    the real lesson here is to come to seattle and eat Dick's, which has been exactly as good all of the hundred+ times I've been there, and is both cheaper and better than every other fast food joint

    you also get to make a lot of really fuckin' stupid jokes

    i.e., "man I can't wait to get some Dick's in my mouth"

    "this bag of Dick's is going directly inside me"

    and so on, constantly, forever

    In N Out is a top pick when I want a delicious burger for good cost. $8.41 gets me a Double Double with fries and drink and it's just enough to properly fill me without being bloating. I recently tried the burger animal style and it was great, but never have I had an In N Out burger, and I've been to them across the state, that I would have ever considered bad.

    Burger snobbery is just as irritating as steak snobbery.

    When it comes to chicken, I was super unimpressed with CFA the one time I went there.

    However, Zaxby's has some truly good chicken.

    Zaxby's is OK, but probably my...4th or 5th choice for tendos in the immediate area.

    There are five, that have all opened within the past 12 months. They're in Costa Mesa, Aliso Viejo, Orange, Laguna Hills and Downey. There's one "coming soon" in La Habra.

    Cane's is good. Overpriced, but pretty good.

    I also used to work there and I know of one secretish menu item. Ask them to "bob" your texas toast and they'll put butter on both sides before grilling it.

    So that map from several pages ago,

    There are only 10 chic-fil-a's in the entire state and 3/4s of those opened in the last 6 months.

    I call that list BS.

    I dunno, im usually up for a bit of light steak snobbery, rare new york strip represent. If I hate myself ill dive down the "which style off bbq is best" hole.

    I keep doing a double take because down here Foursquare is like a convenience store/grocery store that you find in the smaller rural areas and towns that don't have bigger food stores.

    I think this Foursquare is some kind of geolocating phone app that tracks what stores you visit and sells that metadata to advertisers? I'm not sure why anyone uses it, there must be some other purpose to it that I don't know about.

    It’s just another Yelp

    I use it instead of Yelp because years ago I was in line at Chipotle and there was a sign that you would get a free bag of chips if you checked in on Foursquare

    It’s come in handy for finding local restaurants when in a new area

    Back before I knew how shitty their corporate practices were, I would go to Chic-fil-a as I really liked the food and the customer service was beyond great, but I honestly haven't been back in almost 9 years.

    I went to McDonalds last weekend and tried their chicken select strips and asked for the house sauce, and I wanted it for there, not to go, but they gave me a bag instead of a tray. I still ate it there, and I didn't say anything because I realized they were also trying to put together and organize like, thirty full meals for Uber Eats which is still relatively new in my area.

    Still much too heavy on their sauces.

    When your bbq needs a cup of sauce with it you've fucked something up along the way (unless it's carolina pulled pork with that vinegar mustard sauce mmmm)

    FTFY.

    Oh shit yeah! When I was looking for a can of soup to crack open and drink in the kitchen I found some jelly beans I bought that don't expire until April.

    I have been blessed tonight.

    The scene from the Steve Martin Pink Panther where he's working with an accent coach and he keeps fucking up the pronunciation of hamburger still cracks me up.

    That movie isn't great, but I love that scene.

    The best thing about Dick's is that if you go to them and say "I NEED AN UNREASONABLE QUANTITY OF BURGERS RIGHT NOW", whether it's the lunch rush, ten minutes before closing, or whatever time of day, they'll have them for you before the cashier is done counting your change.

    They're not amazing burgers on their own, but factoring in the price and the speed of production, they're an incredible value.

    I wish we had a Dick's burgers out here. Just so when I told someone to eat a bag of dicks, I could offer directions on where to pick them up.

    Closest we got is Dickey's BBQ.

    You know who makes a really decent Smashburger-style burg? Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers. If you're into the kind of burger that's juicy in the middle but has a doily of crispy bits around the edges, I recommend checking it out.
