When i was salary non-exempt (hourly) i had to put in 40 each week, even if i just worked a 50 or 60. If i wanted to take a little time, i had to use vacation. As salary, i can work a 50, then not come in the following Friday without using a vacation day. That's about the only perk at my job. They say the bonus structure is better, but i've yet to really see that it makes up for extra hours. Otherwise it's just a title thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual burger quality? No. Fries? No. Toppings selection though? Better than the staple FF places IMO they might as well switch to beyond burgers at this point.... those things are surprisingly good, five guys is surprisingly bad. The transition would be smooth.

This is exactly why Beyond Burger needs to buy them out and make the switch. It’s the perfect franchise because they have the beef that’s the most forgettable. Imagine the attention you’d get on social media when people were all like “Omg these veggie burgers are just as good as Five Guys real beef!” And boom, you’re in.

Imagine the attention you’d get on social media when people were all like “Omg these veggie burgers are just as good as Five Guys real beef!” And boom, you’re in. I had the v1 Impossible Burger. Was way better than Five Guys. A buy out would work probably though. They’d have to get new management in there though, because the whole “no seasoning” thing won’t work with the imitation meat. They’d also have to change from smash burgers, because the BB doesn’t crisp up the way a good smash burger does. But it would definitely be a better burger than what Five Guys has going now.

pwny Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 I just looked it up and apparently they even smash the beef wrong. How are they so bad at everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Decided to do three things with my tax return: -buy a guitar and learn how to play -get my first tattoo -go on a vacation to colorado doesnt sound like Colorado is going to happen since the place I’m renting is now being sold so my rent will likely increase 4x when I find a new place. The tattoo is a maybe cause I want it on my forearm and don’t know if it’s a good idea in case it makes placing IV’s more difficult which is important with my heath history lol plus I want to work in a hospital and tattoos in those places are frowned upon. But I did buy a guitar and it’s been shipped so I’m at least batting .333 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preach. A proper burger isn’t a couple millimeters thick, it’s an inch thick and able to be cooked to a proper medium temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly places will aks that you cover them with sleeves, but no one cares. 17 minutes ago, Tyty said: But I did buy a guitar and it’s been shipped so I’m at least batting .333 now Take the trip to Colorado man, it’s pretty spectacular.

Solely because I recently started cooking burgers like this and they’re incredible. Five Guys smashes the burger after they’ve already cooked one side, which pushes all the fat out of the burger. And somehow despite having a super thin burger, they can’t even get a decent crust on them. And they don’t season the beef, which is trash. But seriously - try that burger in that link. I used to be a huge advocate for the 10 oz thick boi burger cooked just past medium rare, but after doing these, I’m probably not going back unless I *have* to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He heavily advocates for American cheese because of how well it melts, and it’s worth trusting him on it even if you aren’t big on American cheese. However, if that’s a deal breaker, I did just do one with harvarti ~30 minutes ago and it worked really well. Just make sure If you switch, it’s to another really melty cheese.

Yeah, it’s gonna have to be havarti, or even brie. American is just nasty imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve also gotten to the point where I just blindly trust anything he says because after years of cooking his recipes (and probably half of everything I cook is either his recipe or using techniques I’ve learned from him/his site), I’ve never been steered wrong. So it was a bit easier to say “Kenji says this will work, I’m just gonna do it”. Totally understand if you don’t have that blind faith in a recipe a stranger on a football forum sent you.
