Popsicles are gross. (Too sweet and too cold.)

Lettuce has no place on a hamburger.

Brie is the worst cheese.

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 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.

Ketchup is disgusting on everything. One (sometimes) exception is a side of ketchup for French fries. But I think even that is overrated.

Since it opened in Arlington's Westover Shopping Center about 30-35 years ago, I have eaten only Five Guys cheeseburgers -- and those only occasionally. I always get the same thing: small cheeseburger, lettuce, ketchup, and pickles on the side

There is no other way to eat a hamburger than with cheese, lettuce, and ketchup

I am sorry that your momma didn't teach you better.


I meant "Westmont shopping center"

If you equate limiting carbs to having an eating disorder, your relationship to food is probably disordered too.


Yep those darn sweet potatoes! Chickpeas! Fava beans! Oranges! Carrots! Barley! Lentils! Farro! I may even have ice cream a few times this week to help cool me down after dinner. Soooo disordered!


Maybe not disordered, but wow, you sure worked hard to know a lot! Yes, beans, legumes, and fancy grains have carbs! Oh you are so sophisticated! Brava! Surely people looking to limit carbs are referring to fava beans (haven't seen those fresh in two decades), barley, and farro, not fries, bread, beer, and eggo waffles.


I don't think you know what a carb is. Maybe you're talking about processed food? They are not similes.

Carbs are what encompass the diet of the healthiest populations on the planet, by and large. If you can afford it, go to Italy and off the beaten path. Fresh raw fava beans are delicious. Maybe even have it on some fresh bread with olive oil.


Raw fava beans? They contain high levels of the toxin lectin, which is only destroyed by cooking. Do they really eat raw fava beans in Italy? That is bizarre.

Have you heard of ARFID? I'm not a shitty parent, I literally need professionals to help my kid eat. Must be nice to be you, head in the sand.

Same here!!!

I think all seafood is gross and don't understand why people eat it.

I don't like a lot of Asian restaurant food because it tastes like grease to me. Same if someone tries to invite me something they have fried at home, I taste the oil and the smell alone makes me want to throw up.


How exactly is greasy cheeseburger different from greasy Asian food??


DP. I love Asian restaurant food but I know the amount of oil used in cooking it is often insane. That’s what makes it so delicious. Not really the same as the grease of a fatty hamburger patty or two and a buttery bun.
