Why cannot you get a fresh made to order hamburger with the proper ingredients on it. I have tried all the fast food hamburger joints out and NONE OF THEM CAN GET IT RIGHT. The hamburger is not freshly made but barely warm. You ask for onions and you do not get the onions. You ask for mayonnaise and the burger is passed to you so dry you almost choke on it. How hard is it for an employee to make a simple thing like a hamburger right. It is not rocket science and you do not have to have a high iq in order to make a simple thing like a hamburger. One time I ordered a hamburger with bacon on it and the bacon must have been over two days old. I know you are probably going to say to me, MAKE YOUR OWN YOU KNOW WHAT HAMBURGER, but sometimes I like to enjoy a fast food hamburger but to my past experiences those days of craving for a hot and juicy made to order hamburger days ARE LONG GONE. Maybe I will try some CHINESE FOOD, I bet this will be good and made to order and I do not think that if I do complain to them I do not think that they will be rude and ignorant to me. Bye for now and I hope that all you guys out there have much better luck with your take out food than I do. —FED UP

I didn’t know Tommy had auditioned for The Watchmen movie!

Sadly, the part went to Billy Crudup, but Tommy did a secondary audition….

The movie studio decided to go with CGI. Although I thought he fit the part perfectly.
“I have tried all the fast food hamburger joints…” Well there’s your problem right there, OP. If you want a burger made to your exacting specifications, go to an actual restaurant instead of a fast food place.
Try a real restaurant, if you’re too cheap for that, Harveys makes burgers to order, and you can watch them cook your burger and apply your toppings. Dumbass.
There is a Life Changing Experience of a Burger sold at a local restaurant near the South End. It’s of the Peanut Butter Burger variety, and I highly recommend. It’ll forever change your view of what it means to eat a burger. After tearing into it, you’ll soon discover that life is good and you have nothing left to complain about.
OB, you’re right. The best burger is the one you make yourself. So walk out to your BroilGrill, fire up the grill, and put on those homemade burgers. NO, not those cardboard shit patties out of a box from a grocery store that lazy people buy. You can BBQ year round.
PS – fast food places make shit food because fat people don’t complain….they just inhale that crap for all three meals a day.
What do you expect from a fast food joint? The only time I go there is when I’m drunk and my palate is all fucked up anyway.
If you don’t want to make your own burger for some reason, you could try ordering one at an actual restaurant, even just for take-out. At least then you’d be able to complain/send it back if it isn’t hot and as ordered.
If you want a good burger, I’d say go to the restaurant formerly known as Opa and order a lamb burger. It is made from actual ground lamb, not frozen pre-made crap.
On another note, anyone have any good leads for a restaurant that serves burgers made from ground beef and not the frozen manufactured crap?
And if you’re concerned about price, you shouldn’t be. I paid $10 for a cheeseburger combo with poutine and coke the other day at Wendizzles. It wouldn’t be much more at a restaurant.
Like most said, try a restaurant, not fast food. Even if Gordon Ramsey prepared food using fast food ingredients, it would likely taste the same. If you’re crunched for time, you could probably order a burger from a restaurant before your lunch and then go pick it up! Some people seriously lack problem solving skills these days…
For a seriously good burger, Sydelle’s on Rocky Lake Drive in Bedford (just by Duke St.) has a gut busting homemade beauly. Fresh cut fries too. Actually all their food is really good. A bit out of the way for city folk though.
So you are going to change to Chinese food in the hopes of more freshness? They make their food days in advance and it sits until someone orders it. Smorgesboard mentality.
Chinese food is about as fresh as hockey gear….
when i go to one of these places, and get a guck burger, with shit on it i didn’t want. i take a bite, and get sick(purposely) all over the fucking counter. then let into them about a person having food allergies. you wanna see their fucking faces. and i never pay for a fucking thing. am i cheap, nope. but either you get my order right, or you pay for it. and no, i do not get another burger.
was at racdonny’s one day, order simple plain burger, just onions only. how hard is that to fuck up? it came to me, went and sat down, opened it, took a bite, and lo, it was full of fucking shit.
i never order anything with crap on it that i do not want. told one idiot, that they should try working in a garage, and go to have a tire fixed( plug), well what would you do, if i put a whole brand new set of tires on the car, would you pay for them, no, then don’t put shit i, or other people don’t want, on my fucking food. rant ended.
As I said before – LS you may not be an asshole in real life but you play one on LTWWB…
Even pizza joint burgers are pretty tasty, and I believe some of em use fresh ground beef. I think I’ll have a burger tonight! Just gotta buy some buns. Someone remind me later.
Double bacon cheeseburger from BK is pretty damn awesome too. I’ll never eat another whopper again.
If you have a car, take a drive to Holt’s Take Out, 10 clicks past Exhibition Park on the Prospect Road – I’ve tried a lot of burgers but these are homemade patties – their regular cheeseburger platter has 2 patties and fried onions are no probelmo. Whenever the relatives visit Hillbilly Hollow, they always ask about the kick-ass burgers down the road. My sister almost had an orgasm eating her burger, swearing she hadn’t tasted a burger like that in 30 years. Fairly cheap, too. It is worth every juicy bite.
I haven’t eaten at a fast food chain for years – every burger tastes like corrugated paper with mayo and a tissue of cheese.
I just got back from the BEST burger meal I’ve eaten… well, ever really.
above the lower deck there is a magical place… a market of beer….
and their acadian burger was just amazing.
it’s a 1/2 lb of succulent sirloin chuck… not that frozen patty shit.
it was SOOOOO good…. grainy mustard, sliced brie, back bacon, caramelized onions, and the soup today was chipotle corn chowder.
I would literally kill a few people for the recipe.
smokey but not much heat… and you could still taste the chowder.
Such perfect balance.
if ANYONE is around downtown and wants an amazing meal… seriously, go try it.
I don’t know how long the chowder will last.
*taking notes*
I’m pretty sure I just came reading that description.
That sounds out of this world Zed! OUTOFTHISWORLD! Mmmmmm
It was… I’m debating going back for supper…
it was THAT good.
no word of a lie.
if you’re around… spend the money and try it.
you won’t be disappointed.
“Maybe I will try some CHINESE FOOD, I bet this will be good and made to order and I do not think that if I do complain to them I do not think that they will be rude and ignorant to me. “
There are any number of Seinfeld episodes that put the lie to that particular thesis Ace, but go ahead and try. Take someone who speaks Mandarin along with you for maximum comedic effect.
The place out in Bedford where you can get a BURGER made of CHICKEN has really good cheeseburgers.
The Brooklyn Warehouse’s burger is absolutely amazing.
I’ve never been dissapointed by Curly’s. If & when you go, be hungry, be very hungry =) they’re licensed too.

Always liked Curly’s, had my first donair egg roll there too. There are more than a few good restaurants out Hants County way. If you’re ever in Kennetcook and want some good stick to your ribs food go to Sammys Kennetcook cafe.
the westcliff diner has great homemade burgers with grilled onions. very reasonably priced=cheap
Curly’s has really gone down hill since the Bakery closed.
Those were the days, but its still better than the arches , harv’s the red head’s place etc.
There’s Chinese food in halifax?
i know this is late but zed you’re right that place is fucking delicious. i went there for the first time like a month ago and didnt want to leave. just wanted to order everything on the menu
I stand by Darrell’s. The burger itself is actually tasty, and all the delicious shit they put on ’em….MmmmMmmm!!!
Can’t wait for my next visit gonna git me a peanutbutterBURGER!!!
Darrell’s is a frozen patty. Automatic boo-urns. Just carry around a little PB packet and go some place good.
I just went for lunch again…
just to make sure last time wasn’t a one-off.
YUM. Chipotle Smoker burger was amazing… shoestring onion rings ON THE BURGER, chipotle havarti, balsamic glaze… just awesome.
They have my vote for best burger, hands down and it’s gonna be tough to beat.
Sadly, the soup was broccoli/cheddar and I just wasn’t adventurous enough to gamble half my meal that I’d like broccoli soup. I’m betting it was delicious though.
Their chef knows his shit.
