Pffft. I'll do that as soon as the sun rises in the west or Trump doesn't lie.

Anybody know of a fast food chain that does a lamb burger? I can't think of one. Secretly I'm grateful.

Now that you remind me, you're damn right. YH is a 5 minute walk from us and we go there all the time, but I hate their beef burgers and totally forgot about the lamb. Thanks man. Hope your mouth feels better soon.

The Santa Barbara on grilled sourdough with guac is a damn good burger for 6 bucks and change.

I like the portabella char. Really good mushrooms. I also like the fresh pepper bar.

I haven't had a Habbit burger in years. One of the best there is. Great hamburger stands in Goleta and on State Street.

The one on State St was the very first one I went too, and thought it was fantastic. Cheap, and grilled onions!

We had a Habit Burger right next to campus here in Sharjah. Lasted about a year. Couldn’t compete with McDonalds two stores down, I guess. No accounting for taste.

We tried Graze.

So gross.

Stay away.

Even the odd sweet sauce that tastes like Wishbone French Dressing? I'm not sure what they're going for with that one.

And what's up with the big, thin, soggy piece of red lettuce?

My biggest issue, though, is just the complete lack of effort in thinking through the basic structure, taste, and texture of a burger.

Google maps tells me they also serve those weird bespoke sodas. That’s always a strike against in my book. They always have a weird nasty aftertaste.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Sat Aug 03, 2019 7:32 pm

Also, if you look at their own photo of their burger from their ads and websites, it's accurate.

The soda fountain is the only thing I like about Graze. The burger buns they use are constantly getting stuck to the roof of my mouth; it’s bizarre. The flavor of the burger itself it just okay and the fries are eh, even with the dipping sauces.

My current favorite burger in town, and not sure this really qualifies as fast food, but sit down casual is Sullivans; not steakhouse Sullivan’s but the ice cream parlor/diner Sullivan’s at Oracle and Orange Grove.

They get their ground beef from Dickmans, which is in the same shopping center. They use the perfect sesame seed bun and a thick slice of cheese; I like American. It’s classic and delicious. Also their steak fries are the best in town. The ice cream is great too.

Nice—right up the street from me. I’ll give it a shot!

My favorite fast food burger. It doesn't fight your mouth and it's not so big as to put me in a food coma afterward.

I drove by this location Wed. night and they were still doing training, opened today. All the Californians that moved to Colorado in line it sounds like LOL.

We live in a society where people like to be apart of fan fare. They see long lines and think wow something must be really big here I want to be apart of it

Somehow this happens wherever In n Outs get placed and I will never understand it.

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Fri Nov 20, 2020 9:35 pm

I remember in 2007 when In n Out reached Tucson. I waited a month or two and then went. But I'd had it before in California and Phoenix by then.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 6:24 am

I can’t imagine sitting in my car for 14 hours and at the end of it all I’d get is a burger that’s just ok.

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:50 am

In n Out burgers are far better than just ok, really good actually. But I wouldn't sit in my car for 14 hours for the best meal on earth.

I sat in my car last night for 30 minutes at thr lone AZ White Castle in Scottsdale.

So not worth it.

Not sure what Gen Z social media person they had write that but it's obviously not going over well. They were attempting to announce their big program to get women into the culinary and chef world and inspire women to be chefs since 80% of chefs are men

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Tue Mar 09, 2021 9:27 am

They ended up deleting it. But they knew that having that one phrase be the entirety of one tweet would be a super awful look and the resulting backlash would be great for getting people talking about them for once.

That corner center is turning into a pretty solid corner. Habit Burger, Starbucks, Daddy-O'S Grill, and a Sprouts.

White Castle is an 8 out of 10. Fight me.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Mon May 03, 2021 9:31 am

I like White Castle on occasion, especially in the middle of the night. Although having to drive 25 miles to Scottsdale isn't fun. I like the jalapeno burger. The wait time when White Castle opened in Scottsdale was similar to Orlando wait time. Have to wait about 1/2 year before it settles down.

I remember when In-N-Out opened in Tucson. It was an incredible wait time.
