Melted fried onions on top of very good quality meat, seasoning and fried in oil gets you close.

Also very filling.

I love friend Onions!

They make a delicious flavor.

As the Great Harry Tuttle stated, one must be acreful to not overpower the Beef with toppings!


Some simple Salt and pepper is very good

I've never been that impressed by Five Guys. They're better than McD's burgers, sure, but not better than any other "burger joint." I think Five Guys does well because it's perfected the messy ambiance of the burger joint.

Has anyone ever ate at a Fuddruckers?

I really enjoy them and they have a build your own burger, I really love the Chipolte barbecue sauce on my burger

??? A properly grilled burger can't be matched by fast food. Don't fry it in oil, it just makes it taste like vegetable fats when you should be tasting the beef. Pretty much every meat is better grilled; smoke does marvelous things to the flavor. And FF joints usually have that nasty American cheese instead of good cheddar or swiss. Plus anemic vegetables, inferior rolls, and generally not the best-quality beef. Not that I don't eat FF, it's just nothing special.

Fuddrucker's is pretty good, though.

Their coke is better than the coke I buy in bottles.

It is a paste which comes in aluminium bags, and it is later mixed with water in the machines..

Unfortunately, our taste buds really like oil taste... butter or animal fat better than veggie of course, but they both work.

American cheese has enough salt and fat in it to be pretty tasty also... and what's this "vegetables" you put on your burger?

[Grandpa Troll]

Saltiness from fat sometimes equates to great taste.

i been on a diet a while and eating more vegetables plus down from 100+ grams of fat per day to between 25-30.

Then I go back and try to eat something saturated in fat, friend or otherwise not so healty.

You really can taste fat afterwards, it is thick upon ones lips and taste buds almost immediatley want to reject this.

Thats my experience however.

I used to whoof down Wendy's Triple Cheeseburgers with chili Sauce, dang, they are like a fat producing factory, ya can almost hear your arteries screeching to a halt

The Best Damn Burger Joint in the country.

They make some pretty good fries, too. and they offer malt vinegar as a condiment, thus making them civilized.

Malt Vinegar, never tried that Lonestar, is it about what the taste of salt and vinegar chips offer?

Thanks
