@TonyaMarie - oh my yes

@dolari @TonyaMarie sounds delish

@Mondobizarrro - that's like saying so I like tangerines or mandarins better. In-N-Out is a thousand islands night and Whataburger is a Texas mustard burger. Which is better depends on your tastes.

@dolari both sound good tbh. They're also cheaper than fiveguys right? Like dont get me wrong fiveguys is good but not 20$ for a fastfood hamburger and fries good

@Mondobizarrro , I prefer Whataburger over everything. Five Guys is good, but not Whataburger or In N Out good.

Mostly it's just messy.

@Mondobizarrro - I'm not a fan of thousand islands dressing on burgers so In N Out is pretty far down my list.

@dolari yeah like i said "fiveguys is good, just not 20$ for a fastfood hamburger good" most sit down restaurants dont even charge that much for a burger

@Mondobizarrro @dolari honestly the best things at Whataburger are the onion rings and the toast w/ gravy.

haven't had a burger there in over 15 years because vegan but they're good for fast food, though still not like exceptionally great or anything.

@rowb1t @dolari i like fastfood tho

@Mondobizarrro @dolari not knocking fast food, just fme a lot of non-texans hear people talking up whataburger and expect like real restaurant-quality burgers and then are disappointed.

whataburger's real claim to fame is a good-sized menu and always being open 24 hours. during the big freeze a few years ago a lot of people didn't realize it was an actual emergency until the whataburgers closed down lol.

@rowb1t @Mondobizarrro @dolari on the other hand, Culver's is just as good as everyone says it is

@Cheezebell @Mondobizarrro @dolari the midwest has always been at the top of their game when it comes to fast food tbh.

my grandfather worked at what was basically a proto-fast-food restaurant in illinois as a teen and from what i understand back then they really *were* restaurant-quality.

@rowb1t @Mondobizarrro @dolari ooooo

@Cheezebell @rowb1t @dolari need. Honestly i wanna try making a good fast food style bacon double cheeseburger


Ok so for the bun id use potato buns as they are the most flavorful, cheap hamburger bun (sure brioche or pretzel is better but like fastfood wouldnt typically use these)

2 slices bacon
Sharp Cheddar cheese
80/20 chuck or 95/5 sirloin ground depending on how lean you want the beef to be
White or vidalia onions diced very finely and cooked with beef
Pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder

For burger sauce mix equal parts ketchup, brown or yellow mustard, sweet relish, mayo, and optionally not terrible ranch.

Sear until crispy on a griddle, then add cheese

Toast buns

Lather condoments on toasted buns
Then put the bacon and carmelized onions on first

Put it all together and enjoy

@rowb1t @dolari i mean i expect fastfood hamburgers that are p good.
