Well, I survived another Saint Patrick's Day

It works well.  Obviously, you don't have a lot, but a couple of slices...

D/N/T Australia when it comes to BBQs and grilling meat. We had centuries of isolation and no decent TV programmes to perfect this shit.

Are they at least pickled beets? And for the love of all that is holy, are they please NOT sweet pickled beets? I am, for the sake of my sanity and appetite, going to assume for now that they are a preparation of beetroot that is simply not available in the United States, because anything you might buy in a store here DOES NOT go on a burger.

(BBQ is derived from a Caribbean word, so if anyone gets to claim cultural supremacy at it, I'm gonna hand that hat to ECH... although my ancestors in the Carolinas whoop some pretty sassy BBQ ass as well.)

[Cain]

Pickled and sliced.  Anything else would be....not so good.

[East Coast Hustle]

Beets? 

On a burger?

You people are sick.

Foster Burger puts a slice of pickled beet on theirs and it's pretty fucking dope. Also they have alcoholic milkshakes. ALCOHOLIC MILKSHAKES!

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Kahlua? Amaretto?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

But... not sweet pickled? Right? RIGHT?

Frankly, I'm fondest of cucumber pickles on my burgers, and the one thing I've had so far that I simply can't stand are the sweet-pickled onions that County Cork puts on their burgers.

My favorite burger in town currently is the Fox burger. Just meat, blue cheese, bacon, onion, lettuce, and tomato, pickle on the side.

Pause has a pretty damn good burger too.

[East Coast Hustle]

I gotta admit, it takes a supreme act of will for me to even order a burger around here when I can walk to An Xuyen and get a couple of ridiculously good bahn mi with lemongrass grilled pork for $3 apiece. I've told Foster Burger they'll get alot more of my money if they let me have alcoholic milkshakes to go.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I have an irrational aversion to An Xuyen because of a long story. But yeah, that's some good shit, and cheap.

No, not sweet pickled.  I have a strong aversion to cucumber and gherkin pickles, so as a substitute, it works really well. 

Also, mushrooms should be considered in a hamburger.  I had some when in Switzerland, and it was a damn good burger anyway, but the mushrooms were a nice addition.

I like mushrooms, cheese, and bacon on my burgers, but sometimes all the extra grilled stuff makes it too greasy.

[Freeky]

You guys are fucking assholes.  The only decent burgers in this town are a half hour drive away and on average four or five dollars overpriced.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Oh, we pay through the nose. The Fox burger is $9.

Alleyway has a decent burger for $6 but it doesn't touch Fox or Pause.

[Cain]

In Switzerland, you could easily end up paying 25 francs for a burger.

Note: the Swiss franc and the dollar are equivalent in value.

OK, now, that's sheer madness. Unless all their food costs twice as much as all our food. It makes no sense because even if you go high-end, all of the ingredients for a burger are relatively cheap.

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

I had a $15 burger in new york once, it was fucking worth it.
