This, obviously, was inevitable.
Hmmm, I think I'm beginning to see the real reason why Liv didn't want Judas to visit Ottawa...Liv has no self-control!
Good thing I didn't let Judas borrow a bra to help him out with the bewbs part!

The only good one is McDonald's.

Really? I think American McDonald's is gross... which is wierd because I love the Canadian McDonald's, and yes, they taste different.
I'd love to try Sonic, just for fun. In'n'Out Burger is one I'd love to try as well. I'd even hit Shoney's for the burger buffet, if they're still doing it. I've never been to a White Castle. I've never tried Jack In the Box.
There are so many places in the States that look so delicious... Boston Market being one, I'd KILL to have one of their sammiches, just to try it.
[/ QUOTE ]
Sonic and In-N-Out are both fantastic. White Castle is good, too, but their burgers feel more like you're just renting them. They're called "sliders" for a reason. 
I've never had Boston Market because it looks like food I can make at home, but I've heard they're not bad. There are no Jack-In-The Boxes near me, though the Cincinnati stations carry commercials for them. I did, however, get to try Jack-In-The-Box when Phantom still lived in Tempe and I went to visit him. They're good stuff.

I'm a [censored]' junk food junkie, I love it all.
Something that you get a lot of here in this part of Canada is a lot of Lebanese food. Shawarmas are great. Donairs are awesome too (although strictly speaking their Greek) and a lot of places make the biggest, baddest, garliciest, meatiest, kick-[censored]ness donairs and shawarmas you'll ever have. Lebanese food is the best.
And I gotta say, Lebanese make the best pizza in the world, ever. The Italians may have invented it, but the Lebs perfected it. I'm thinking about learning Arabic just so I can go and hang out at some of the real authentic places and sip coffee and talk politics and religion.
Arabs are awesome, in general. Best people in the world.
[/ QUOTE ]
Wow. I'm feeling deprived & spoiled all at the same time. Mostly spoiled though.
Liv, I envy you your Lebanese joints, they sound awesome.
Id be happy to trade for some of the local Jack-In-the Box, Ive got two within a couple miles of home, four not far off the commute to work, and two of those are close enough to hit for lunch from work. There are four In-N-Outs that I know of and can get to without much difficulty. One near home, two near work, and the last only slightly out of the way on the way to several friends places. (Its also close to a Krispy Kreme if youre into that.) Also plentiful are McDonalds, Burger King, Carls Junior, and Wendys.
Given the ready availability of fast-food burgers, I think you can see why I might be interested in something more
distinctive. [u]Which is why Im looking forward to giving Redrum/Murder Burger a try.[u] Locally, Im partial to Kirks, Mojo Burger, & St. Johns. A bit further out is a place in the East Bay called Vals which is good when Im out that way.
Arwen, what you say about Boston Market is true as far as being something you can make yourself, but I think their point is that you dont have to make it yourself. I certainly appreciate not having to make real mashed potatoes every time Im in the mood for them. The other stuff is ok, and handy when youre pressed for time, but not something Id look for as a real treat.

True, but I'm kind of a food snob. Sure, I love fast food (probably more than I should) and there are some days that nothing but a Big Mac will cure what ails me. But if I want some mashed potatoes, I'll make the time to fix them. Theirs are probably instant anyway, and instant mashed potatoes are vile.

Not as far as I could tell. I don't care for the instant stuff either. Which is why I go to Boston Market to satisfy my mashed potato cravings. If they're not real, they're close enough. I could go to Marie Callendar's (another home-style restaurant), but their serving sizes are too big and the only time I've seen them offer the mashed potatoes seperately is around Thanksgiving.
Kind of a funny story. Way back when, I worked at the UC Berkeley Faculty Club. Sometimes teh sports teams have dinner at the club. On one occasion that I can recall, the basketball team was scheduled to have dinner & the head chef decided to do something nice. She made a HUGE serving of real mashed potatoes, and went to the extra effort of making them creamy smooth & lump-free. One of the players complained that they tasted funny, that they weren't like his Mom used to make. It turns out what he wanted was instant mashed potatoes... "Worse" yet, he wasn't the only one. 
Of course, that meant more for me when I took my club-provided dinner break! 
Oh... and sorry if I was being a jack-[censored] about the fast-food burgers guys. Really, what I want to say is that they're so thick on the ground around here, I take them for granted. So I find it interesting to hear how people feel about them when they're a relative rarity. In general, it makes me appreciate the things I take for granted more when I hear people for whom they are a novelty or new experience talk about them. Probably not the burger-chains though...

*falls to floor sobbing*
*recovers and pastes over the man teet part of the thread*
I have eaten quite a few types of burger, not that that is my particular favourite type of food. I will offer that in my opinion, In'n'Out and Sonic are overrated. They are superior to any of the usual offenders, but that's not saying much really .... and I know a few major meat eaters who disagree with me. Maybe because I do NOT eat meat that often, my palate is more discerning. Maybe i'm talking out my ... um ... sass ....
Murder Burger is superior, not least because it also offers ostrich burgers which are nummy. Their frenchfries are so superior as to be irresistable. I am so glad I don't live close enough to go there more than once a year. Even though I drive past Davis frequently (and TA always sighs and mumbles ... 'Murder burger' with that faraway look of longing), I usually manage to be in a time crunch. My *cough* sass has quite enough potential for expansion without that temptation.
I did stop at a place with the kids once, that had buffalo (very good), ostrich (also tasty), alligator (didn't try it), kangaroo (didn't try it), rabbit and something else ...all burgers. I did have kangaroo meat in Australia but couldn't quite face it in a burger.
Manoa .. I think Murder is a great idea and I will put it on the calendar with TA and see what we can do to make it. I look forward to it!
