And I can't for the life of me understand how mayo became a burger condiment. Why does a greasy/juicy burger need extra oil? Burger needs a little bit of acidic mustard, that's about it.

I don't see the point of a hamburger without cheese. American or fancier. The cheese brings out the flavour!

Gdi now I'm craving a cheeseburger.

If it’s high quality meat and a good bun, a cheese, especially a fake cheese like American, just takes away from the flavor.

I read that chefs believe a high-quality burger shouldn't be dressed with cheese or ketchup. But of course that's not what most of us are getting.

Maybe they “believe” that in order to justify charging $50+ for some ridiculous foie gras burger. But I guarantee, the vast majority of American chefs will happily gobble up an American cheese and ketchup covered burger any day. Remember, Shake Shack was started by Danny Meyer of Gramercy Tavern fame.

I wouldn’t conflate business decisions with what’s tasty. The fake orange cheese is burned into the masses’ psyche, plus you get to charge $1 up charge for a slice that costs 1 cent.

Counterpoint - filet is steak for people who really don't like steak.

Fortunately, there are some new, less traditional dishes that are acceptable on a Thanksgiving spread and less flavorless/gross/overly sweet.

Mine is the absolute worst part of Thanksgiving dinner is the turkey.

Sad but true, and we have allowed the USDA, FDA and all those other "food" agencies to brainwash us. I have friends that will argue until they are blue in the face how we "need" milk for calcium and so much other nonsense, smdh

NP. One of the only places that American cheese really works is on a burger. Blue cheese is great as well. Cheddar is too greasy, Swiss is too bland. A burger without cheese, unless you’re lactose intolerant, is just sad.

Olives are gross. They ruin the flavor of anything they are in.

Me either. Do they think mammals are just garbage of the land?

There are a lot better Japanese foods.

There are no real authentic Japanese food anymore. This might be a good thing, because most people cannot handle the real Japanese cuisine. it's an acquired taste like that funky natto beans, and fishy flavor infused into everything. They call it umami.

Sushi jumped the shark (pun intended ) when LA started serving the California Rolls, Dragon Rolls. Avocado, Mayo, Shirachia sauce are not Japanese.

Raw onions destroy every dish they're in.

Yes, even pico and other salsas with raw onions.

I make amazing pico without the onions that everyone always raves about and requests I bring when we do BBQs.
