Portland 2005, except it’s damn near impossible to get a bad meal in Portland. Best food I ever had consistently in my life.

[edit] Oregon

Portland, TX has some pretty shitty food fyi

All I know of Texas food is Burnt Ends and a Whiskey scene that’s just over the fucking top insane with no end in sight.

dsco ,

No brisket or BBQ? That’s a shame.

Haven’t eaten in Texas …

look. imagine a place where the burger is not native. where the best burger you can hope for is… adequate.

imagine, if you will, a country shaped like a schnitzel.

in the twilight zone.

  • Half the staff are wearing wool beanies in dead ass middle of summer
  • Sides are a la carte, fries come in a metal cup with newspaper-style wax/parchment paper
  • The bottom bun is falls-apart-soggy by halfway through
  • Claims to have a huge selection of craft beers…all IPAs, a stout, a sour, and PBR

You forgot the black gloves! Those are required by law.

Lol that is so spot-on I can’t believe the parallels never occurred to me. One exception though, I really had good burgers in such a place in Haarlem / NL.

  • Burgers are served on a scaffold board/shovel/roof tile
  • Coleslaw is always referred to as house 'slaw.
  • Menu prices omit the $ sign/£ sign.
    Eg. Triple cooked fries 4

“Gourmet bacon and cheese burger - 15”

15 what? Pence?

run by four interchangeable lumbersexual white guys in their mid 20s who are having the time of their lives and one white chick in her late 20s who is just so over it.

yeah that’s about the last time i walked into one of them places.

taiyang ,

There was a place like this near my old work and my boss would often offer to pay. I naturally ordered a couple mediocre burgers and overly seasoned truffle fries with sage for some reason.

Thankfully there was a similar coffee place next door, but that’s a good thing in their case (that coffee was fire)

The only good thing is that most of those places have some sort of black bean or veggie burger.

space_comrade ,

I’ve tried a lot of these veggie burgers and tbh at least where I’m from most of the time they kinda suck. I’ve had a few really really good ones but mostly they tasted mid.

UltraGreen ,

It’s the most hit or miss thing I can get as a vegan. It’s either a really great in-house, well seasoned patty. Or just a morning star frozen thing with grease as it’s only seasoning.

Verito ,

And even then, you need to ask if it contains egg.

@roux@hexbear.net avatar

It can be hit and miss from my experience as well. We have a bar and grill place that has a black bean burger and the fucking patty is 1/2 lb and an inch thick. The burger tastes good but it’s way too much bean and it ends up being a chore to eat. We have a fast food place that has a black bean burger that is pretty thin but you get a lot of veggies on it and it is all pretty balanced. We have a local hipstery joint similar to the meme posted that has amazing food all around but they have a beyond burger and a black bean burger and it’s actually nice to have that option but they also always have like 3 other vegan options.

Ithorian ,
@Ithorian@hexbear.net avatar

I agree on most of them being kinda mediocre but at least I can always get something when my friends are in the mood for burgers.

SSJMarx ,

Since the rise of Impossible/Beyond those are the only veggie burgers I can stand. If I want beans then I’ll order beans, ya know?

And the opposite of this, if the menu is plain text and pictures of food that were taken with a digital camera from 2009 then its going to be fantastic

Burger place with yellowed ceiling tiles and a laminated menu? That shit is gonna be good.

KingJalopy ,

Because these places are passionate about food. The fancy ones are passionate about money and profit. I see it all over California, it’s absolutely true.

DJDarren ,

Best burger I ever had was in this weird, kinda yellowing, almost dirty place in New York. They didn’t have tables as much as seats with like a board that came across, like one of those school desks you see in movies.

If I’m ever in New York again I’m going to try and find it, though I’m fucked if I can remember where it was or what it was called.

pingveno ,

The most mediocre dining experience (for the money) I’ve ever had was at a restaurant called “Smallwares.” Emphasis on small, it turns out. Case in point, we ordered duck breast, which cost a fair bit. I was picturing at least a fair amount, but it was the smallest smidgen slivered up with a dollop of sauce. It was the same with every dish, high prices for not much food.

Sure there were other places that had worse food. One remote dinner lacked any fresh food, but you can’t really help that when you’re in the middle of nowhere. But never have I felt like I was being fed by Famine from Good Omens.

LordCrom ,

Worst place I ate brought the raw burger to you next to a boiling hot slab of rock. I was expected to cook my own burger the way I liked it. Well fuck you, I’m paying you to cook my meal. Plus it just seemed disgusting to have raw meat at the table anyway

CookieOfFortune ,

Is this like American hot pot?

Agent641 ,

Australian hot pot, you have to catch the sheep yourself.

not_woody_shaw ,

It’s not a restaurant but the sheep looks kinda hot.

Pretty common grilling meat yourself in Japan, but for a steak just asking for how you want it done makes way more sens.

Dendr0 ,

Don't forget the smugness. These types of places always have such smug staffing, like they think they shit gold or something. It's like bitch please, you're demanding someone pay a day's wage for you to fuck up ground beef. Fuck off out of here with your foofoo bullshit burger.

P4ulin_Kbana ,

I wouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Following aesthetic trends is just being savvy, it’s not necessarily compensating for something.

SSJMarx ,

Bar around the corner of my house is like this. I’ve never been because they’re across the street from a hole in the wall Japanese place that is really, really good, so whenever I’m walking out of my house to eat that’s where I go.

The burger is fine, but the sides are usually amazing.

psud ,

If they’re good they’ll be overpriced
