I wouldn't give Portillo's or the gyro place up the street any shit for that tomato, but gourmet celebrity chef fancy schmancy $13 dollar hamburgers shouldn't have a tomato like that on it.

That was too funny, Stealth. But @ garlic: that is my biggest peeve about any restaurant that serves hamburgers. If the tomato is not fresh, then please just don't put it on. There is nothing worse than a crunchy, tasteless, whitish tomato. I am not aware of any law that states you have to have a tomato, regardless of its color, freshness or taste, on a burger. But there should be a law that states you cannot put imitation tomatoes or pinkish discs on a burger.

That tomato looks terrible. Look how pale and white it is.

Nice looking burger. I made a pretty good one myself last night: burger on one of those Mexican bread-things (botelo?), toasted with red onion, tomato and pesto sauce. Pretty good. I shocked myself. Next, have to try the egg on top.

That looks so warm and tasty. Hey chuck, I hit "Weiner and still champion" last night, lured by the bacon. Is it normally just the one guy? He looked like Artie Lang's older brother and he was all alone against a pretty decent rush. The bacon? Sinfully good. The dipping sauces on the corn dogs though, dear god I fear I may die of delicious.
