of a disappointment, TBH. 3 out of 5 stars for being too greasy and for simply not having enough flavor for my liking. I would have ranked it 2 stars, but I'll go with 3 because of the spiral cut fries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Can't say that I have ever tried Fatburger, Bill...what gives it any type of different flavor than say a Whopper or Quarter Pounder? It's more messy, lol. And juicier than either of those burgers. And more messy. And their fries are awesome, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Last night's dinner made in my college dorm. I may have went a little overboard on the cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Chicken Alfredo Burger?! I mean... Don't get me wrong... I LOVE Chicken Alfredo... and I LOVE a good burger... But I feel like these are two things that should never be combined!! Plus... How messy would it be to eat?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 ....I may have went a little overboard on the cheese.... You can never go "overboard" with (too much) cheese on your burger! It's a probable Official Burger Law I would surmise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 ...Last week, we did take out from a downtown Fatburger, after seeing an afternoon movie. We used a Groupon Coupon, so we saved some $$ and it was awesome good, of course! Repeating The Above, this evening. Our second Groupon coupon, used. Only no afternoon movie seen, this time. Darnit we love Fatburger! I lied. Here's pic of what's going into the microwave, after being de-aluminized, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 ^ Yes, but I'm sure with all the microwave "activity" surging through that burger, I'll probably be sure to bite the dust in several years or so.....when I turn....70? Not the best thing to do do, and I would rather have re-heated the burgers up in the oven, like I did the fries. But it was still good. P.S. The burger itself was cooked on a regular grill at the restaurant, NOT in a microwave, lol! http://www.fatburgercanada.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
