Hey 4chan, I need ideas for a special burger at my families restaurant, they are running out of ideas and don't have very good special daily burgers.
So Just comment Ideas and maybe you can get your burger featured at the restaurant.
Also if you live in vermont or near shelburne check out archies,
Think about what you're doing, friend.
You know what, I think my masterpiece is finally complete.
Your parents' restaurant has 2 stars on yelp.

"The formula for success in a local burger joint is more than local beef, recipes and location. It's making your customers feel welcome. It's a simple smile. It's an apology for being forgetting someone for a full 15 minutes on the phone as they attempted to call in a takeout order. "

>As we waited for the light to change this car turned into the driveway driving way to fast and I turned to my wife and said I'll bet he works at Archies and is late for his shift and well there he was outside the back door smoking a cigarette before his shift started when we parked. Yuck. I know many in the restaurant business smoke but I do hope he washed his hands before he started to cook. We went in and the guy at the counter was nice enough but I noticed that no one was smiling
Is this what flyover-Americans are really like?
>>7417151
>Vermont
>flyover
Last time I checked, no flyover states were communist hellholes.
>>7417158
Vermont is actually worse than a flyover, I guess, since it's not even relevant enough to fly over.
>>7416983
I don't know how common this is but I was convinced to try a bacon and pb burger. Shit was amazing.
Also maybe try novel toppings like a bacon jam, or a chutney.
Maybe smoked short rib meat separated from the bone and added to a patty. I'm just spitballing here.
>>7417158
Where would you be flying over from?
>>7417123
Yelp reviews are so fucking useless. Except for pics I guess.
>>7416983
mexican burger. guacamole, sour cream, salsa and cheese on it
>>7417190
also a bit of fresh cilantro/coriander might be nice in it
>>7417136
This.
That seems to be the magical thing that all the popular restaurants around here have.
I also live in hipster mchipsterville though.
Just watch bob's burgers.
MEME BURGER
>sad frog legs
>whole wheat buns with clover cut in
>american cheese
>ham
>side of feel fries
How about Walnut butter, melted brie, caramelized onions, and thin slices of granny smith apple on a multigrain roll.

more cheese is good cheese
>>7417190
I'm just gonna say this real Mexicans don't use cheese that an American thing
Marinara burger basically chicken parm but with a burger on a bun
>>7417361

Hamburger helper burger, burger with a gray noodle topping with cheese, chilli Mac burger same thing, breakfast burger pancake buns sausage eggs hash n potatoes, garlic n onions butter burger mince garlic n onions with a cube of butter into your Pattie add topping to taste, chicken fried steak burger with country gray and biscuits buns, just take stuff you make and make a burger burgers are easy... bacon jam is good bourbon sauces are fun adding fruit with the veg adds freshness Apple's are great for that.. shit ask a regular customer what they like n make them a burger with their favorite stuff
>>7417409
Yeah that's like a tex mex burger... n a real Mexican burger would be something with bugs lol or some crazy seafood and it has to have corn in some way
If you use anything from 4chan you have to call it the 4 chan
>>7417433

>>7417426

Lamb burger, tzatziki sauce, a more bitter type of green, tomato, thin sliced onion, some parsley maybe
Serve it in a pita or on a regular bun
>>7416983
YOU IDIOT
Just watch Bob's Burgers and do as they do!!
Do this, just make the patties bigger.
You should offer just a standard dry hamburger. When the customers are pissed that it tastes dry, you offter them a product called Ranch Hands. Because dipping and dunking is so 2011.
https://youtu.be/Kf-44Q9CEUQ
>>7416983
a burger that's 20% bigger than a normal one. call it the "IWTCIRD"
>>7417123
they didn't pay the extortion fee to remove the bad reviews
How about a 'Jack of all trades' burger?
Rare chicken, melt in your mouth party cheese salad and claw pulled brisket lumps all lovingly smothered in the best BBQ sauce you'll ever taste.
>>7417361
>real mexicans dont use cheese!!!!
This is gringos actually believe.
>>7417172
not the rethugnican you replied to, but whenever I fly on a polar route (to asia) I usually fly over vermont or at least that general area.
>>7419482
This. Maybe Mexicans don't use cheese on street tacos, but cheese is used all over the place in plenty of other dishes.
>>7419509
not on burgers though, or as the mehicanos say, "hamburguesas" (the h is silent)
you'd know this if you weren't such a gringo
I bet you've never even had lengua
now scurry on back to chipotle, you soccer mom. cultured people are talking.
>>7416983

Fuck off, Shill

My grandfather's name was literally Jose Hernandez, before he died of ass cancer.
do research at The Burger Lab.
you might be inspired.
Consider the following:
>>7419566
He changed his name after dying?
>>7420131
You don't have a name when you're dead.
>>7420138
Then how do they assign headstones?
>>7420143
The headstones denote the names they once had.
>>7420148
Then why don't they say the corpse formally known as, like Prince did?
>>7420151
It's implied.
>>7420152
Implications aren't set in stone.
>>7420152
Don't you mean "inferred"?
>>7420159
Leave him alone, he barely speaks English and can't afford a proper headstone for his abuelo.
>>7416983
Stealing this burger for my restaurant, thanks OP
Maybe some exotic meets?
>>7420179
I am not certain what kind of customer would order a semen spurting beef volcano. Never mind, I just answered my question.
>>7420159
No, I don't. A headstone can't infer anything, because an inference is a though process. However, a person would be able to infer that from the implication.
People get those two words confused all the time, and I'll never understand why.
The subject is a good burger for a mom and pop shop. Probably both bacon and cheese should be involved.
>>7420291
Looks like onion rings w/ranch to me.

>>7419476
Kek
>>7421228
You made me hard with this.
Not sure if the porkbelly would improve on that flavor profile as well as classic crispy bacon would, but it could be a nice step forward. I'll try it!
>>7417151
This sounds like south park.
Are there actually people like that?
>>7417151
You missed the last half of the review
>No one was smiling. Hmmm. We placed our order and found a seat. The inside of the newly renovated place is great. Nice tables. Nice decor. Open kitchen. We sat down and I asked my wife if she noticed that NO ONE was smiling behind the counter and she said she had noticed that as well. It was busy and we picked up our order when our name was called. We each had a cheese burger. My wife had the sweet potato fries and I had the famous Archie homemade Chips. The burger was cooked to our order although generally they are cooked medium rare unless you ask for them to be cooked longer. They are fine quality LaPlatte meat. I think the famous hand made chips are way way over cooked. For my taste. Also what is up with putting butter or oil on buns. Yuck. So greasy. I should have asked but forgot. My bad. The sweet potato fries were overcooked for me but my wife liked hers. So OK we didn't try much on the menu and the place seemed packed for a lunch on a Saturday. But still no one was smiling. That to me is an indicator of something wrong in the kitchen. So would I come again? Probably but also more than likely not. I really wanted to like the new Archies.
This guy seems like the fucking smile police
>>7421228
You had me until "House BBQ sauce".
You might as well say "Our legendary burger served with our famous potato wedges and chef's own secret slaw".
You're full of shit.

>Zebras are not endangered
Why even add that
>>7422427
Because people are retarded and think anything from Africa is literally on the verge of extinction.
1. Go big
2. Claim it's grass fed and up charge
3. Use different meats that are not of the norm but will not scare off casuals
4. Spicy
5. Move away and cut contact with family
>>7419461
>ponies
Really
>>7422449
If only :^)
How about serving a really good standard burger and get your shit together before sperging out to zebra meat and sperm vulcano? Seriously, nobody asked for this
>>7422498
>Claim it's grass fed and up charge
>uppity hipster types get shafted because of obvious 2 star yelp service
>they call in an inspector because they wouldn't have to pay for it

great plan

>tfw I'm not sure I'll ever have my authentic 2 carne asada, 1 spicy pork, and 1 lengua taco lunch for $4 ($2 on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays) ever again
And the menudo..... God I miss the menudo
Was the salary increase worth the sacrifice?
>mfw
>>7422419
Out of the two reviews I read, both gave two stars but when they asked themselves "would I return?", both answered "probably".
Does this say anything?
>>7417593
im making this as we speak. will post final product in about an hour
>>7419464
lol yelp doesn't go after businesses like that and there's only 3 reviews and they are all bad. No hidden reviews. This place just sounds like it sucks shit and the manager/owner is probably a huge cunt if the employees are that dour. I know yelp and while they are shady, it doesn't make a good place 2 stars.

Start making cuts to the menu of things that don't sell well/often.
Knock it off with the "foodie" terminology/tactics from five years ago-- no one buys a burger with maple syrup on it more than once, and I don't give a fuck if you've 'infused' your onion rings with a mediocre import beer. Also, Jesus H. Christ you'd have to be insane to pay $3.25 to sub in onion rings. Figure out a way to let people sub without asking them to take out a second loan.
Focus on making a good-as-fuck classic burger (keep sourcing locally whenever it's possible). Offer regular deals and promos, get involved with community events, and play up your status as a local establishment in the community. Also, tell the grumpy old fucks running the joint to stop being fucking grumps.
>>7419509
but we do use cheese on tacos, but we call these kind "gringas" which are (usually) made with flour tortillas.
>>7424335
Worth it?
>>7424390
All this. I don't understand why burger places tend to get so out of touch with their consumer base, like they don't understand burgers anymore. Any meme combo's, make them rotating and don't bother printing them onto your actual menu. Try a bunch of different things, but be ready to throw the offer away for new ones, and bring back the one's that people miss and get requested. Shit shouldn't be that hard.
People are willing to pay a few extra bucks for good fucking quality, interesting burgers. Play with price points, but yeah bring the onion rings down in price. They're onions.
>>7424427
Total pain in the ass to make. No doubt about it. But as I sit here weaving in and out of consciousness I'd say fuck yea. Fuck yea it's worth it. Cant find that African spice doe. But the onions, and the pear mix are so strong Im not sure how much impact it would have.
>tldr
DO IT
>>7416983
Hey, I live right by but have ever eaten there. I might stop by at some point only if the workers say 'WA LA' upon giving me my food.
>>7424390
Of all the beers to infuse your onion rings with, why on earth did your family pick Guinness. May as well be infusing it with piss
>>7422533
Hahaha
