    both are kinda wrong. in my experience, there’s like three different kindsa burger places. There’s the shitty ones, which are usually at least hella cheap but are no better than McDonalds or Burger King. Then there’s the good ones, where you can get a tasty burger with a house burger sauce and like caramelized onions. For both of those, yeah if you’ve ate at one of them you’ve basically ate at all of them. You’re not gonna find a burger so orgasmic that it fixes your depression or anything; there’s an upper limit to how good one can be. (though if you do plz let me know)

    However, there’s also a ton of places that I’ll affectionately call “weird” ones. this encompasses a wide range of wild shit, like a place that’ll make you a burger with six patties stacked on top of each other like some kinda beef monster, or make an “italian beef burger” which includes italian beef and giardinera on top of a patty, and the whole thing is dipped in meat drippings, or a place that uses donuts instead of buns and deep fries the sucker. These are all very distinct foodcrimes, and IMO it is worth going out of your way to behold them if you find yourself stateside.

      They are also both right.

      Ive lost count of the amount of places I’ve been to that “Omg you have to try…” only to be underwhelmed. Sometimes food is situational and I’m sure it was the best burger they ever had the day they had it, but to me its tuesday.

      Also just because its a national or even worldwide chain doesnt mean bad. I maintain that when you get a perfect Zinger burger from KFC its one of the best fried chicken burgers there is, get just the right amount of salt on fresh chips and the drink is COLD. Bruh.

      Used to (now closed) be a place you could get a 3/4 pound burger topped with 1/4 pound corned beef. Sauces which I can no longer remember and the works on fixings. Was to die for.

      Also, buffalo chicken sandwhiches are their whole ass own niche, and superior served on toast as a melt with fixings and I will die on that hill.
