    Making hamburgers is actually kind of my thing. I'm kind of like an amateur Red Robin or something.

    Tonight is guacamole burgers. Saturday will probably be italian burgers. (I make this awesome italian burger spread.)

    I am the true Burger King.

    My kids really want to eat at McDonalds, except that what they really mean is "I want the toy that comes with a happy meal". I suspect they wouldn't like actually eating the food as much as they think they would.

    Well my parents would make burgers sometimes, with fresh buns unlike the soggy kind you get at fast food places, and while those were considerably less gross, I wasn't super in to them, either.

    I think one of the basic issues is the type of bread called a 'bun' is generally very much against what I like in bread, added to the fact that patties are not the most ideal form of meat delivery. Thinly sliced pastrami on a fresh roll, that's speaking my language.

    pastrami is the bomb diggity

    @Cambiata , I've converted two burger haters into burger lovers. But I'm not telling you this because I hate it when people are like "McFlynn, you don't like coffee? You just haven't had my coffee!"

    I just like talking about how much I love hamburgers.

    Man, eff coffee.

    The toy helps but they like the food too because taste buds mature as you grow up and children have awful taste in everything. My parents would never get me happy meals because they were a ripoff and would let me get two burgers instead of one whenever we went to McDonald's.

    Except when they had the transforming dinosaur happy meals. No force on earth or heaven could stop me from getting all of those.

    happy meal toys have generally gone down-hill in quality. i say this as a dude who has, through the poor choices of my younger relatives, been around little kids like my entire life.

    MOST OF THEM DON'T EVEN FUCKING DO ANYTHING ANYMORE THEY'RE JUST CHEAP PLASTIC STATUETTES.

    However, my niece did get a Mr. Krabbs toy that is pretty boss in her last happy meal, so.

    I still have some of the Beast Wars Transformers happy meal toys. They actually transform and stuff.

    The last McDonalds transformer toy I saw didn't have a single joint.

    I hated the shit out of McDonald's as a kid and for ages I never knew why.

    Then, after being forced there one day, I opened the burger and found out why.

    They put diced onions on their burgers.

    HATES ONIONS.

    raw onions are never a good thing. White Castle still holds a bitterness in my heart because they put raw diced onions on my sliders when I was like 5

    You know that Whomp! Where Ronnie asks for McNuggets at a non McDonalds restaurant, and then runs away thinking that he can never go back there?

    For some reason in my mind that restaurant was burning to the ground behind him as he leaves. But I randomed into that comic last night and it totally wasn't.

    This has been my story of mis-remembering a webcomic.

    Didn't the McNuggets change at some point over the last few years? Possibly more?

    I can never tell if something has changed since my youth or my tastes just change, but not liking McNuggets anymore makes me feel like a goddamn mutant.

    McDonalds toys used to rock. There were a lot of good ones, but the ones I believe were my favorite, and the ones I remember best, were the animal ones where you got a hollow animal figure that could be separated into the two halves, and then you could pop any two halves together. It was super simple, but I had hours and hours of fun making all sorts of badass animals with like hippo legs and lion fronts, and then my brothers and I would like fight and decide whose were the best.

    Actually they did! I want to say in 2003 or so they changed to all white meat, and it would be safe to say my obsession started between then and now

    Years ago (I'm talking like eight years ago) I went on a vacation and it involved getting on an airplane! I was, of course, super nervous about this, but that's not what I ever remember whenever I think about the airport/airplane and such.

    No, what I remember is going through security, everything is fine, and the woman working there at the metal detector saying "Have a good flight!" Because I responded with "You too!" because I just wasn't listening or maybe I just thought she said 'day' or maybe it was reflex; I don't know. I had an inordinate amount of embarrassment about that, and I actually worried that when I came back, she would be working again and remember me as the "You too!" kid.

    It's just kind of up there with the "you can never eat here again" thing for me.

    Whomp! Is one of my favorite comics

    I tell all my friends to read it

    Just jump right into the middle of a conversation I wasn't a part of and interrupt with something like "WOAH HEY GUYS HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS WHOMP COMIC MAN TALK ABOUT A HOT FRESH TAKE ON THE FOIBLES OF THE EVERY MAN OH GEEZE"


    Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!

    I have also almost done the "'you too' to a waitress who says 'enjoy your meal!'" thing. I stopped myself after "You" and switched back to "Thank you." Except, I was trying to cover for it, so it was basically "You t-thank! You! Thank you!". She just kind of gave me a weird look.

    I then spent the entirety of the meal worried that she thought I was this creepy guy who was awkward and wanted to hit on her or something. Which led to a five-minute period of time where I tried to figure out what kind of tip to leave her because too much just reaffirmed that I was apparently said creepy awkward guy, and too little was just rude.

    Thankfully, I have gotten over a -lot- of this kind of anxiety.

    So all the biscuit talk was running in my head at lunch today. Passed a Jack in the Box and saw a sign touting their new southern style biscuits.

    It was....ok? I mean it's not great but it was better than their old biscuit was. It had some flavor and a nice crumbly texture. And I've definitely had worse at other places so I guess it was an acceptable substitute for now.

    Greasy as hell though. On par for Jacks.

    Heres a question for you folks

    Have any of you ever ordered a McDouble, hold the ketchup/mayo, add lettuce/special sauce for a poor man's Big Mac?

    As is my nature, I'm scared to try that, lest they banish me from the establishment (or worse, just say no)

    If you order a double hamburger or a mcdouble and ask for Mac sauce, its good. Better if you leave off the ketchup. I just never go the full monty because I get Ronnie-esque anxiety from very long custom orders at McDonalds.

    Edit: Also, they charge extra for mac sauce. And someone posted a cost list from McDonalds on Reddit sometime last week. The mcdouble costs about 61 cents to make, the big mac costs around 80 cents.
