    I did that once (please - MANY times) and their third try, it came from the microwave. I was an unhappy female.

    Link to the Burger Club evaluation form There were a couple of good suggestions made over the last couple of Burger Clubs that I need to incorporate. One is putting a ruler down the side so we can measure our burgers. Another was to improve the layout of the toppings checkboxes. I'm going to try to get to these items this weekend. If anyone has any other suggestions, post them here! Jamie You know, this has been bugging me for a while... the subjectivity of the form makes no sense. If we rate juiciness or grease based on what we like, how can anyone read it objectively? If someone's looking for a moderate amount of grease, but we happen to like super greasy, or no grease, but juice, it skews how it's viewed. Not that this has anuything to do with the form... just an aside. Also, now that I'm understanding the form better, I'd like to change my first two scores. They are definitely too high.
  4. What fun your day sounds like. Good and bad.
  5. That can be arranged. I'd also say if it's clear, it's fine.

    CHEERWINE

    I'd love to try it sometime.
  7. thebaker, this doesn't happen every time, right? What made these times different?
  8. Fat Guy, you have no pictures of this cake? What happened?
  9. Woah, you give nice Christmas gifts! I really don't know how long, sorry. It's a coupon, remember, so get one on the way in. I'd call my local to find out.

    Opening Soon.

    Wow! What a venture. I would LOVE to see it. Best of luck.
  11. In case anyone's interested, Costco has a $30 coupon of their 5 qt KitchenAid 350 watts', begining today. So it's $249 minus $30. A very good deal.
  12. Well, fresco, the oil I have is completely new. And sometimes, ya just need oil.
  13. This is very interesting. I DESPISE cruciferousvegetables. On the other hand, I have never thought they tasted like fish. When I was cooking in provincetown in... '90, I think it was, my boss tried out canola. Newly cleaned fryers, new oil, fried some chicken. I thought I somehow made a mistake and threw in fish. Same thing with onion chunks. He didn't order it again. I have new canola in the kitchen now, and won't use it unless desparate. Ewww.
  14. Youre thinking of something else... And that would be...?
  15. Tastes like fish.
  16. I think honey hardens when it crystalizes, which happens when it's cold or old, but can be heated and it will liquify. It's not really a chemical reaction. Sesame and honey can't be undone, I don't think.
  17. Canola oil, Jon? That is totally disgusting. You may as well added some Z Carb bars.
  18. The first thing that occured to me when I read the word sesame, was whether there was honey too. Two words later was honey. Yes, I can think that quickly, time to time. I know honey mixed with sesame seeds causes this hardening reaction, which is how we get lucious halvah, so maybe the same reaction occurs with the oil.

    it had occurred to me that perhaps the biggest thing coming out of this is that several people are basically having good to great burgers ruined for them under the microscope. burgers are best enjoyed with a few drinks when your senses are a bit out of whack to begin with. like many things that are fun, you don't want to turn up the lights and have too close a look. I disagree entirely. I usually have a coke with my burgers, and I ALWAYS scrutinize what I'm eating.

    Regardless of the crappy burgers we're finding, I think ti's still a good culinary experiment in that we are differentiating the good burgers from bad. I think it has nothing to do with social experiment at all, since we're consistently fab with that. Or is it just how long anyone can stand my rules without killing me? About delivering 17 burgers at once, again. we're not exactly rating the restaurant, we're rating the burgers, and if they arrive unlike we had ordered them, they SHOULD GO BACK. The more I think of it, the angrier I am with not mentioning the price hike, and especially the 18% tip for the total fuck of a waiter.

    I think the form is only to be used by people who want to use them. But you should form an opinion based on the burger's particulaties and state them here, please. I'm not sure if everyone's done it, but that's what we're here for.

    Pan, I feel awful for YOU. I mislead you based on... well, you know. And none of us realised it until half of everybody left, and we all had already thrown our money in. We then all threw in more. Believe you me, we were all pissed off at the price change. I'm definitely going to speak to the manager about this unless someone else has a gift for this type of thing. I don't. Who really looked at the bill? Did they charge us for the onion rings? I'll be seriously irked if they did.
