Originally Posted By hopemax I can not put ketchup on my burger. I blame my cousin, he used to put ketchup on EVERYTHING. And he would just eat it straight out of the packets. I remember one time we were in the food court at the museum in Milwaukee, I threw that in for DAR, and he ate like a dozen packets, and put it on pickles and other stuff. That was when I basically gave up ketchup. I will have a tiny bit on a hot dog and that is about it.

Actually though, long ago I got hooked on the trifecta thanks to copious consumption of McDLT's, and since then nothing else comes close. If I were President Obama, next time I got a burger I'd wash my hands with Dom Peringnon in front of the cameras, order my food with a side of truffles and caviar to take home to the dog, and demand a layer of edible gold on top of the cheese (probably best to call ahead on that one)..just to give them something to REALLY howl about.

And he should wear some damn expensive sneakers, too, just for good measure. "Fancy" burger. Mr. Hannity needs to get out more.

Originally Posted By BlueDevilSF It's *not* fancy if it's Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard made in the U.S. It's only fancy if it's something like Maille Dijon Mustard (made in France and it's the best).
