>People lining up to get new fad food

Seems to be an american thing,

>>5143485
> people lining up in ludicrously long lines in general.

Jesus fucking christ.

>>5143485
Yeah, I wish this hotdog fad would end.

>>5143485
>>5143488

this isn't a fad, it's that fucking same hot dog place that's been around for 30 years... I don't fucking get it. Even if they WERE the best hot dogs ever (they're not...), it would still not be worth it. Who are these people with the 3 hour lunch breaks?

here's a CNN Money thing on them... gay.

If it's so overrated why do so many people eat it?

Pinks was a massive waste of time.

It was a good chili dog, no better or worse than any other good chili dog.

If you've ever had a great Coney, you will eat a Pinks dog and think "really? people wait for this?"

fucking this
http://www.ici-icecream.com/
just like OP is talking about, line down the block for nothing special

Used to be okay.

I mean the recipe is still the same. What I mean is that the business was sold to people who made it a 'Just for tourists' kind of deal with prices only a tourist or the village idiot would readily pay.

I can't even express how overrated this place is.
IT'S A FUCKING HOT DOG THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING BUT MUSTARD AND ONIONS

>>5143718
It's so touristy they had President Obama come to down once and pose with one.

All those streets shut down for a motherfucking photo session with a wiener. :|

>>5143726
>No I don't.

I had one almost right across the street from me but the police shut it down.

>>5143732
Mine needs to be closed, people around here think the wings are god-tier

goddamn in and out

people just "like it" because its exclusive to a couple of states.

>>5143737
In this case I was even warned by a friend not to go around there on Saturday nights.

>Whiggers. Whiggers everywhere.

The sort of cheap drinks drew them all to the backyard so to speak.

Juggalos and bros hanging around doing nothing but picking fights with themselves and others.

The police had to send a couple cruisers over every Saturday night to babysit.

Eventually the cops flat out told them there was no way they were going to devote that much time and resources to a damned chicken wing place.

>>5143746
We have the dudebros, just the ones that talk shit but never act. Also, schools hold fundraisers there weekly, so its either douches or swagfags.

>>5143726
I never understood buffalo wings in general. I hope that fad is long over.

Why put gooey sauce all over something that you eat by hand?

And wings are the retarded cousin of chicken parts.

Nevada/California resident

1)In and out
Why? I just think the burger is fairly average and the fries are tasteless. Nothing about the burger makes its worth a pilgrimage site. Its basically a buttered bun, small patty, and a thousand island you can find everywhere else What's so special about that?

I'd recommend smashburger (sweet potato fries) and even tommy's over that one dimensional shitfest

2) Five guys.
Eh. Not worth the price.

>>5143742
Nah in and out is legitimately good fast food. It's pretty much without equal if your goal is to have a decent burger in under 3 minutes.

>>5143785
>Wendy's
>Five Guys
there's two places that serve better burgers than In-N-Out in under 3 minutes.

>>5143785
Overrated shit. the patty is under seasoned , small, and made in a griddle.

>>5143779
The Habit burger is better and cheaper.
http://www.habitburger.com/

>>5143790
You got something against flat-tops, nigger?

>>5143795
Meat taste better when its not cooked a flat top, k.

>>5143800
you're delusional

>>5143800
That's retarded.

Not even bad, but I don't understand why there's a line going out the door all the fucking time. Basically Smashburger with a 50% price premium because of all their lolrandum toppings. Fucking not-even-hip midwestern hipsters, man.

>>5143810
>>5143806

Try cooking steak over a wood fired grill or charcoal, and tell me you don't taste a different note in your meat. lol plebs

>>5143812
>Drink lab

what the fuck is this, a soda fountain for people who want to sound itellectual?

>>5143825
They have a bar with a few interesting drinks. Just like any decent restaurant should, but I guess they think it's remarkable.

Dick's. The Edmonds, WA branch always had a lot of people when I drove through it when I lived in the area. Figured I'd give it a try. The burger was nothing special and I didn't understand what all the fuss is about. I moved shortly after to another city and I never came back again. However, I've decided to give it a second chance. Maybe when I pass through it one of these days, I'll buy a burger again.

>>5143483
chipotle's not bad, my only complaint is there's not enough variety and when the shitbag behind the counter doesn't know how to roll a burrito.

I've also lived in the Mission district in SF which is full of awesome taquerias which were actually the inspiration for Chipotle.

>>5143779
in-n-out: Never frozen anything. All stores are a single days drive from their main distribution center. Animal style burgers are good. Fries are just a deliver mechanism for salt and ketchup.

5 guys: Used to eat at the original one in VA before it was a chain. togo only, ate peanuts and threw the shells on the floor while you waited. The burgers were way better and had way more shit on them when you ordered it with everything. Now the store put little signs up asking you to not leave peanut shells on the tables, burgers are a watered down. Fries are still pretty good and always fresh though.

>>5143817
I prefer steak over a flame. But you can't baste a steak in delicious herbed butter and get the same nutty flavor like you can when you cook it in a pan. Anyone who only cooks the same shit the same way all the time is the pleb.

>ITT:

The usual happenings

All of you haters are anti. Is that what you wanna say?
You don´t belong here. Pls go.

5 Guys is the most overrated bullshit ever. Fuck everyone of you who disagrees with me.

>>5143478
>t-pumps
>another fucking bubble tea shop
>mediocre ratings
Is the manager there just really cool or something? they had to open another location because there were literally lines out the door

>>5143785
they're drippy and made with disgusting american cheese

>>5144007
>>5143898
>>5143877

At least you guys get the original, we get some bullshit rip off, crammed with hipsters at an exorbitant price, smothered in muh extra toppings. 9 quid for a burger served by a moustache toting prick with a fixed gear bike. Queues around the block.

obnoxious hip website alert: http://almostfamousburgers.com/

>>5143789

dude... wendy's isn't even close to the quality of In-N-Out, it's not even a matter of opinion. I like Wendys.. but it's much lower tier.

Five guys is also not nearly as good as In-n-Out, almost twice as expensive and the patties are too big.

In-N-Out really is the best burger.

>>5143779
its true its nothing special... just fresh ingredients and a delicious burger. You don't need anything else because their burgers taste really good.

Yeah... im not into sweet potato fries or 60's diners.. Tommy's is garbage. Its like a 3 pound patty with a forest of bacon... pass.

>>5143478
As recently as like two years ago you could get to Pink's when there wasn't a line. I don't know what's happened to cause an upsurge in popularity.

>>5143768
iktf
like
nigga i buy my clothes with my own damn money give me a fork to eat this shit with
actually
naw
aint even enough meat to be worth my time
im busy
give me a breast of a thigh

>>5143700
except dem cones.
Ill pick up a pack of cones and put my own ice cream in it

>Five Guys
5$ for a small burger, price based on the free unlimited peanuts they offer

>In N Out
Simple but way too simple, and the fries are boring. Secret menu helps only a little bit

>Pink's
the bbq sauce they had was nice. didnt even order the hotdog, got the burger because they had it. same old same old. and this place isnt always full, you just have to know when to go like maybe...10am on a tuesday, or maybe even 230pm

>>5144038
It's been featured and referenced in pop culture for years so interest has picked up I guess.

>>5143483
>thinking this is unique to your area

flyoverland please leave

>>5144038
>>5144101

Nah that's total bullshit I grew up in West Hollywood and lived there since 1996. For the last 18 years it's been exactly the same. Always a huge line for no fucking reason.

next you're going to tell me 4chan used to better 2 years ago ;)

>>5144227
I invented West Hollywood and built Pink's with my own hands.

Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap.

It's good but not worth the wait considering there is dozen places who make the same veggie kebap.

>>5144230

>mfw I've stood in the Pink's line before you were born.

>>5144240
I was never born. I always was.

>>5144245

Yes, you always was autistic. And you is now.

My aunt's favorite restaurant, and where my friends always want to get pizza. I really don't know why. The pizza is just alright. The pastas are awful. Their ribs were possibly the worst thing I've ever eaten.

>>5144022
>>5144007
When the 5 guys opened in london critics tore it apart, yet there is still a line most times I pass it.
I haven't tried it myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was lower quality than the American counterpart, imports tend to suffer.

>>5144452
Might be better with horse meat, actually.

It's good in the U.S., but overpriced.

I agree with the guy that said Tommys >>>In and out and five guys. In N out is just tasteless without doing monster style or w/e. Not worth the hype. Five guys is just an overrpriced burger, you could find better or chillburgers at your local diner such as golden basket with a better price for a buck.

>>5143843
As soon as I saw this thread I knew this would be posted.
In Seattle, their prices are really appealing, and while they may be busy they never look like that in Capitol hill.

>>5143726
The only time to go here is for football season which is practically over now. And never order anything but wings. The whole menu is mediocre and the beer is overpriced.

>>5144007
I agree. I think the cheeseburgers/Mc Double's/Double Cheeseburgers at Mc D's taste better.

H-hey guys....w-what's going in this thread?

>>5143718
pfff. I live near one and don't live near or in Cincinnati so no tourists. God I want a coney or 3-way now.

>>5143791

Ate at The Habit in Santa Clarita once. The one infront of that target and shit near golden hs.

God damn that was a good burger. A true equal to 5 Guys no doubt.

Also anyone who says In-n-Out is the best burger is a moron. It is p good but that is comparing it to fucking McDonalds or BK. Also they have the worst fries ever. Seriously their fries suck balls. Always limp and theyre tiny as fuck.

>>5143718
>>5147154

Tourist? Wtf are you guys talking about.

I used to live in the 513 and would eat that shit all the time.

I like Gold Star better anyway, but the GOAT is Blue Ash Chili.

>>5147972
> SCV

lol the only thing I missed there was food like The Habit. They just put one on USC campus and now I don't even care about the random Cal Arts ragers every Thursday. Still miss Urbane Cafe and Fresh Works Grill tho.

what's up eses, i'm going to America next month to try some of your delicious fast food joints/restaurants. I'll be going to Five Guys first and the limit is the moon. Any recommendations near the Laredo area of Texas? Thanks vatos.

>>5147991

Bro I live in fucking Bakersfield. I can't even get good food period. Everything here is a chain.

So anytime I am in L.A. I try to hit up somewhere that I know serves up muh flavortowns.

The Varsity. I went to the franchise in Athens and was disappointed. Apparently the one in Atlanta isn't that good either according to my friends. Good food for the summertime I guess.

>>5147972
>A true equal to 5 Guys no doubt.
Lol
Anyway, In-N-Out sour grapes is the best. People like to shit on it because it is the best and you can't get it anywhere

>>5148001
tacos y burritos

>>5147140
Chick-fil-A is rated pretty accurately. It's a very good all white meat chicken sandwich.
This thing on the other hand.

>>5148024

Athensfag here. The one here is the best, since it's the same exact food as the Atlanta location without all the fucking tourists everywhere. I don't think it's good by any stretch, though. Just really basic burgers and fries.

>>5148232

I seriously doubt you've had a cronut.

>>5148232
what kind of tastless bullshit horrible no flavor white bun boring god awful chicken do you eat that you think chick fillet is good?

>>5148234
hi fellow ga bruh
It was alright. I guess all the HYPE made me expect it to be really good. I did like the onion rings tho. I went 2 summers ago with some friends and ate at the Asian shaved ice place called SunO for dessert. That was good a'f.

Dominoes. Ordered a pizza from Dominoes earlier. 1 hour after ordering it had NOT arrived. I created this image in photoshop and placed it in full screen on my laptop and left it by my front door which I had open. 20 minutes later still and the pizza man was coming so I turned off every fucking light and pretended to not be in. I know he saw my message because he said 'sir.... your pizza.... sir I apologise'. I came out 20 minutes later and no pizza, which I am happy about, however, now I am very hungry.

Horrible and disgusting company with poor service, very oveerrated and I am proud I told them off.

>>5148319
>humor according to a neckbeard

In-N-Out.

So fucking overrated as fuck. It's better than some other chains, but it's in no way near the best at all. And the fries....the fries...the horror....THE HORROR....

In Charleston, SC, there are lots of tourist traps, that either are shit or not worth the wait. The worst offender is Hymans: http://www.hymanseafood.com/.. Pretty much everything on Market Street is shit (save for the Peninsula Grill), Jestine's Kitchen isn't worth it, nor is the Hominy Grill. Husk is ok, but not at all worth the title of 'best new restaurant in America' and FIG is complete shit catered to hipsters and 'foodies.' The Blind Tiger's new menu is also complete shit.

>>5148216

>fgt

I live 2 miles from an In-n-out. There is a chikfila right next door. Guess which one this nigga is going to. Spicy Chicken Deluxe brah.

NOBODY thinks In-n-out is amazing other than tryhard faggots. I've lived all over the country and have eaten a lot of shit but god damn do people get butt hurt over the fact that there pedestrian burger joint is PEDESTRIAN. Nothing is special there.

>>5144023
>Five guys is also not nearly as good as In-n-Out, almost twice as expensive and the patties are too big.
Because you're a manlet, son.

>>5148398

King of the Manlets reporting in at 5ft 11in.

The patties are infact not too big and god damn who cares about the price. What are you a jew?

Go get a McDouble you poor fuck.

>>5148411
You seem to have stuck your reading comprehension up your ass today. Sorry about that. Let me help you understand. I called him a manlet because he said that Five Guys patties were too big.

>>5148419

Yes I understood that. I was stating that they are not infact too large for anyone under the average 8 feet tall.

It just means that guy is a real bitch niqqa.

When I lived in Colorado there were commercials on TV all the time for this restaurant called Red Top burgers, their claim to fame being a super huge burger.
It was just a slightly-above-average mound of ground beef smashed like a boob during a mammogram so as to cover the personal-pizza-sized buns. My parents never took me, probably for good reason.

>>5148390
Only retards with no taste like shitfila

I never understood why this place has lines two blocks long. Sure the doughnuts are "unique" but they don't taste all that special.

>>5148245

The thing about pinks is that it is located in an area where a lot of famous people come in and out of. Tourist go to pinks because of this. Also the hot-dogs are not bad, but it is not worth the long wait just because these fucks from the Midwest and other dirt-farm places want a chance to see someone famous. So those sad fucks can say to their mouth breathing friends and neighbors that they saw someone famous in LA.

>>5148513
Voo Doo is just a gimmick with owners that should kill themselves. I know that part of the country is supposed to be "weird", just every time the owners of this shit show of shop is on TV they come off as the most painfully boring white people trying to be DIFFERENT AND ZANY.

>>5148514
>eating something based on political beliefs and not taste

Its obnoxious as shit.

Fuck them.

>>5148523
>I'm upset that a small business I have never had any interaction with is popular

Uh okay?

>>5148553

My wife travels there for work, she fucking hates Portland. She travels all over the states, but she said it's the worst place she's ever gone.

The donuts were okay, I don't like donuts.
The Poutine was much better.

It's obnoxious as shit there.

It's not directly a place but more like a food item that seems to be everywhere is just some overrated marinated chicken chunks on some bread with an overrated dumb sounding name... spedies... it's a southern tier ny state thing apparently. I can make better putting some worchestershire and a few dashes of hot sauce on some chicken nuggers, then throw that on an Italian bread.

>>5148241
theyre too sweet. My sisters office got them when I was visiting. too much hype, now the ramen burger...

>>5144673
Oh hells yes. Dick's sucks. I lived in Seattle for ten years. I finally went there because the locals all told me how awesome it is. The fries were so disgusting that when I threw them at the seagulls hovering around the parking lot, THE SEAGULLS WOULDN'T EVEN EAT THEM.

How shitty does "food" have to be before seagulls turn up their beaks at it?

I'm sure this is where the saying "go eat a bag of Dick's" comes from.

Another horrible one is Maid-Rite. They serve a "loose meat sandwich" which means that instead of forming ground beef into a patty like a normal hamburger, they steam a bunch of little loose crumbly bits, then pile them between a couple of slices of bread.

Flavorless and sad. Astonishingly, they've survived as a chain for almost 90 years. I honestly can't understand it.

Five Guys has got to be the most overrated bullshit ever. All of my friends swear by it. Overpriced mediocre burgers and shit tier burgers and yet they go crazy for it. Fucking disgusting. I'd rather go to Wendy's.

Pat's and Geno's.

I mean, if it's 2am and I'm shitfaced, maybe I'll go to Pat's as I stumble home. But god, why do people still go here on the reg?

Portland-ME

Fucking overprice hipster bullshit.

Also no modifications allowed. Go eat somewhere else if you are allergic. We are too good to change for a customer

Mission Chinese. Not creative, it's oily, full of MSG, and the rice is always dry and stale. I don't care how many hipsters fawn over it, if a Chinese place can't do rice, I'm over it.

Kumas in Chicago.

That town has got to be THE shittiest burger town in the country if Kumas is the place considered one of the best.

3 hours and it still tasted like a burger, and they only offer pretzel buns.

It wasn't even loud either.

>>5153778

>Also no modifications allowed

Jesus, with all the special snowflake foodies you'd think that wouldn't work.

>OMG anon you have to go to penny-cluse cafe
>OMG anon it's best food in Burlington

>>5156834
My brother was married to a woman that ran a tourism business catering almost exclusively to German and Polish tourists wanting to see the areas in Gone With the Wind. Plus Coca-Cola and CNN seem to draw a lot of EU folks for some reason, but it's been a while since I worked in that part of town.
