It's a fact that almost everything is better with ketchup. I was reading about all the elitist meatloaves people in the elitist cooking thread have been discussing lately, and all I could think about was how much better they'd taste with some good ol' Heinz ketchup.

When I was growing up, a meatloaf was a pound of ground beef dumped directly onto a cookie sheet and molded into a shape vaguely resembling a loaf. Seasoning? Bacon? Sauces? Lolz. Just drown it in ketchup. Hotdogs were boiled for a few minutes, put on a microwaved bun, and drenched in ketchup.

So Papa John's has a frito chili pizza at the moment. I fucking LOVED frito burritos from Taco Bell back in the day. So I ordered one up, and I'm fairly disappointed. Not really sure what I expected but its basically just a hamburger pizza, with some chili sauce in place of pizza sauce, and then fritos dumped on top once it is cooked. Not bad, just fairly mediocre, would not order again.

Also, butter burger clarification:
Form the ground beef into 4 patties. Stuff a slice of the compound butter inside each and broil the burgers to the desired doneness. Add another slice of the butter to the top of each burger, followed by a slice of cheese. Broil briefly, just until the cheese melts.

I've seen that method used several times on Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives too. I think its a method that first became popular up north, like Minnesotta/Wisconsin, because well, those people weren't fat enough already, they had to stuff their burgers with butter too. (Culvers is based in Wisconsin)

I'm so glad that I have an aversion to Ketchup. It's good with french fries and meatloaf only!! lol

Seeing as I like it with just those things I guess it's pretty psychological why I don't like it with anything else, rather than actual taste.

I'm not a fan of ketchup at all. Once in a while on fries is ok, but even then I'd rather have some other kind of sauce to dip fries in.

I really don't mind ketchup on hot dogs even though its frowned upon in Chicago. Some of the old school places will absolutely not put it on and don't even carry it in the restaurant, but I'll add it most of the time.

The big thing in Chicago is the depression dog, aka mustard, onions, relish, sport peppers and a handful of fries thrown on top. Fries must be eaten with hot dog. Delicious.

Burger King used to have thebestfries, circa 1999-2000. Then it was Wendy's for a while and now they're pretty much all terrible, thanks to this "all natural, coated in hippie sea-salt" bullshit. If I'm getting fast food, I really don't give a flying fuck if it's "natural". In fact, Iexpectit not to be.

We would drive two towns over to get us some BK fires back in college

Yuengling fucking exploded overnight

They upped their distribution massively in the past few years. So it isn't shocking. I know quite a few Miller/Bud drinkers who have transitioned over to Yuengling because it tastes (slightly) better and isn't owned by a massive corporation.

I had never heard of them, then all of a sudden in the last month everyone in MA is drinking Yuengling. Just seemed to come out of nowhere.

I worked at BK during the "great fries" period. I worked in a mall so typically we were busy on the weekends, or at 5:30-6:30 week nights. During downtime we had 0 customers. I would always eat the shit out of the fries. Management always asked me where the fries went and I'd explain I had to toss them after so long. I also ate so many of their old godly nuggets (tenders?). Shit was so good. I would probably eat 20-30 in a typical 6 hour shift....

Management was never around. They always went shopping in the mall and left 2 of us to hold down the BK fort.

French fry stories!!!

In high school I worked at an outdoor music venue at the Boardwalk Fries cart. During intermission we'd be slammed, but for the other several hours I'd just stand there all by my lonesome and eat a constant stream of delicious Boardwalk fries. It was wonderful. However, I didn't have a roof so if it rained I'd get wet. Totally worth it, though.

Is Dairy Queen a national chain?

I had lunch there yesterday, the $5 lunch deal. Sandwich, fries, drink and a small sundae. My particular DQ allows substitution of fried mushrooms for fries for fifty cents.

Chili cheese dog, fried shrooms, iced tea, and a hot fudge sundae for $5.98. Pretty tasty.

Rochester is home of the hots. They do have some of the best dogs I've ever had. However, people in that area of NY must have dysfunctional taste buds, everyone around there thinks garbage plates are amazing and they might be the most hideous food I've ever had the displeasure of eating.

I generally worked at a soft-serve place at King's Island but every so often I'd get pulled over to the fries place. Similar to Boardwalk Fries but a bit thicker cut. Had to slice the potatoes in that contraption, blanch them then flash fry them. Best fries I've ever had in my life. Especially if you dipped them in nacho cheese. I'd constantly trade ice cream for fries.

You must be talking about Potato Works and I agree 100%. Greatest fries in all of Frydom.
