WE WILL BURN YOU AT THE STEAK!................
I got a kick out of that, remembering the old saw about never eating at a place called "Mom's" or playing cards with a man named "Doc." A local nondescript bar/grill serves the best burgers in the area here too, and if you aren't from these parts, you'd have no idea it existed.
Yes, the Maid-Rite franchises are pretty much limited to the upper Midwest, and people from other parts of the country are often surprised to learn that the sandwiches there are not "sloppy joes." At one time, there seemed to be a policy in some of the franchise locations to not only not keep ketchup on the tables, but to avoid even saying the word.
“Which, incidentally, is the same stuff used to make the best MAID-RITES. I am a burger guy too, but will eat honest-to-God maid-rites and not feel remorse. “Sloppy joes” - ugh - are not the same thing as maid-rites.”
Maid-Rite is a distinctly Iowa thing.
I didn’t know they had locations outside Iowa until I searched the name.
They have a location at the Wings Over America truck stop in Avoca, IA.
The first time I saw one it looked like a sloppy joe without the sloppy part.
I never did try one but if I get through Iowa again I’ll make sure to give it a go.
I remember when McDonald’s was the worst burger around. Many independent burger stands were much better. Sonic is now one of the best to me, and McDonald’s has improved greatly, but our old independent burger joint is still in business.
Gone are the days when you often saw the sign...”5 BURGERS FOR A DOLLAR!” You could feed the family on an outing for that.
But then you could get 6 gallons of gas for a dollar. Just drive in and say...”Gimme a dollar’s worth of gas!
This article has more truth in it than perhaps anything I’ve read in five years that wasn’t written by Donald Trump.
Ever since I've stayed away from super pricey Japanese beef.
I will eat cheese on a pizza. That’s about it.
“I will eat cheese on a pizza. That’s about it.”
We would make a good team. I’m lactose intolerant and I’d eat everything else.
“Regular” mustard means brown mustard where you can see mustard seeds and actually grasp the organic reality of what it is you’ve applied to your burger. Dijon mustard is fine too. Yellow mustard is an unnatural and probably dangerous substance. It might be useful for killing roaches. I don’t know. Won’t allow it in my house.
That ain’t a burger, it’s a grilled sausage sammich.
Sounds tasty but still a sausage sammich.
What I mean is that a pizza is the only place I want to see cheese. I’ll push the mushrooms and olives over to your side.
Well, how about the lactose intolerant? Who wants diarrhea every time they eat a cheeseburger?
Also, Orthodox Jews. Exodus 23:19: "Thou shall not seethe a kid in his mother's milk." Which means "exnay" on the Cheeseburgers (No milk and meat together. Heck, I know some Jews who won't eat a turkey omelet because it violates the tenants of this commandment).

Don’t know about all that stuff you’re saying. Regular mustard to me means Frenches in the yellow squirt bottle. Been using it all my life and btw will be 74 next month....
For a decent hamburger butcher a Holstein cow. For some reason the taste is beyond comparison.
I miss the days we did our own butchering. We ate real meat that wasn’t half water and grease. The burgers did not shrink when cooked.
It isn’t sausage, it’s fresh ground pork. There’s a huge difference.
*- KS is corret, in order for something to qualify as a "burger" it at the very least must contain meat.
Seethe
archaic
cook (food) by boiling it in a liquid.
I’m not an Orthodox Jew, but it sure seems like it’s a stretch to say adding a slice of cheese to a burger (especially after the burger is cooked) violates “Thou shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.”
RE” “Heck, I know some Jews who won’t eat a turkey omelet because it violates the tenants of this commandment).”
Trying to figure out how they milk the turkeys... :-)
No thanks on ketchup but heaps of muatard, a runny fried egg, bacon, strong onions, chile, jalapenos, cheese...just about anything elae is good
Not ketchup
“American cheese is the quintessential burger cheese”
For someone on another continent in the other hemisphere, what is AMERICAN cheese?
Food coloring, grease, and petroleum byproducts. Maybe some sweepings from the floor of a dairy barn. Nasty stuff.
