I love a burger at a good diner where they toss the bun on the grill so it's both toasted and a little greasy

Me too!  Untoasted buns just don't seem right.  I'm with Tortoise as well.  At home, I even butter them after toasting, because I hate it when the ketchup soaks into the bread. It has to float!   ;D

reggies used to do a great bagel burger, they'd fry the bagel on the flat top with the burger, so it absorbed the grease, and slathered it with fried onions....now that was good grease.

I haven't eaten a burger in months, but I generally don't care if the bread is toasted or not. I care more what kind of bread it is- I avoid the cheap white bread type. Some places here offer a brioche-type bun that I prefer.

Burger places that don't toast the buns.   C'mon people.

Yep, even at home, toss the bun on the grill for a bit, adds that crunch factor.

I love a burger at a good diner where they toss the bun on the grill so it's both toasted and a little greasy

Had a burger at Ossies's today for lunch and that's the way they do them there!  It was perfect! :lick:

Try Carmin's in St Stephen some time Tom. They do a great burger that way too.  I usually try and time my runs to the border to include lunch there.

I don't think I've ever had a burger at Ossie's.....too busy scarfing down clams! ;D

Moron at work that thinks he knows everything about cars- "the reason I did not buy a Duramax is because all they are is a modified 350 V8"
Me- "uhhh...what?!!??! They are an Isuzu design"
car expert-"nope, GM sent Isuzu a 350 engine and told them to modify it, I talked to a salesman at the car show, didn't want a shitty converted V8 diesel"
Me-
He drive a V6 Dodge Ram  :rofl: :rofl:

Same idiot last week, "took the 390 (that era of truck never got a 390 because the 390 was a Ford motor  :rofl: :rofl:) out of our 78 Chevy pickup and rebuilt it to 454 specs"
Also me-

I find it so awkward when he talks to me about anything car related because its absolutely obvious that he's a combination of liar and braggart which is a pretty solid combo  ::)

"You eat a lot of meals with a spoon, don't you?" gets asked a lot when speaking with people like that.  :(

Update on car expert, right before he left he told me more grand stories of his magical 390 pickup truck:
Car expert- "after I rejetted the carb, it would get 18mpg gallon empty or pulling this stock trailer with 6(he said either 6 or 8 and I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt) cows all day uphill or in heavy winds"

Me-

Empty...going downhill with a good tailwind in neutral, maybe 10-12. He said this was a 3+3 crewcab one ton 4x4 truck. I think that truck struggled to get into the double digits brand new out of the showroom.

Have you tried Amazon?
Nestlé controls the entire sale and price of capsules. While the machines are sold in various places, the capsules can only be bought on their own website or at a boutique. Normally I have to order online because the nearest brick-and-mortar is hundreds of kms away; figured I'd stop by while there already in the centre of Toulouse and wow.....yeah.......what a difference in price.

Kind of like how wine AOC Saint-Émilion normally runs 20-30 $US but in France it's fairly cheap 6-9€ bottle. Yes, I brought a bottle of wine back as well.
Ah, € and US$. Real money I wish we had....
