Why? What do you like about it?

When we were in Porto (but it could have been anywhere) we went to this hotdog chain I guess and they have all these topping piled so high you can barely lift and eat it, and buried way down underneath somewhere is a sausage in a bun. Stretches the definition of hotdog to the limit but it's been done with loads of other food.
Basically all fast food is the same - or at least approaching the same point - now, pick tons of toppings and sauces and underneath you will find the pizza, fries or whatever.

Why? What do you like about it?

they were the only ones that took vegetarian options seriously. i liked their sides. i liked the dips. i liked the system. i liked the way they change the menu a lot. i liked that you can choose a meat option and just swap the patty.

good drink options too.

I don't know how you resolve the need for perpetual growth at the heart of capitalism whilst preserving capitalism. We're ending up with more and more products of worse and worse quality and utility.

The thing with those mega burgers, they don't actually work as good, they are just a big mess. It's all about the visual spectacle.

Remember gourmet burger kitchen, it's like Instagram food only. Makes no sense on the plate. Or in the gob.

Yeah this kinda thing is so hard to get your chops round.

Your vegetarianism, though admirable, means you are a big out of the loop on burgers and hot dogs.

 

[luka]

yes i accept that

 

[linebaugh]

Man, you eat this shit? Thing looks like it came from Mars.

[linebaugh]

I appreciated the pornographic quality of the image

Me too good work limbo

 

[IdleRich]

yes i accept that

If you can know all about an author without reading him then why not burgers without eating them?

 

[luka]

good point

 

[WashYourHands]

turned down a double Big Mac for lunch

imagine the constipation and muck-spraying after, minging

 

[Mr. Tea]

You sound like you work for a hot dog think tank.

Maybe the USA as a whole, at some fundamental level, is a hot dog think tank.

Looks identical to the Time Out Market in Lisbon

time out market lisbon - Google Search

www.google.com

mine is a picture of the time out market in chicago actually. I didnt know it was an international brand but probably should have assumed

 

[IdleRich]

Time Out started in London didn't it? Shame they've got their hands on the River Market in Lisbon anyway, a lot of people seem to like it to be fair but I don't.

[linebaugh]
