    Easy choice for me today too. Usually I bring my lunch to work but today is a rare occurrence and I didn't.

    I think I will take a walk downtown to "Louies Lunch" this is a landmark that claims to have invented the burger. It is a very unique place to say the least. Might not be the best but it is just one of those places. And do not ask for Ketchup! They might throw you curbside.

    was just looking at a 2011 wrangler , stick , $11500, soft top . As a backup vehicle to my 04 F250 6L diesel ( at 288xxx miles ) same place has another 04 F250 crew cab ,8ft box at $4500. Apx 150xxx miles on it . I only glanced at it so I need to get more details and look underneath. These things take 1.5 football fields to turn around in.

    The Dragon Flame-Grilled Whopper is your standard quarter pounder with all the fixings—bacon, tomatoes, onions, pickles, American cheese, lettuce, ketchup, and mayo—but with a fun twist. Instead of your typical bun, this one is red and orange marbled (made with natural spices and vegetables) and topped with black sesame seeds.

    No they have a gas burner that sort of looks like a toaster and they cook them vertically. [​IMG]

    Outstanding burgers! Simple and cooked in such a unique way. Always a line for a reason.

    The Steakhouse Bacon Whopper combines signature steakhouse favorites including A.1. ® sauce, crispy onions, bacon, Swiss cheese, creamy peppercorn aioli, lettuce and tomato. Might be worth a try.

    Looks like a dressed up version of the rodeo burger from 20+ years ago. Those were awesome... if you weren't sober :rofl: :lol:

    I pulled up this article on every single burger offered at Burger King over the years, The Rodeo Burger was ranked number 2 of all time and the Dragon Flame-Grilled burger took first place. Link to article is below...

    I would give both of those the "poop emoji" for appearance but we don't have one of those here.

    EDIT: "SKEETER" , could you please post a picture of what a real burger looks like!
