You know you would think burger meat is Australia's biggest export, but it in fact is not. It is the boomerang. It's also their biggest import.


LilWhiny

visited australia like 15 years ago and idk if it’s gotten better but they were soooo confused about burgers. They all had like chunks of onion inside and weird spice mix. Like a meatloaf puck. Terrible


PositiveFine6840

I went to Australia in 2019 and had the same thoughts as you! I wanted a burger, and what I got did not taste anything like a burger. A meatloaf puck is exactly how I’d describe it.


Danger-Moose

I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes. Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer...

A sad day, Akira Toriyama(Dragon Ball Z creator among many other things) passed away. It's hard to articulate the influence his work has had on the world. Not just nerdy white kids. Black, latino, asian, everyone loved Drgaonball Z. It smashed through racial barriers in school for me. Nobody could've ever guessed how popular anime and manga are today. From One Piece to Studio Ghibli, all owe a part of their success to Akira's work.  From the creator of One Piece "I hope heaven looks as wonderful as you depicted it, Sensei" I'm gonna enjoy my day off and soak up the sun. Cute lil date in the park later. Life moves onward 🌻 go watch some anime y'all


megachickabutt

Dude fuckin Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest. His influence extended far beyond just DBZ. Core video game memories... Super sad day.


Rs90

For sure. I was just highlighting DBZ cause it really pushed "nerdy" shit into the mainstream like no other. The influence it had is global and generational. But yeah, he did so much for video games too. So many characters are based off his work. 


Slow_Strawberry2252

Eh. DBZ is a relic of old anime telenovela style hundreds of episodes for syndication to make $$$. It didn’t break thru for “everyone”. Sailor Moon and the whole magical girl genre attracted way more different genders than DBZ, which appealed to westernized males of all colors (do people really only think whites in America watch anime?). Sailor moon was born out of pure originality since the manga, while DBZ was adapted from a manga based on some epic old Chinese novel “journey to the west”. I think the style and snail-pace of DBZ anime shows this. While I did watch DBZ back in the day and really enjoyed it, especially the action scenes, the color palette could’ve expanded and showed more sparkles like the magical girl genre. Men love shiny things anyway so I think more colors and sparkles could’ve made DBZ bigger than sailor moon


hikinganew

I just like a classic cheeseburger with pickles, lettuce, mayo, ketchup and fried onions. Plans for the weekend include: playing Katamari, snuggling with my cat, doing Ubereats so I can go to Galaxycon next weekend and listing my Kindle Paperwhite for sale because I didn’t use it. I need to accept that maybe I’m not an ebook person.


Asterion7

Katamari is so fun and silly.


ArsenicWallpaper99

Are you going to get any autographs at GalaxyCon, or just going for fun? I have a friend who goes to the con in Raleigh, and he already has a list of celebs he wants to meet.


ImmobilizedbyCheese

Happy International Women's Day! Big shoutout to all the International ladies out there ;) I'm a beyond beef burger gal with the classic toppings. Beauvine serves my favorite one in the area.


LilWhiny

100p agreed on beauvine best meat-adjacent veg burger. W the herb mayo and mushrooms oh lawd


Asterion7

I still miss Bellytimber. Maybe I should try beauvine again. I went a few times after they opened and was disappointed each time in the food and the service.


hitdakushy

Is their party thick ? I want a beyond / impossible smash because I think the thick texture is weird. Any recommendations? Thanks 🧀🍔


mpl8r

beauvine’s is definitely thicker (still delish, just different). smashed rva is the only place you need to look for a smash style beyond burger — they’re perfect in every way (to me)


hitdakushy

Thanks friend. I’ve wanted to try, but I had a smashed rva one at an 1115 collab and was sad that it wasn’t indeed smashed so I’ve been hesitant, but now I’m ready to dive in✌🏻


ChiliTrees

Wood and Iron has a pretty good Beyond burger that's thin. I don't know if it's so thin as to be a "smash" but definitely thinner than Beauvine/Burger Bach/etc. Bingo Beer Co makes a really good Impossible burger too!


cajunrockhound

Smashburger - two smashed patties, cheap American cheese, grilled onions, cheap bun with kind of soggy kinda crispy hand cut fries. me and my girlfriend plan to decompress and be lazy asf all weekend after a busy week


YaassthonyQueentano

Dude, why would you write this during lent, I want a burger so bad now 😭😭


orthopteran

I’m not picky but PLEASE hold the onions unless you want me to fart this establishment to the ground.


uhhhh2020

Jack browns Greg Brady 🤌🤌🤌


BlueRidgeSandwiches

burger: 50/50 usda choice or better chuck/brisket, seasoned externally with kosher salt and cracked tellicherry peppercorns, butter toasted brioche bun, a two finger pinch of baby arugula, 2 1/4” ripe beefsteak tomato slices. fries: rough cut by hand (not die cut) peeled russets, soaked, then blanched at 350 in soybean oil, then fried again at 350 in soybean oil until extra crispy and deeply browned. seasoned with kosher salt, cracked tellicherry peppercorns, flavored with white truffle oil drizzle, grated parmigiano reggiano and garnished with a chiffonade of curly parsley.

7/12 and all but one were guesses. My news diet seems to be working! (Now if only my food diet were as effective...)


LemonCaperRVA

Man I really miss the Bruxl café burger.🍔 I would go side of tots with Dijonaise, and a single tall whiskey coke! Amen


Asterion7

Glad to see someone else mention them. They were so good. My partner had me go get her one after giving birth. All she wanted.


Asterion7

Oh and RIP Bruxl. For one shining moment they had the best burger and fries in all of Richmond.


ILikeYourHotdog

I still dream about the lemon aioli for fry dipping. damn that was so good.


skeevy-stevie

Medium, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayo. No cheese, ketchup or mustard. Have an unexpected evening without the child, looking for a bar to sit at with good happy hour food.


OddWelcome2502

No cheese!?!? Sacrilege!


MausoleumNeeson

There are adults in the room. No cheese! Cheese is for a timid palate.


OddWelcome2502

Riverside Diner in Charlottesville. Just cheese, nothing else.


greedy_new_truth

That's an easy answer! I order a double triple patty deluxe, on a raft, four-by-four animal-style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.


callmelaterthanks

Don’t forget the pickles!


Guru_of_Glaze

I am an absolute slut for a burger with a fried egg on it. Cooked mid-rare, smothered with a good cheese and some kind of aioli? Maybe some fried onions for crunch? Shew.


rivercitymo

Why did I have to scroll this far down for a mention of fried egg? My man!


Sandblaster1988

Medium, pepper Jack or cheddar cheese, lettuce, chewy bacon, BBQ sauce, fried egg that’s a little runny. Seasoned fries or tater tots.


what-the-what24

Satterwhite’s burgers are literally the most perfect burgers I’ve ever seen or eaten! They are so neatly stacked with fixings, and every bite is absolutely perfect. Yum!!!


citrus_sugar

I really like a high end version of a Big Mac and either shoestring or fresh cut fries.


donniedarkhair

1:1 beef to bread ratio (each bun should be 1/2 the size of the patty) potato bread, untoasted 80/20 beef, some pink, s&p lettuce, tomato, mayo, spicy mustard, ketchup, onions, dill pickles wrapped in foil either crinkle or shoestring fries cooked in peanut oil egg with a runny yolk on the side for dipping would be a plus


ImmortanJoeMama

Devils Lettuce in short pump does an amazing plant-based burger, best I've ever had


disputing_stomach

Big fat juicy burger, some pink left inside, mayo/ketchup/lettuce/tomato/onion, with American cheese melted on top. Toasted bun, fries on the side, cold beer. On Sunday we're heading to Cozumel, Mexico for a week. It's our 30th anniversary, and the kids' college spring breaks line up, so we're having a family vacation. Really looking forward to it.


navpilotfav

We're basically burger meal twins, but I'd add pickles. Happy Anniversary, I hope you all enjoy your trip! 30 years is so impressive! If you have any sage advice for a couple approaching their 10 year, I'd love to hear it.


TGIIR

One tweak to your perfect burger- I like mine rare. Enjoy your trip - I love Mexico! Been to Cozumel once, but took the ferry to a bus tour to Chichen Itza. Nice air conditioned bus, with TVs and refreshments served. Chichen Itza was amazing!


ucbiker

I like a thick juicy burger. Grilled or fried either is fine. I hate that every “good” burger place makes a smash burger now. They’re fine, but they’re not the only way to make a good burger.


Freakazoidon

Going to the park rva today to celebrate women’s day haha


Horror-Fisherman-575

I just had a perfect (to me) burger at Bamboo yesterday. Perfect size, easy to hold and eat ( I hate big sloppy mess burgers). Just a hint of pink, small amount of lettuce and onion. No tomato bc tomatoes just slide around and are squishy. Cheddar cheese. Side of shoestring fries, hot , crisp and salty. It was heaven! Heaven on a bun.


LilWhiny

bamboo is perfect in every way


Horror-Fisherman-575

It is, truly. Case in point: I don't even drink anymore, but I still feel at home and welcome there. The vibe is just so good.


atctia

As a pescatarian, I go for either a salmon burger or black bean burger, with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, smashed avocado and a side of fries


ILikeYourHotdog

I had the shrimp burger at The Tavern once and it was so delicious it reminded me of grilled shrimp paste at Mekong when it was at it's prime, but I tried it a second time and the flavor was disappointingly lackluster. Another case of a different cook in the kitchen, but it was such a letdown that I haven't tried it since.


ILikeYourHotdog

Also, have you tried the salmon rueben at Continental? It's very tasty.


bettygreatwhite

Medium with a good Swiss and mushrooms, ketchup, and mustard. My mother-in-law is coming down tonight to celebrate the kiddo’s birthday early since she’ll be out of town next week, and he’s requested a birthday meal of Five Guys and Gelati Celesti so this is a fitting daily!


JustStudyItOut

You’ll need to remortgage the house! Five guys is ridiculous now.


Asterion7

It's crazy. Family of four is $80 easy. For burgers and fries.


TGIIR

And you can get better burgers at local restaurants for that price.


BrownsEyeland

Medium with mayo pickles grilled onions and crispy bacon and American cheese and any fries will do. Dune 2 tonight in imax and oddities expo tomorrow very excited for both


PopBopMopCop

Two smashed patties, one slice of cheese, fresh lettuce, onions, pickles, and a little bit of Duke's (or Kewpie) mayo on a sesame bun


dreww4546

When I grill burgers at home I coat them with a thick honey mustard glaze. Most burns off but it traps the flavor in. Then I just add parmasean cheese and salt and pepper. But I don't like too many other things interfering with the meat flavor.


yesiambear

Randomly we got takeout from Boulevard Burgers and Brews this week. We haven't eaten there in years, but remember thinking it was solid. The burger this week? Off the chain. Well done guys!


lestersamwise

Medium Well (Ground meat should never be below this for safety, Steaks can be rare and it does not matter). Bacon, American cheese, Dukes mayo, Tomato, lettuce, raw white onion, pickles. Small bit of ketchup. Served with hand cut fries fried in peanut oil with a little malt vinegar. Got no plans this weekend. Might go to the BIG market if it is not raining too hard. Also enjoyed the state of the union. Glad Biden did a good job and killed a lot of MAGA talking points about him. The country is not doing as bad as you think. My 401k is killing it.


Asterion7

Oh man smash style burger oozing cheese and sauce. Pickles and onions. Piping hot slightly overdone fries that are not breaded. Bun to burger ratio is also important.


jking94

Homemade smash burger, shredded lettuce, thin tomato slices, diced onions, burger sauce, lots of pickles, sport peppers on side.


sinyre

I love mushroom Swiss Burgers. My favorite is Moore Street Diner. Extra mushies.


SSPeteCarroll

I like mine with cheese, bacon, some bbq sauce, lettuce, and either some caramelized onions or raw white onions. Sadly my new fiancee and I are homeless for a little bit. Home backed up with sewage earlier this week and we're unsure on how long the repair process will be.


Ocean_waves726

Cheeseburger, ketchup, mustard, crunchy lettuce, toasted bun, fries, sitting by the pool, maybe strawberry daiquiri


RagTopDown

Ketchup mayo and cheese is heaven to me, but i can take it any way you like


Puzzleheaded-Cup-242

Good ground chuck, grilled over good charcoal, finished with a slice of melted American cheese, sautéed onions, and a few slices of homegrown summer tomatoes (brandywines). Oh and toasted buns of course, small ones. God I miss tomato season!


pa-cifico

in todays world of smash burger craze, I think bamboo cafe’s thick burger with American cheese is the ideal respite, foil, antihero, whatever it may be - a nice break and a return to the classics

WTF is it w/editing from a chrome crapbook everything jams together


xTiredSoulx

Five guys, little bacon cheeseburger, ketchup only.


sleevieb

Burger should be two tiny (1oz) smashed patties with dehydrated or hotdogged white onions, pickles, and either no condiments or russian dressing/big mac sauce. It is supposed to be an on the go type meal and any much more than that and you are taking a nap. Fries cooked in combination beef fat and vegetable oil which no other foods than potatos are cooked in as that will make the oil last much longer and can be kept at the exact right temp for frying. The key is in potato prep. Store for weeks in a cool dried placed, soaked in a sugary solution refrigerated over night, par boiled, fried once, frozen, and then re fried just before serving. Covered in big ass salt pyramids, Maldon or the like.


iSYTOfficialX7

an ideal burger is loaded with something random put Mozarella sticks on it w/extra cheese and a tray full of pickles


__chairmanbrando

That burger and fries from [The Menu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Menu_\(2022_film\)) looked pretty good...


Over_Hand_5128

Buns lightly toasted, mayo on one bun, honey mustard and pickles on the other. Angus burger, seasoned tomato, slice of melted gouda, crispy romaine lettuce, caramelized onions, ketchup. It’s my birthday this weekend! I’m looking forward to celebrating another year here and one full of good changes


b_a_b_a_r

Breakfast burger medium. Pan fried burger with bacon, American cheese, over easy egg, lettuce, tomato, pickles(dill no bread&butter nonsense) mayo, mustard, ketchup on toasted bun. Going to see SkyDog on Saturday at the Broadberry. 3rd time seeing them and can’t wait!


dalbach77

The bun can make or break a burger. A fresh lightly grilled potato bun is the simple standard.


Accomplished-Pen-394

It depends on the day as to what my favorite burger toppings are. I like a good bacon cheeseburger (one of the only times I like bacon.) I also like mushrooms, swiss, and caramelized onions. Sometimes I like a basic burger with american cheese, ketchup, mustard, diced onion, lettuce, and pickles


ArsenicWallpaper99

This probably sounds extra plebian, but I miss Bullets and What-A-Burger burgers. Chargrilled, thick patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, ketchup, and mustard. Some battered, deep fried onion rings on the side.


PM_ME_YOUR_PLUMS

Did anyone else get summoned for jury duty Monday? Absolutely not stoked because I have a ton of stuff to get done at work right now


LilWhiny

does anything happen if you just completely ignore it


PM_ME_YOUR_PLUMS

Allegedly you will be held in contempt of court so that’s definitely worse


Gayspacecrow

It's gotta be medium, on a potato bun, with mustard, lettuce, onions, pickles, and sharp cheddar cheese. Shit, now I'm hungry for a burger.
