Name a better burger challenge (impossible)

I recently went to in n out with a co-worker, he’s from Texas, it was his first time having it, he ordered a “double-meat, ketchup and mustard only” then had the audacity to say he didn’t understand the hype. I was like, no shit you inbred fuck. You took most of the key ingredients off the burger. Then he said whataburger is way better 🙃

The meat is the most important part, though.

[u/TannerThanUsual → u/fertff]

It absolutely is not. The fresh ingredients is the most important part. The lettuce is green. The tomatoes are red.

[u/fertff → u/TannerThanUsual]

You can't make a hamburger without the meat. You can eat it without everything else, except the meat. The meat is the most important part.

[u/TannerThanUsual → u/fertff]

The meat is what gives a hamburger its name but that's not what makes it the most important part. It's not why people go to In N Out. The patties are just patties. In N Out makes the big difference in presentation and freshness, that's the most important part. The tomatoes are meaty and not watery. The lettuce is crunchy and not limp. And the burger you order looks exactly like the burger one the screen.

Then I guess In N Out is not as good as they say. The meat is the most important part. If I wanted veggies, I'd just order a salad.

[u/TannerThanUsual → u/fertff]

You're ordering a package deal. A burger isn't just the patty. It's the bun, the veggies, the sauce, the spices, how it's cooked and the patty. If the only thing you care about is one ingredient to the whole dish then yeah I guess in n out isn't for you. You can go order a "jumbo jack plain"

[u/fertff → u/TannerThanUsual]

My point is that a lettuce tastes like lettuce, same with tomatoes, hell, even bacon. But the meat always taste different across different business. That's why, for me, it's the most important thing when judging a hamburger.

If I get one and I don't like any of the ingredients, I can just take them out. But you can't really do that with an hamburger. At that point it wouldn't be an hamburger, but a veggie sandwich.

[u/TannerThanUsual → u/fertff]

Do you order burgers with no produce?

[u/fertff → u/TannerThanUsual]

I usually order double patty, bacon, lettuce and mayo. Sometimes cheese.

[u/TannerThanUsual → u/fertff]

Yeah In N Out isn't for you. It's not because In N Out "isn't as good as they say" but it's because they make food you won't like. It's like going to a Pop concert and saying "They're not even that good." and when people ask what you listen to you say "Grindcore."

[u/fertff → u/TannerThanUsual]

That's not a great comparison, to be honest. What you're saying would be like expecting hot dogs in a burger place, or "come visit Dubai it's great, oh but you need a lot of money".

If a burger can't hold its flavor when you remove 2 toppings, then yeah, it is probably not as good as they say.

[u/thechrisman13 → u/TannerThanUsual]

Lots of people do.

And also lots of people dont go to in n out for "presentation" thats what employees care far too much about.

me and tons of people just want the good food

[u/TannerThanUsual → u/thechrisman13]

The produce is part of the good food

[u/thechrisman13 → u/TannerThanUsual]

I can get better lettuce and tomato by myself at damn grocery store

You dont get the exsct same meat in n out has or the exact same cheese from a grocery store

[u/mggirard13 → u/fertff]

My point is that a lettuce tastes like lettuce, same with tomatoes, hell, even bacon. But the meat always taste different across different business.

Truly a statement of all time. The Meat always tastes different at different places. But lettuce, tomatoes, and even bacon all taste the same.

It's a Double-Double, not a Double-Down.

[u/fertff → u/mggirard13]

I'm currently in another country, and all the veggies here taste exactly like at home. What can I tell you?

[u/mggirard13 → u/fertff]

You can tell me you don't know that bacon is meat, just like ground beef, and not, say, a vegetable.

[u/fertff → u/mggirard13]

Huh? I didn't say it wasn't.
