lol … it just sounded unreal

Unfortunately, it was real. Cop knew my family was poor and there was nothing I could do.

that’s friggin’ terrible
my father once said, there’s no better person than a good cop … but nobody worse than a bad cop
… my father was a cop … I always assumed a good one

I understand it is very popular in the Far East and Australia because of it's ruggedness and dependability.

"In-N-Out has announced it is going to open its first location in Nashville, Tennessee, which is the furthest east the burger chain has ever been based."

I will try it at some point just to say I have, but I just generally do not do fast food.

I don't do boxed food.

Try to make everything with fresh ingredients that are not loaded with other shit Like Mayo that is oil, egg and acid rather than 16 different colorings, preservatives and texture enhancers.
I wish I had done it decades ago.

If you eat a burger on occasion, this is the one to eat.
When I lived in Hanford CA, 5 years ago, there was an In and Out a mile from my house. I rarely ate there but when I did, I got a great burger and fries. They are the very best.
A lot of folks are not impressed with their fries. That's because they are used to fries with additives. These arefresh cut potatoes - you can watch them cut them......

5 Guys fries are hard to beat. My boss is from Idaho and I always take a picture of the sign that says what farm the potatoes came from and send it to him and ask "You know these guys?" He has replied yes a couple times.

5 Guys burger will be hard to beat as well.

They opened a place in Manchester, NH and it was great........for about a year....then they stopped cleaning the grill top and the grease soaked the bottom bun. The good help was being stolen by local small shops and 5 Guys started hiring cheaper help. From then on it went downhill on a sled.

Haven't seen one here .

Are you sure you didn't go on a bad day?

No. Actually went back a couple of times and it wasn't anywhere near the same as when it opened.

It could be just the crew or they stopped following franchise guidelines. Just haven't been to another one since, because there isn't one local.
If one does open around here, I'll give it a fair chance and try it. The best burgers around here is a small shop called Brothers Burgers. Hand made patties and they make a real effort to be better than Culver's. Culvers is a custard ice cream place out of Wisconsin. Burgers aren't too bad. Love the custard ice cream.

They taste good but I have to stay close to a toilet!

Yeah, we have a Culver's here. It's a decent burger. A "Smash Burger" if you're into that. Freddie's is very similar. Culver's has a way better burger but Freddie's has better custard.

I've never heard anyone say that before.

Hope you're okay.

I've been to Culver's, definitely a decent burger.

Well if you're going to only have it once get you the Double-Double and order your fries animal style if you're not in the bread you can ask for a Flying Dutchman

Nothing worse than a burger without the bun....well a McDonalds burger with or without the bun is pretty gross.

I had a friend who worked at McD's in the early 80s. I picked him up after work and he grabbed himself a couple burgers off the grill on his way out. Rushing, he didn't add any fixings. He started eating one, and started laughing his ass off. He thought it funny how disgusting the burger and bun were without being rescued by the ketchup, mustard and onions.

I took his word for it and never attempted to verify for myself.

Not the only burger joint that does that to me!

Stopped at a Burger King at the NY/CT line on the way home from James Madison 2 Day camp. Grandson had two cheeseburgers and fries. By the time we hit Route 90 in Mass. I had to stop and hold him up while he got rid of everything. He won't even watch a Burger King ad on TV because his stomach starts to flip.

Burger King always gives me diarrhea. It was not always that way. Maybe the last 10 years?
Ever been constipated? I don't need exlax. I can go to burger King, 5 guys and a few other places and it is over very quickly!
Most Ice cream joints do the same to me - been the same for 60 years.
I am allergic to sulfites. Might be the problem. Sodium Metabisufite used to be used in almost everything fast food.
Now the biggest concern is anything by Annheiser Busch - Budweiser, Michelob, etc.
