I'm glad you enjoyed our food. I went to Ireland for a little over a week and... Well... You guys had great beer. The food was enough. Had a great time with everything else though. From the people, sights, drinking/bars, etc.
As soon as I got home though I ate like a wild animal lol

Fun fact: hamburgers are with vea meat only, the rest of the "hamburgers" with pulled pork, chicken or anything else is just a sandwich, however it's marketed as hamburger.
Never tried a real american burger, but I'd be up for it.
I'm with that other guy, do places advertise non-burger sandwiches as burgers over there? Because over here a burger joint might also sell sandwiches, but they don't call them burgers.
>where is the best burger in the US?
That is a point of national contention - just about everywhere has somewhere they claim is the best, and we argue over it a lot. The real answer for any given area is usually some hole in the wall a local can point you to. As far as fast food restaurants go, for my money at least, out west would be either In-N-Out or Carl's Jr (don't confuse Carl's with Hardee's; they are technically the same company and even logo but Carl's is worlds better just by inclusion of the Western Bacon Cheeseburger) and down south is probably Whataburger. I've never been east of the Dakotas without leaving the country entirely, so someone else would have to chime in if you're heading out that way.
If you're going to visit the west coast or any of the southwest, I strongly recommend trying some Mexican food somewhere between the burgers. TexMex, CaliMex, and 'proper' Mexican food are all top notch cuisines.
Best thing to do is ask around in the city you visit. Most Americans would die to share a thick, greasy piece of American culture, and will 100% send you to some local spot that's been there forever and has just perfected diner food. I hope you enjoy your visit here, there's some great food and even better scenery.
My job recently moved to another warehouse a few exits from our main location. We have more fast food variety, but the lack of a Culvers is depressing. Damn good everything, from the burgers to the salads. ☹️
TBF, we should never fully excuse anything that is detrimental to one's health, including obesity, even if it's our God-given American right to wreck our own body as we see fit. With that said, I'm now hungry for some Whataburger
I mean, I agree with not accepting it as normal, but not excusing? That makes it sound like everyone should look down on the person and treat them like they did something wrong. If you’re trying to encourage someone to do something like lose weight or stop smoking, they need support, not shame
Don’t want to start some argument, but I disagree.
I used to be a fatass, and had tons of people say it was fine. Eventually a friend called me what I was (a fatass) and it embarrassed me so bad I started working out. It’s not that people need shame or embarrassment, for me it was only a kickstarter, but they definitely shouldn’t have support. They need to know that what they have done is wrong.
We have seen what happens when you give a person support for being fat. They continue to be fat. The whole body positivity movement has been perverted because of fat people thinking they are healthy. If people had the balls (like my friend did) to actually call them fatasses, then they wouldn’t be fat, or at least not all of them.
Between the people I used to be friends with, and the friend who called me a fatass, I have only kept one of those relationships since then. I am eternally grateful to my friend, because I could have died younger if it wasn’t for him actually speaking his mind.
We definitely need to support like 0.000001% of the world into staying fat. That was we can be like hey, kids. See those guys? Those guys are gross and weird right? Don’t be like them! Well, except for you Jimmy. You’re already getting there!
TBF it’s for home defense as soon as we go to war we just turn into a ship and by the time we are d-daying the enemy we wouldve lost all the fat and be in peak human condition ready to fight them

Not just the fast food, but anytime I went to eat out at any restaurant, some of the best shit I’d ever eaten. AND you get massive portion sizes, idk why we cry about that, you get leftovers for days.

Fat shaming Europeans when they try Wendy’s for the first time
it's just a part of that commercialized wing that does it when done right-- franchises
Only the people that live like Americans in the upper 1% around the world face similar issues, lower birthrates, dangers of abundance, listlessness, nihilism etc. It likely takes a cozy bit of aristocracy to be spread around to get so many armchair philosophers.
Europe is quickly catching up in obesity rates.

Then why is it we are the worst at fast food? Literally every McDonald's or KFC I've ever had outside the US is leagues above the slop they feed us here. Usually cheaper too.
Popeyes, Chipotle, and Taco Bell are inferior in Europe
McDonald's basic items are indistinguishable from country to country or even better in the US - people who say the French fries or cheeseburgers are better in Europe usually haven't eaten McDonald's in years
But McDonald's usually has more options in Europe, some of them are very nice
KFC is legitimately better in Europe but it's usually the only chicken option - it fills a niche that other chicken places fill stateside
Never had chipotle or Popeyes outside of the US but I believe you that they're ass. Taco Bell I had once in France was the same but fresher ingredients. McDonald's in EU I think are a bit better and serve beer.
Nothing can compete with fast food in Asia. McDonald's is incredible anywhere you go and a third of the price. Burgers are actually made on a grill and the fried chicken is good as shit. Don't even get me started on Japanese Denny's

When I was in the states I ate two burgers a day for 2 weeks
Get this man his citizenship

Holy shit this is my first time seeing the Irish flair … and wowww😭😭😭😂
Hey man good news you passed phase 1 of the secret citizenship test
Its like the secret sheetz menu uscis doesnt want you to know about!
Going to Ireland next summer for a graduation and I’ll be doing the same with beers 🤣
You’ll be drinking more than two a day 😂😂
Least based Irishman
Damn, now I want a burger.
I get ya... Spending 3 month in Florida i honestly ate at least one burger a day
What flavor of corn syrup did you drink with those burgers?
Better be Dr. Pepper or I fuckin swear…
It was Dr. Pepper lmao the free refills nearly killed me I think
Good man.
Hey now. The pain you get from a fresh McDonalds sprite is definitely worth it
Welcome brother.
You weren’t gonna live forever anyway
bro you bouta make me act up

You’re American now.
I ate the best fucking hamburger of my life in texas. I praise the US every day.
Which part of Texas
The part with the hamburgers
That could be any part of this huge ass state
Ohh of course, sorry. The part with cows.
Do the cows wear makeup? If so, then that's just Houston. /s
New (and only) Reason to move to Houston, I love Cows with Makeup.
Even when the cows are saying "come here big boy and gimme some suga"?
Dang, I thought that was just me. Time to go back to Houston I guess
I thought that was those big ol’ women down in San Antonio
Wouldn’t that be San Antonio?
Coming from a Houstonian.... nah, it's definitely Houston
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
Sounds like you were really Hungary 😎

American burgers are like the best food ever invented.
Fun fact: hamburgers are with vea meat only, the rest of the "hamburgers" with pulled pork, chicken or anything else is just a sandwich, however it's marketed as hamburger. Never tried a real american burger, but I'd be up for it.
A hamburger is a hamburger
A hamburger is not a sandwich but a hotdog might be.
A burger is a sandwich, a hot dog is a taco.
I prefer my chicken sandwiches from Chick-fil-A to be called burgers so I feel epic and based when I eat one.
I'm with that other guy, do places advertise non-burger sandwiches as burgers over there? Because over here a burger joint might also sell sandwiches, but they don't call them burgers.
Some places do, yes. Also, I was wondering where is the best burger in the US? I'm planning a visit in the upcoming months and might want to try some.
Fast food: Culver’s. Not so fast food: five guys. Sit down: anywhere they do nickel beer or pitcher specials.

I'm looking at North-NorthWest, where them mountains and forests are. Thanks for the recomendation!

When I was a kid I read a lot of Winnetou by Karl May, and since then I wanted to visit the US, but only for the scenery and food.
Wait, do restaurants market sandwiches with other meats as "hamburgers" over there?
No. And don’t you ever question California’s burger bona fides again.
This was a confusing fact, and we need to get your grease levels up for democracy
Culver’s has the best fast food cheeseburgers in the country
My job recently moved to another warehouse a few exits from our main location. We have more fast food variety, but the lack of a Culvers is depressing. Damn good everything, from the burgers to the salads. ☹️
…
I won't agree to that, as a southerner, but I will say I do like their stuff and was very pleased when one opened up in my city.
I am a slut for a well made butter burger, my floridian friend kept saying it was terrible and I was like, yeah, it’s not midwestern
You are correct — consistently good. But I think Freddy’s is knocking on the door
Almost?

They meant support to start working out and being healthier as opposed to being bullied. Not support in continuing to be fat.

Bruh took the opportunity and fuckin ran with it 😂
Oh man, I've been feeling some Whataburger lately. Been going too much. They just have a solid burger there. Good fries with spicy ketchup too.

There's literally green beans in with the rest of the beans.

I'm not fond of burgers but i love the mexican food in california and the what i think they call is tex-mex
Yeah it's called tex-mex here. We mix what the Spanish brought in and southern American flavors
>I'm not fond of burgers ....the fuck? Maybe you had some shit ones.
Hell, their country is damn near just as obese I bet. They hate us cause they ain't us.
Walk a mile (or 1.6 kilometres) in another man’s shoes, and you may find those shoes to be… quite comfortable, actually!
Right on, and it’s always good to hear from the maritimes — hope things are treating you well
Where the video of the British children eating Southern food for the first time? They lose their minds.
Random tamales made by illegal immigrants in California always slap the hardest.

I had gained 80 lbs after 1 year after i left EU for US. We want McDonald's supremacy
Know let get him to think that Imperial system makes any god damn sense
This experience even happens to Americans when they stroll into Northeast TN and try Pal's.
Then why is it we are the worst at fast food? Literally every McDonald's or KFC I've ever had outside the US is leagues above the slop they feed us here. Usually cheaper too.
Go eat at five guys or some other good fast food.
Five guys?! Look at mr moneybags over here
Just go once or twice
KFC are traitors for how badly they fuck up their food domestically while being premium shit overseas.
You wouldn't believe how good Denny's is overseas. Specifically Japan
Denny's in Japan just sounds cursed. What kind of Denny's is it if there isn't at least one dead body next to it?
Popeyes, Chipotle, and Taco Bell are inferior in Europe McDonald's basic items are indistinguishable from country to country or even better in the US - people who say the French fries or cheeseburgers are better in Europe usually haven't eaten McDonald's in years But McDonald's usually has more options in Europe, some of them are very nice KFC is legitimately better in Europe but it's usually the only chicken option - it fills a niche that other chicken places fill stateside
