I love your website. The only critcism I have is the instagraming but it makes your site more stylish. I want to see what food and restaurants will look like if I'm actually there, not an instagram that makes everything looks more romantic and delicious or more atmospheric than it actually may be.
This does not tell me what the Burger in Inglewood looks like. It looks like what the burger looks like through an iphone camera app that tries to make it look like a Burger I would have taken a picture of in 1965 on a Polaroid that I left out in the sun in the back of a Chevy Pinto. Coincidentally I would love to eat a Burger in the 60s. Artistically, it's fantastic and makes you feel warm and fuzzy but I guess I will make my eating choices off the copy instead of the photos.
The Zellers family restaurant entry had me tearing up a bit though.

So I tried Five Guys last week and I was really disappointed. I loved the fries (had Cajun) and the peanuts and atmosphere and everything but the Burger was very disappointing. I guess it's because I don't like big burgers and I don't understand them. It's a cacophany of flavors in a big ball of goo in my mouth.
I can't taste the charred beef, I can't taste the individual toppings, it was too much. In the future I may try it again with the single patty and being VERY restrictive on the toppings (perhaps just mushrooms and onions).
My favorite Burger at the moment (shoot me if you must) is the $1.99 Whopper on Whopper Wednesdays. You take it home, throw the patty into your own broiler for a bit to crisp it up, toast the buns a little, add some of your own ingredients and sauces to it and it's the perfect size where the food doesn't overpower you for a fantastic price.

The most 'modding' I've ever done to my fast food has been putting Frank's on some Jr. Chickens from McDonald's. So good.

You guys should have a look at Garrison Pub. The Garrison burger is pretty delicious.
Homemade patty, bacon, ham, and all the toppings. I actually couldn't get through it on Saturday when I tried it. It's one of those massive burgers that are hard to eat, and come with a stack of napkins.

All that it says on the space is "coming soon" which is what it has said for a couple of months now.

Just because they offer all those toppings doesn't mean you have to have all of them on your burger.

I find the biggest problem with 5 guys is that the bun isn't sturdy enough to hold the burger and toppings together. I went light on the toppings last time with just lettuce, grilled onion, grilled mushroom, and bbq sauce, and the bun was still soggy and falling apart.

This is why I could never be an effective burger critic. I'm like an asian bukkake star when it comes to burgers. I want all the toppings, piled as high as my mouth will open (which is pretty large). If I could get a fully loaded, battered, deep fried burger I would.
I'm a total burger wh*re. They're all good. I judge none of them.

Five guys - Lettuce, tomato, fresh onions green pepper and A1 - the a1 is thicker and better tasting than the generic BBQ sauce, thus the bun doesn't get soggy that quickly

My Five guys burger goes like this...
Little Bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions, light jalepenos and extra cheese. Once in awhile I do green pepper instead of jalapenos. The raw jalapenos are awesome though.

I love Harveys. Your top-rated burgers are not twice as good.
Please review White Spot burgers with the Triple O sauce.

Yeah it is on our list – in fact they’ve asked us a couple times to come and review them. I think our priorities right now are:
Burger Inn
South Street
White Spot
Fat Burger
Peters?
Lounge Burger
We’ve also got a tip about some place that claims to have the best burger in town
But you guys tell me – what is the next place you want us to tackle?

this is where i might get wary. if they invite you and know you're coming, then they can be sure to put the best possible product they can in front of you instead of what the average Joe might get instead
