To be fair, it's a great burger. And it's big enough that two can sit at the bar and split one for lunch with an appetizer. If you want a more traditional burger in the Michelin star category try pic related.

The place is what you wish a fast food burger would taste like. Given how disappointing most fast food joints are (or have become) that's kind of cool. I get why people are enthusiastic about it.

I understand that it's shitposting, but I'm still concerned, merely on the slim chance, that there are people on /ck/ that don't understand the ideal hamburger is about three steps back from having a 100% veal patty surrounding fois gras, covered in mornay sauce on a 100% ancient grain bun.

It's laziness, you know? I guarantee that if you live within the continental United States, you are not more than 20 minutes away from a Hamburger joint that has been in business since the Kennedy administration, and makes a burger that would blow the socks off all these uninspired "use the most expensive ingredients possible" yuppie burgers. And yet rather than take the effort to find one of these places in a world where google exists, you instead go to a nice restaurant and make an ass out of yourself by ignoring anything remotely dignified, instead ordering a hamburger in front of people you should presumably be trying to curry favor with.

You are aware that when you go to an expensive restaurant and order a hamburger, you may as well be ordering dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets off the kids menu?

You're literally ordering the item they put on the menu for out-of-their-element poor people. Like ordering the steak at a Greek restaurant.

You are announcing to everyone at the table that you are unfamiliar with or uncomfortable ordering something of class, and so you default to the most familiar thing on the menu, which happens to be the thing they serve at McDonalds.

I often order the burger at an unknown restaurant.

I have to travel for work and sometimes I'm in a less than cultured place (starts with F and ends with lyover land)

The locals, let's just say they mean well. They take me to what they consider a fancy place. Needless to say I am not interested in "the special"

A burger is something even a clueless rube from Skokie isn't going to fuck up to the point of being inedible

In short, I'm probably being judged as "uncomfortable ordering something of class", but honestly I just want food, not your provincial, poorly executed ideas of fine dining

>You're literally ordering the item they put on the menu for out-of-their-element poor people.
A decade ago you would have been right. Not today. Now chefs spend months developing their burger blend with their meat purveyor, often involving some short rib in the mix. A great burger has become much more of a matter of pride than something on the menu for the punters. Michelin star burgers are a thing now, and chefs take them as seriously as the rest of their menu.

This shit has made Pat LaFrieda into a minor league rock star.

Except this isn't evolution, this is just rich people food emulating poor people food. If I wanted foie gras, I'll go to a place that serves it normally. If I want a burger, I'll go to a burger joint.

No, actually I'm not. I'm not specifically trying to avoid fast food, but I also don't go out with the sole purpose of going to one. Maybe if I'm in a road trip and in a hurry I will, but even then I'd usually just wait until later. I don't have anything against fast food, it's fine to eat there every once in awhile if you're in the mood. And unlike you I don't keep track of the dates I go to fast food places. It's a bit weird that you can remember that.

Now I'm merely well off, I'm not rich, but I routinely wine and dine with people who you being richer than is statistically VERY unlikely. For business.

And, no. 'Rich' people do not 'not give a fuck about what people think'. In fact, it's pretty much the only thing they care about. Even in formal business affairs with a representative of a company you can't suddenly start ordering chicken fingers at a Michelin restaurant.

I'm going to ASSUME you're not actually rich, partly because rich people don't browse fucking 4chan, but also because your idea of a rich person is how a middle class person thinks they would act if they WERE rich.

Welcome to the biggest fine dining trend of the last decade. Biggest reason I stopped bothering with it so much. When all the flavors at the top dollar places started being pretty much what I'd been eating on street level (just made with better ingredients) I kind of lost interest. But I'm sure it's all very exciting to people with high disposable income who would never set foot in ethnic/unfashionable neighborhoods.

I'm cool with it, though. Saves me a fuckton of money dining out.

Anon, I eat dinner with people for a goddamn living. I've had dinner with more 'rich' people than you could count.

Appearance is literally the most important thing to these people, because otherwise they might as well retire.

The kind of 'rich' people that "don't give a fuck what other people think of them" are the kind that didn't earn their money through socializing, i.e. the children of rich people, the kind of people I get to put a little red 'x' on a sheet saying whether or not I'd recommend doing business with.

This is pretty spot on. The only thing rich people give a fuck about when dining out is that everyone around them is at least as rich as they are, preferable richer, so they know they're in the right place.

Their rebellious kids who've been slumming it can spoil the fun by pointing out that the ceviche appetizer was the kind of street food they ate when driving their motorcycle through South America.

This isn't an insult, but an actual question. Do you have autism?

What part of 'wining and dining' implies it would ever be acceptable to actually openly criticize what someone else is ordering.
In fact, that's not even really high class dining etiquette? That's the kind of thing a normal person would observe if they were having dinner with their mother.

But, no, I don't say shit when someone orders chicken nuggets off the kids menu. I get paid by rich old white people to have memorized all this nonsensical antique table etiquette and to notice when the other party is ignorant of it. SAYING something would be an embarrassment to my company and is literally the opposite of what my job is to do.
