We had lunch at a new place nearby called "Farmburger". It's in the basement of a Whole Foods. It was quite good, and they have solid beer selection.

Service was excellent, and that matters.

I've found that if it's quite good and you can get a solid beer, it's not fast food

It was counter service, and the food came out fast, faster than I've been served at McD's et al.

I gave them a nice review. It was pretty crowded, another good sign usually.

The Whole Foods upstairs has numerous dining options and a beer bar, where they do not accept tips. We go sometimes and get whatever we want, sushi, from their buffet, a rice bowl, just about anything, and have a $4-5 beer at the bar. It's the largest WF in the SE we're told, it is massive. And parking is free.

Fever Tree is good. I like Q tonic the best.

I definitely think In n Out is worth their hype. among the better burgers you can buy from a fast food joint for sure. That said their french fries are very meh. I like Whataburger just fine myself but Texans are strangely biased towards them, I don't get it. Simply comparing burger to burger they don't even come close to In n Out, however I'll definitely give Whataburger the credit for having superior fries and a much more diverse menu (breakfast and chicken items).

Completely disagree. In n Out is a thin, tasteless burger patty and they don't even have jalapenos. Everyone tells me that I will only understand it if I order it animal style. Are you kidding me? Salad dressing all over my burger? That's disgusting. In short, you are wrong, sir!

And I know it's not good but all admit to liking white castle. I'm actually excited about the one that opened up in Scottsdale but since I hate crowds more than I like White Castle I'm going to wait until the hype settles down however long that takes.

This tells me all I need to know about your opinion of In n Out vs. Whataburger.

Good day, sir!

Cool thanks for the recommendation. My i s c & a aggie wife tends to do the tonic shopping so I'll let her know. I'm certainly happy to try it out!

Fever Tree is $6 for 4 small bottles around here. I tried it, did not think it was better than Schwepps or whatever. But my taste buds are kind of eroded.

Yeah it's expensive. But it uses cane sugar instead of HFCS, which is what Schwepps and Canada Dry use, so there's that.

Cincydawg · « **Reply #191 on:** November 05, 2019, 05:11:05 PM »

I don't find there to be any taste difference between standard HCFC and table sugar. Folks would rave about "Mexican Coke" but it tasted like regular Coke to me, I'd just never had it in white powder form before.

Sounds like the Fleckman signed an extension

I've never tried the white powdered kind, but I can definitely tell the difference between Mexican Coca Cola (cane sugar) and American Coca Cola (HFCS). Real sugar tastes better IMO.

But, I know people who actually prefer the flavor of diet drinks with aspartame or whatever, so there's no accounting for taste.

Boo, sir! Boo!

I gave my defense of In & Out previously, and I won't repeat it. You can go and be educated there: https://www.cfb51.com/big-ten/last-breaths-of-a-dying-season-soc-10618/msg73423/#msg73423

I have yet to try a burger chain that's new to me and be overly impressed. I think burgers (unless they're made at home) have a certain ceiling and In-n-Out, Culver's, Whataburger, et all are good/not great. I'm not sure how a chain burger joint could be great.

But the thing with In-n-Out (and I assume the new White Castle) is that even if I'm driving by and want a burger, it's packed. It doesn't correlate to the quality of the product. It's hype, for whatever reason. I'd rather have a double stack from Wendy's or a Whopper from BK than wait 20 extra minutes in a drive-thru line.

But if I want a burger I'll actually savor, I make it at home.
