I check the app from time to time when I’m out, but there hasn’t been anything worth trying for a good minute. I’m not paying $5 for a Mexican Pizza or some Nacho Fries, but maybe I’ll give it another chance if they introduce/bring back something I care about, but it’s unlikely that will happen at a price point I’m willing to pay.

I’ve cooked a thousand burgers for every possible kind of anon, and I want to set something straight once and for all. These are how people order burgers, from most popular to maybe-gets-ordered-once-or-twice-a-night tier:
Medium-rare > Medium >>> Well-done >>>>> Medium-well = Rare
Medium-rare is by far the most popular burger temp, followed closely by medium. People understand that medium-rare is the best way to eat beef, but there’s still a little bit of a stigma in the back of peoples’ minds that ground beef needs to be cooked more, so a lot of people settle for the middle ground and go one step up to medium. Then there’s a power gap for the elderly, adults who still live with their depression era parents, and literal children, for whom a burger is well-done and nobody is going to tell me otherwise! The last two are interesting. You’d think that rare would be closer to medium-rare, but there’s just something that happens between the two that makes the meat go from, “ehh, I don’t know man, that looks a little raw” to, “damn, that looks perfect”. Medium-well is the weird outlier. It’s basically like the kid who was forced to go to church his entire life and then discovered a Richard Dawkins book when he was 16 and went full on rebellion-core by ordering his burger one step below well-done (while everyone around him are on their phones like, “that’s cool anon, but you’re still deep in the cave looking at shadows on the wall").

>the vacant memery
I was having a conversation with my linen guy the other day about trying to find good help with so many fuckwads milking unemployment these days and just kind of blurted out, "maybe I'm just getting old, but I swear kids these days..." (>>15918994 "yes") It got me thinking, and I've started to resign myself to the fact that I just have to get with the times, and if "vacant memery" is what this board has turned into, then I guess that's what you have to do to fit in. If this gets deleted maybe next time I'll just post a youtube link to the latest clickbait e-celeb video with "IT'S UP!!!". Apparently that's what's considered "on topic" now; not posting actual images of what you're eating/cooking.
