No, it's this trend that I've seen where they pile on fried onion ring that can't stay on the burger and fall out of the bun. I'm fine with grilled onions.

This makes the burger too fat.

It's a tired meme at this point but any restaurant that serves it's food on something 'quirky' rather than a fucking ceramic plate should be firebombed in minecraft.

I'll only make the exception here of soups and stews served in bread bowls, which are delicious.

I like the added crunch of an onion ring on a burger, but if it's just too thick you pretty much have to compress it down to nothing or like you said, unhinge your jaw.

Fried onion strips are the compromise. You get the taste and texture, but their smaller stature doesn't throw off the structural integrity of the burger

ok yeah that shit looks ridiculous and not at all fun to eat
i've never seen these over-stacked mega burgers IRL, only on the internet. are they actually common in america or just online memes for hungry fatties?

Depends on where you go out to eat, but overloaded burgers are fairly common out here. I don't know what kickstarted the trend though.

Not really a restaurant thing but shit like Blue Apron and every youtube nigger that shills for it

Just.....fucking wow. You cant be fucking arsed to google a half decent recipe and buy some basic ingredients/get them delivered to your house so you throw money at some shitty company that charges you 10x the value of the shit you get?

All the more reason for me to despise the hipster class.

Urg.

I do most of my shopping at Kroger. About... I dunno, six months or so ago, they put this cooler up front with what amounts to Kroger's own take on the concept. Basically meal kits ala Blue Apron in a nice box. But, I mean... You're already at the store. Why are you paying like 25+ dollars for a two person meal kit if you're already in a grocery store? At least Blue Apron delivers.

By comparison, while I don't shop at Publix much (I'm not rich enough to shop at Publix much... I mostly just stop in there for their sandwiches), they do a better take on the concept: They have a display up front where they put all the ingredients to a single dish, along with the recipe for it. You're buying all the ingredients separately, it's all stuff the store stocks, bought at the normal price, they just have this little, uh... "Here's an idea if you're having trouble of thinking of dinner tonight" kiosk.

Not really the direct fault of the restaurant (Though I guess they could implement some sort of age restriction), but people who bring their young children into restaurants are a blight on society. If you want to bring your teenager in sure, whatever, I can expect a teenager to at least not cause a scene or anything, but people that go to a restaurants and bring two or three kids between the ages of five and ten and can't keep them on a tight leash are the worst. I don't want to have to deal with a bunch of rambunctious children gallivanting around the restaurant, raising hell and generally being a nuisance while the parents look on, uncaring. Get some takeout and eat at home or something, don't subject me to your little goblin shrieking about how it wants this or that when you won't give it to them. I also despise bad seasonal gimmicks that don't at least stick to their season.

I really don't understand bars that allow kids in. (Or parents who think it's a good idea to bring their toddlers into a bar that doesn't even serve food.)

I have seen this happen a lot with people that like to go to hole in the wall BBQ pits in the South. People ignoring local food culture to seek out generic stuff from "abroad" that looks "exotic".

... Wow, I'm going to the wrong hole in the wall BBQ pits. The ones I go to typically serve pork, potatoes, corn, and the dreaded okra. Noting exotic.
