Agreed. The cheese in that pic even looks cold to me, like it just came out of the fridge.

Nothing better then waiting behind some fucktard blocking the aisle so he/she can stuff their face.
The flavor of poutine outweighs the calorie count in pretty much any scenario I can think of.

People always sleeping on Costco's food. Their pizzas and hotdogs are the GOAT!

I'm in Seattle. I'll take one for the team.
Portillos sells burgers though.
Tell them to serve it to you hot.

Is that really a problem people have with their burgers? "Oh no, the lettuce and tomato in my hamburger is hot from the juicy hot burger patty. How can I possibly eat this now?"
Sad thing is, the cheese in that pic looks better than the one in the Costco pic.

Nice. I'm doing a Nintendo Switch hunt over the weekend and plan to go far as San Ramon. I can stop by there.

I would try it at least once. Not expecting much though. I'd rather buy a $5 roast chicken.

I tried it yesterday at the Seattle flagship store. Not bad at all.

Best of luck on your Switch hunt. The Best Buy in Dublin (where I'm at) did get over 20 systems during the last restock but people do line up early once they see the systems in the ads.

I'll stick with going to In-N-out for my (double-double) burgers, thanks.
I'll continue to get that pizza and hot dog though. That burger just doesn't look like it'd do it for me.

Reminder, when assembling a burger smear some mayo or guac on the bottom bun, the fat barrier keeps the juices from sinking in and making it soggy.
American food is why the American people are so tall, beautiful, and strong.
You need good fuel to keep the machine running smoothly.
So can you please stop hating and take that L.

So they're selling a low effort burger that anybody can make at home?
Eh.
I like a little assembly like chopped lettuce, grilled onions, melted cheese, etc.

Yes, just like a million fast food chains currently do. Makes no sense.

1140 calories, jesus.
Wonder how much of that is the dressing.

Ditto. Came here to say this and I was born there and lived in the city for the first half of my life. Deep dish pizza? Check. Hot dogs? You know it. But Chicago-style burgers? Never heard of that unless I slept under a rock for 15 years.
What about chili/chili dogs?

That burger looks terrible. I'd still eat it, however.

Yeah, but it's nothing like the one described in the OP.

I don't get why people are freaking out over 1100 calories here. Assuming you're eating 2000 a day roughly, that's still 850-900 calories for the rest of the day.
Using the standard 3 meals..... Breakfast at 300-400 has tons of great options including even bacon and eggs + fruit or something. And dinner at 500 also has some good filling options too - a lean protein like chicken breast or fish, rice/beans, and veggies.
And if you go with some thoughts that lunch can be the biggest meal of the day, it's even better because for dinner you're not eating a heavy meal that could be just hours before bed.

Jesus, 1100 calories in the burger alone.
McDLT was the best gimmick burger that couldn't survive past the anti-styrofoam movement. Once MCD's switched to paper wrappers, the McDLT was already assembled they gave it to you and a little while later, it was no longer being sold.
Disclaimer- I used to use my elementary school student of the week awards which came with a free burger from McD's to get free McDLT's.

Looks like shit.
I read this as fucklard and burst out laughing. Really creative way to describe those splendiferous individuals of more imposing girth.

The pizza is a good value, especially with pizza being shitty here in Orange County, Southern California. The burger, however, is not a good deal. I would rather go to In N Out and get two double doubles.
