There is a 100% chance that if you ask for a specific condiment, they are going to try give you a house aioli sauce instead.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Enough with the aioli and the gosh darn truffle oil in the fries.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

More for me then lol

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Those are the exact toothpicks... Every time

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Nah they're those little skewers used to hold the burger together. Might work ok as a toothpick though.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And they don’t sell Coke or Pepsi just some soft drinks in a beer bottle

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I felt that in the kombuchas

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Expensive burgers are like expensive pizzas, absolute waste of money.

It's a snack food that's easy to make and other than the meat right now, cheap as shit.

You can probably make it better at home for a fraction of the price

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You've probably never eaten a real good pizza then

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep that's gotta be it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

it's a snack food

If your point is that a food being unhealthy means it's unworthy of having effort put in to make a high quality dish then I have to disagree lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

You need a 400 degrees (or so) oven to make good quality pizzas. Don't tell me you can fit one of these into your flat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You misunderstand my comment. I'm saying go out for a pizza but there's no need to buy a 40$ pizza when it's basically the same as a 20$, since they both cost 5$ to make.

Pizza and burgers are ridiculously simple and there's not much variation in ingredients. Certainly not enough to justify a 100% price difference.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Where I live, the pizzas go from €10 (cheap) to €20 (expensive)

The €20 ones use dough imported from Italy, whereas the €10 ones definetly taste cheaper.

I cannot speak for burgers, but pizzas definetly do have range where I live - and I'm considering getting a nice quality oven at some point, to make the €20 types myself

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm sorry, but importing dough from Italy instead of making it fresh locally, sounds either like a scam to charge more or just an inept pizza maker....

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe they are in Switzerland.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't really care where the pizza dough comes from, or who makes it - it's the tasty pizzas I keep coming back for.

In my route there I pass by 3-4 pizza places. When you got a good product, I wanna drive for it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nah mate.

I'd take the Pepsi challenge with cheap vs expensive pizza any day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

? Was this a joke? If so, quite low key

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You need 800 to 900 F degrees for a good neapolitan pizza so it's not dry like most pizza in a regular oven. I'm into pizza dough making and can only do it when my friend let's me go over to his house lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That tracks. 400 degrees is around 750 F

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most ovens go up to 500F+, so get an oven steel and place on a lower rack, get a pizza stone and place on the upper rack about 8-12" above. Warm the oven on the highest for about an hour, heat trapped between the steel/stone can get well over 600+. That is enough to make a good pizza for home ovens.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

400 degrees is 750 F

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I don't know if I agree with the pizza part. The difference between a $5 pizza and a $20-40 pizza is insane. However, I do agree making it yourself is definitely cheaper and just as good (if not better because you're making it for yourself).

I agree with the connection you're making with the analogy, regardless. Burger is burger.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you have more than you need to live - you "waste" it on stuff that makes you feel better. Otherwise what is the point?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Invest it and make more of it or invest it into durable goods that make you feel better.

Or, hell, buy the individual ingredients and make a burger that rivals the best burger you'd ever get at a restaurant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Investing sounds like a completely unnecessary step.if eating a fancy burger makes a person a bit more happy -why not?

Also you are sometimes are just not in the mood for cocking. Why have extra money if you don't spend it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah I mean do whatever makes you happy. But unless you know you're going to die soon, investing extra money so you have it to spend later or pass it down makes some people like me happy.

Also, who's not ever in the mood for some good cocking

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, but there are also people who don't care to much for having more money and want spend it as long as they are live on fun stuff. No one is in the wrong here.

I love cooking but sometimes I can't be bothered.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's why I said do whatever. Just giving a different view

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I read that as docking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I, for one, am always in the mood for cocking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can make it better at home, easily, cheaper.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Brewpub starter pack

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The burgers are good, but absolutely not worth the price

Pro tip: check out your local grocery store's hot food bar

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Any hipster "artisan" boutique food place.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Chalkboard-shaped plate + mason jar glass

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

and the burgers are always shaped more like meatballs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Should have shown a very minimalist sized burger and a fun-shaped stupid plate replacement.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wait, so you are telling me Kyle Hill is actually working in a burger place?
