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

btw, you and SDF both need to get out of my head, for real. I pictured this in my mind when reading utee's post and routinely echo the Dude's apathetic comeback in his gif.
Creepy!

Q tonic is $4 for 4 cans or $5 for 4 bottles. You can get a liter size too from time to time. I buy it at Meijer it is usually a buck higher at a liquor store.

My favorite distillery, Great Lakes distillery makes its own tonic and I mix it 6 parts club soda one part tonic syrup. Good stuff. Not available in Texaco.

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

I like my beer warm enough to be liquid.

In n Out really sucks. If you like that thin burger patty style, there's a local chain in Austin called P. Terry's that actually makes good ones, where the meat has flavor, and you aren't expected to drown it in salad dressing to make it taste bearable. You can also get grilled onions and grilled jalapenos, or grilled green chile, which is all way better than those banana peppers or whatever it is that InO offers up. Those things suck out loud.

But ultimately, it's still all just fast food burgers, and I definitely agree with OAM's sentiment that such food has a definitive ceiling and homemade is way better than fast food. I rarely eat fast food and that's part of the reason, there's just nothing at a fast food place that I can't make at home and do it much, much better. And for burgers at least, it doesn't take considerably longer to do it at home.

That's why, for us, fast food is pretty much just road trip food.

So, the wife's sciatica is not sciatica if that makes sense. Her hip replacement has deteriorated rather badly apparently, so they operate on the 12th to replace her ball and cone with new and better stuff and clear out what they term "pseudo-tumors" (inflammation around the joint). I may have to cook, wash dishes, wash clothes, and make the bed for a day or two.

Way to step up there, my friend!

Sorry to hear about the issues, here's hoping they're able to clean out and replace everything to get her up and running again.

I dunno I am definitely of the opinion that the best burgers are thin, full of char, on a toasted bun, with some sort of creamy spread, and while I can make that at home the restaurants have a pretty easy time of it.

utee94 · « **Reply #207 on:** November 06, 2019, 01:06:59 PM »

Real restaurants make plenty of great burgers.

Fast food restaurants, not so much.

I'm a big fan of a thin diner-style patty that actually has flavor on its own. I can do without the creamy spreads, that's pretty gross, but a little mustard works. I haven't ever had a fast food burger that approaches good diner burgers, and then there's the steak chophouse style thick burgers that are also quite delicious and zero fast food restaurants I can think of really even attempt that style.

But still I can do each and every one of those better at home. It's not difficult at all. But I actually enjoy cooking, other folks don't, and I understand that.

If they are griddling fresh beef, what is the difference?

Lots of differences. Restaurants, especially fast food ones, tend to season down to the lowest common denominator. So their food ends up bland, by design.

Also, quality control. Fast food restaurants are making dozens or scores of burgers at a time. I'm making 4 patties for my family, or maybe 10-12 if we have guests. I'm able to take much more care in forming, seasoning, and cooking those patties, than any restaurant can.

For any home cook that knows what he's doing, it's not difficult at all to make better food than a restaurant can. We've actually discussed this concept quite a bit on this forum over the years (decades).

My brisket is better than Aaron Franklin's-- not because I'm a better cook, but because I'm typically only cooking one or two briskets at a time, I'm selecting the meat myself, I'm doing all the trimming myself, I'm controlling the temperature on a much smaller pit that has fewer hot spots, I'm checking for doneness at more carefully calculated times, I'm pulling it at exactly the right time, I'm letting it rest for the right amount of time, and perhaps most importantly, I'm slicing it for my family and friends' pleasure, with absolutely zero worries about meat costs and yields, so I can easily toss the bits that don't meet my quality standard, while restaurants will often serve them anyway because they have to worry about yield and profit margins.
