Stopped by Lambert’s in a flyover vacation and holy shit coastfags might be right. That whole restaurant is plastered with license plates and accolades from all over about how it’s the best restaurant in Missouri and best road trip stop etc. I got my plate and it was this massive, soggy frozen beef burger with American cheese product and untoasted buns, with some thick cut raw onions and unseasoned green beans. It was the most offensively flavorless food I have ever tried.

unless you're eating 50% fat or something its not necessary. 20% is the max fat you should have on a burger. not even saying it isnt good, i probably would choose to have tomato and lettuce most times.

For asthetics.

The space in front of the diner needs to be large enough to hold a full-size dinner plate, but the volume of that soup course is too small to fill a bowl of that size, so a smaller bowl is used. But it would look wierd if you had a big open space with a small bowl in it. So the solution is to use a bowl with a very large rim, or to stack a succession of plates together to fill the space.
