I have had delicious burgers and steaks but it is probably 3-5% of the ones I have had in my life. Most are pretty bleh.

I think I just got irrationally angry at the amount of bad burgers I have had in my life.

Yerac, Thursday, 11 October 2018 19:25 (five years ago) link

I feel like most of the time i know when I'm ordering a good burger.

If I order a mediocre burger it's usually scratching a meat craving itch and I know what I'm getting (or not getting rather).

Rarely order steak out. Just so easy to do well at home, and there's always tends to be something more interesting on the menu.

Totally agreed on steak

I may have agreed with you guys re: burgers until the past weekend. I was working at an outdoor food festival and an neighboring vendor brought us over a tray of burgers. The tray sat there about 30 mins then I picked one up and... omg. Transcendence. Fresh, quality beef cooked about medium with a great smoky/bbq taste. Two slices of american melted on top. Only other ingredient was just a few wisps of sliced red onion. Not even sure there were any liquid condiments. I hadn't had a great one in a while, but a burger can best the BEST THING.

Yeah im a burger guy

A good burger is orgasmic

But i love blood and i love meat

So a combo of both those things lathered all over me and I’m golden

I love blood but most burgers are overcooked, seasonless, too huge pieces of meat. Burgers just remind me of depressed divorced dads, whack barbecues and fat-strong beardnecks.

You’re goin to the wrong places

Man nyc is shittier than i thought

F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 00:33 (five years ago) link

I've had some amazing burgers but like I said too much of the majority are blech. Like... it's food...congrats.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 00:35 (five years ago) link

The last good burger I had was during a pub quiz in Feb. It had a fried egg and blood pudding on it. The piece of meat was secondary.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 00:38 (five years ago) link

Yer come to california we treat u rite

F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 00:55 (five years ago) link

If I was in CA I would eat a burrito. Burritos are far superior to hamburgers.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 01:07 (five years ago) link

Apparently there are more taco places than burrito places in california

How do u like yr burrito

F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 01:15 (five years ago) link

love burritos but they cannot acheive a burgers juicy hot greasy cheesy umami

rip van wanko, Friday, 12 October 2018 01:18 (five years ago) link

I had a carnitas burrito today. I always have them skimp on the rice although that makes my burrito a little soggy diapery. I get everything on it. And extra hot sauce.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 01:26 (five years ago) link

Rice is so useless. Except in sushi. And I guess for sake.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 01:26 (five years ago) link

a good burger is better than a good burrito
but i am a ride or die redmeat carnivore

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 12 October 2018 01:32 (five years ago) link

Pork wet burrito w everything on it for me

But yeah i would probably choose a burger between the two for the most part

I can still really get into a wet burrito though

F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 01:39 (five years ago) link

mr veg loves wet burritos
i find them horrifyingly enormous & overkill

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 12 October 2018 01:45 (five years ago) link

OH man, I thought wet burritos were something that I just had to deal with, I didn't know people preferred it.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 01:49 (five years ago) link

Ladies...

A man eats a wet burrito

F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 02:04 (five years ago) link

they are the size of a newborn infant! terrifying

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 12 October 2018 02:08 (five years ago) link

Wait is a wet burrito a size thing? I once ate two burritos from Burritoville on a dare. It was the last time my now spouse ever dared me to do something because neither one of us were really winners from that.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 02:34 (five years ago) link

I am trying to think of something I would eat a hamburger over. Maybe a baked potato or fried rice.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 02:37 (five years ago) link

wet burritos are just sauced, what are any of you on about

gbx, Friday, 12 October 2018 02:40 (five years ago) link

also isn't the baby-sized burrito a specifically bay area thing (the mission burrito)? new mexican burritos are small and basically just one ingredient throughout ("hand-held")

gbx, Friday, 12 October 2018 02:42 (five years ago) link

at our taqueria an unwrapped wet burrito is twice as wide as a wrapped burrito because they wrap em really tight & they are full of stuff

idk about authentic or nothing tho

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 12 October 2018 02:43 (five years ago) link

The ones in LA/California are usually big (idk, 5 inches?), have red or green sauce, and melted cheese on top

Inside there’s usually rice, beans, meat, and sometimes lettuce/tomato/guac

The wet burritos in Vancouver, Canada are small and mild like most things in Vancouver and not common

F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 02:44 (five years ago) link

My burrito today I had to stand up in it's wrapper/foil and needed a spoon assist.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 02:47 (five years ago) link

wait what the hell is an unwrapped burrito

gbx, Friday, 12 October 2018 02:48 (five years ago) link

not wrapped in foil

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 12 October 2018 02:50 (five years ago) link

ahhhh ok

gbx, Friday, 12 October 2018 02:52 (five years ago) link

Xp to yerac

5x3” maybe

U kno what

Here this is from a pretty good place to get a wet burrito in LA — tepeyac in boyle heights:

I’m on phone but that looks like the one

Other faves are Tere’s on melrose/cahuenga

And for something a little heavier El Coyote

Damn i miss LA food

F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 02:58 (five years ago) link

I don't ever see it with sauce on top, but that size seems right. I don't think I would like the outer wrap all wet.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 03:00 (five years ago) link

Tortilla yo

Get outta here w “wrap”

F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 03:03 (five years ago) link

unwrap the diaper.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 03:05 (five years ago) link

a wet burrito by definition has the sauce on top!

gbx, Friday, 12 October 2018 03:06 (five years ago) link

why would you want a burrito covered in sauce

on the outside

The covered in sauce thing seems like something a Chili's would do.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 03:09 (five years ago) link

Xxxp

It’s an LA thing bro

A bunch of these things are called wet but they vary in size and sometimes they don’t add cheese on it

Look at the pics on tepeyac’s or coyote’s yelp page

F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 03:11 (five years ago) link

I thought LA people try not to poop.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 03:14 (five years ago) link

wet burritos can be good. sauce is usually a good thing wherever it is.

i likeah the sauce

the sauce is good

gbx, Friday, 12 October 2018 03:16 (five years ago) link

my take on burritos: i'm all set

call all destroyer, Friday, 12 October 2018 03:16 (five years ago) link

Extra sauce on anything is pretty terrible.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 03:17 (five years ago) link

although this may be why i don't like soups or stews.

Yerac, Friday, 12 October 2018 03:18 (five years ago) link

it isnt extra. It is the sauce.

for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 12 October 2018 03:18 (five years ago) link

wasn't there a thread about the weirdos who get extra sauce on pizza?
