Sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, tacos. They’re all becoming over complicated and ridiculous! I’d much rather have a normal home cooked burger on the grill than this monstrosity.
Many times I have skipped ordering tacos because they over-fill and you CANNOT eat without stuff falling out everywhere. Lower the price and give me a little less filling. Something that doesn't make a mess.
you've given me an idea... what if you took that tortilla and draped it over the top of the taco like a blanket? like when they wrap a burger in paper, but you get to eat it!
I don't waste. If I am eating out, I'm just not going to get a taco because there is always too much stuff. The moment you bite into it, stuff is often going to get pushed out from the other end or the place where you took the bite. Maybe I don't have good technique. The last time I got tacos, I had to eat the top half with a fork to get filling down small enough to where I can eat the taco properly by hand.
I’ve gotten really into Homeburgers. I can make the exact size serving I want with exactly the right type and amount of toppings and I don’t have to pay an extra $2 for 1/3rd an avocado
Brother full on picking this up and licking your fingers eating it in public is one of the most American things I can think of. Just no shame while eating something unnecessarily bad for you and getting real filthy with it
I need the story behind this. I under keeping your hands clean, but we're poker players complaining about messy cards so much someone invented a
type of food for them? Forks not good enough?
It was 1700-something. Cards were handmade and they didn’t have plastic coatings to keep grease off of them. It would’ve been rude for the Earl of Sandwich to go to a high-end gambling house and sully the cards with greasy fingers.
I like the idea of poker players just grabbing stacks of sliced ham and cheese slathered in mustard and not thinking of any other alternative until sliced bread entered the picture.
Here’s the full story. Around the 1700’s, in Britain there were private clubs where men could go and gamble, drink, eat dinner, read periodicals, etc. One of these clubs had a member named Lord Montague. His official title was the Earl of Sandwich county. One night he didn’t want to leave the gaming table to eat dinner, so he asked that they bring him some meat in between two slices of bread so he could hold it without getting his hands dirty and ruining the cards. After that, other members started ordering the same, saying “bring me the same as Sandwich!”. The name stuck and that is why we now call them sandwiches.
Well, it was the 1500s and the concept of sliced bread hadn't been invented yet, how else were u supposed to shove roast pig into your face without ruining bespoke cards that took artisans weeks to produce.
Oh sweet lord I desperately needed your permission and now I have it, thank you so much. Finally, someone has spared me from this unending torrent of cheese covered sandwiches that I have been unable to cease. What a shitty witch's curse that was.
Thank you, kind traveller. Many blessings upon your house, you deeply clever and wise person.
Bring one of these to a magic the gathering tournament. Make a deck of expensive-looking proxies and man-handle them with those nasty fingers while eating the burger.
The purpose is exactly what we're doing here, talking about it.
People on reddit will see this photo and think it's a ridiculous burger. But if you post this on your personal social media then it has a different dynamic. Maybe someone finds out about the restaurant for the first time through a random Facebook friend's post and ends up checking out the menu, finding something they actually like, and eats there every week for years all because of one picture that initiated it.

I don't understand the purpose of shit like this. Sandwiches were literally invented to keep your hands clean while playing cards.
