1. What's that all about?
I dunno... For better burger? Seems kind of frivilous to me, they're both meat on a bun.

2. Ya know what pisses me off?
No press coverage for Wendy's.

Maybe America just isn't ready for a square patty.

6. Who wants a crappy fast food burger?
If you are going to eat dreck, at least eat decent dreck like Red Robin. Or find that one great burger joint in your area, the independent restaurant that's been owned and operated by the same family since the mid 40s.

Crimeny, "Burger King or Jack In The Box." This is why I hate either/or choices at the polls. :toast:

9. I came into this backing
In & Out Burger.

But I dunno, which place has the best milkshakes?

I think Milkshakes is going to be the issue for America in '08

If that's true --I have to go McDonald's.

17. That was then; this is now
I worked for Mc D when I was in my late teens and early 20s; that was when they were still grilling stuff fresh. When they decided that toasting buns took too much time and then switched to warmed over patties.... *blech!* I haven't eaten at Mc Donalds in 10 years, and that was before I saw Supersize Me and read the companion, http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780399152603&itm=1">Don't Eat This Book.

I stand by what I wrote: Brand loyalty be damned; go independent and find your bliss.

13. Never heard of them
I'm a confirmed carnivore (I was greased up by a bishop and have the certificate to prove it) but I'd be interested in trying one. If it is a chain, do they have a website listing locations?

24. They are too small
and they have holes in the patty.

At best they are appetizers.

I think they should split off and form the "Tailgate Party"
