look. imagine a place where the burger is not native. where the best burger you can hope for is... adequate.
imagine, if you will, a country shaped like a schnitzel.
in the twilight zone.

Portland 2005, except it's damn near impossible to get a bad meal in Portland. Best food I ever had consistently in my life.

I can already hear the stomp clap music
I wouldn't judge a book by its cover. Following aesthetic trends is just being savvy, it's not necessarily compensating for something.

Bar around the corner of my house is like this. I've never been because is they're across the street from a hole in the wall Japanese place that is really, really good, so whenever I'm walking out of my house to eat that's where I go.
Burgercore!

The most mediocre dining experience (for the money) I've ever had was at a restaurant called "Smallwares." Emphasis on small, it turns out. Case in point, we ordered duck breast, which cost a fair bit. I was picturing at least a fair amount, but it was the smallest smidgen slivered up with a dollop of sauce. It was the same with every dish, high prices for not much food.
Sure there were other places that had worse food. One remote dinner lacked any fresh food, but you can't really help that when you're in the middle of nowhere. But never have I felt like I was being fed by Famine from Good Omens.
The burger is fine, but the sides are usually amazing.
If they're good they'll be overpriced
