Hamburger Hell

[LegoDan]

I am so fed up with people getting mad at us for not telling them that there is a bunch of crap on our hamburgers. We have big signs with picture of hamburgers with crap on them (of course not crap-crap but yeah) "It doesn't say on the menu that it has this stuff." and i have actually responded with "just a question, do they say at places such as McDonald's that there's stuff on their cheese burgers?" before i caught myself, and whatever happened to wiping it off with a napkin and smothering it with ketchup? "i didn't want pickles" are you allergic to cucumbers, vinegar or salt? then take them off! I don't mind making burgers to order, just tell me before you get the order and open it, then i have to throw it away.

In the window of a fast food place in San Francisco I saw a sign that read, "We serve Grey Poupon." On the counter inside was a hand lettered sign that read, "We Poupon Your Hot Dog."

LegoDan,
I am not defending the peepholes who complain about the stuff on the burger, but having lived in the midwest for 11 years, I understand why. When you go to a fancy burger place [like a dive bar that happens to serve burgers], when you order a burger, you get just that. A burger. The way we are used to a hamburger is called "California Style". We went to this place in Minneapolis, near ValleyFair! called "Lions' Tap" that was supposed to have the best burgers in the world. So, we ordered burgers, and they came Plain. There was mustard and ketchup on the table, and pickles too, but that was it. It cost extra for Onions, Lettuce and tomato. We learned to order our burgers California Style. And God Forbid you might be able to find a sandwich with sprouts, lettuce and tomato all at once. They dont exist east of Arizona. That's why the rest of the country calls us Californians "Health Nuts", because we dont want to eat JUST meat and bread! And Salad Bars are almost non-existent as well back there. We were told by our manager that there was a really good one at this hotel, so we went expecting something awesome, and it was about the same size as the salsa bar at El Pollo loco, with brown lettuce and 3 kinds of dressing. Terrible. Okay, one more tangent, then you can have the topic back. In Minnesota, their idea of mexican food is a chain owned by El Torito, but set up for midwesterners. Imagine Taco Bell, but two tacos cost 8 bucks, and they are like taco bells' old Super Taco. And the restaurant chain is called, now get ready, here it comes, "CHI CHI'S"!!

P.S. No offence to those awesome people I met at ValleyFair! and Knott's Camp Snoopy. I miss all of you very much, and there is no church within 100 miles of here that can compare to Crystal E. Free church which you can look at at www.cefc.com

We have Chi Chi's back where I am from in Indiana, yeah it's their version of El Torito, unimpressive. Oh you mentioned taco bell's super taco which was called "The Bell Beefer", I miss it so much, that's when the mexican pizza was known as "The Pizzaz".

One time I was in Barstow on my way to Vegas and we stopped at Tommy's Burgers, anyone who's ever eaten at Tommy's knows they put chili on their burgers, well this old man took his burger back to the counter threw it down and loudly proclaimed..."HEY, I DIDN'T ORDER CHILI ON MY BURGER!" the whole restaurant lost it. (btw there are also signs that indicate that they put chili on their burgers, as well as pictures of the burgers themselves.)
