Never had a white hot but Genny cream is my favorite beer. Hard to find it in Las Vegas.


You can get both kinds of hot dogs (reds and whites or, as they are also known, Texas and Porkers) shipped to you from the "New York Style Deli. If there's a Wegman's in your area you could try them too. Just make sure you get the pop-opens and not the skinless. The skinless suck.

Genny was one of the sponsors of my college rugby club. Loved it on tap, but have not had it in at least thirty years.

Lee's liquor caries it in can but I would also prefer a draft.

For a short time in the late 70s, they experimented with a shorter wider bottle with a mouth about the size of a silver dollar. Perfect for chugging. They ended it, supposedly because bars didn't like the way it fit into coolers. I think it was because it encouraged binge drinking before we knew what binge drinking was. They also made much better traveling urinals than the standard beer bottle.

Was the food hot when you got it? I had one bad experience with a delivery service in Vegas and never tried them again.

Burger was but fries were cold and gross.

Maybe a logo brand redesign will improve the flavor of their burgers...

Wait, isn't the "after" the same as their old (70's-80's) logo?

I believe you are correct.
I like "retro" looks, like the McDonald's near the Stratosphere.



There are lots of different looks of McDonald's in the US:

No burger can compare to the one
you make yourself. Grind your own
sirloin burger, cook it rare/medium
rare. Gruyere cheese, carmelized
onions, bacon, tomato, green leaf
lettuce, lots of garlic mayo and dijon
and butter on the buns. Some even
put on a fried egg and let the yolk run
everywhere.

I always liked Fatburger when I lived in Vegas. None in Reno though. Red Robin has great burgers too.

There was a joint here called Fatmans
Burger Shack that was opened in
the 30's. It was always busy, best
burgers in town. In the mid 80's
there was the 'fat will kill you' scare
and they were forced go to a lean
burger. In less than a month they
lost 80% of their customers. It
took them a year to get back to
normal.

May I suggest replacing the sirloin with lamb. That's what my wife does. She also uses a horseradish mayo and leaves out the mustard. Other than that her recipe pretty much matches yours.

To me that looks disgusting.

This is what a cheeseburger should look like.

QSR's drive thru study reports that approximately 50 million customers per day eating on the go (even pre - pandemic ) representing more than 60% of their business comes via the drive thru.
Regarding even the best burgers, ( your personal preference ) , some are less messy for eating on the go , but for the most part they all result in Burger dribble on your shirt
or in your lap.
And yet.........where's the closest drive thru...

But...but...where's the bacon? Where's the BBQ sauce? And only one slice of cheese?

I assume by the color that that's cheddar and not American cheese - you have that going for it.

I prefer a burger with lettuce, tomato and onions
It adds to the taste and makes the burger a little more healthy

I don't like all that lean hamburger meat, it sucks. Sometimes they run out of the 72% and the only option is 85% so i just skip it.

That looks horrible, just eat some meatloaf instead.

the cheeses looks oily, therefore, I would also assume its cheddar.

Both of your suggestions look bad. I don't know when they started to put eggs on everything but it's ridiculous to put an egg on a hamburger. It's just some dumb trend /fad all the cooking shows get all wet over.

The best burgers are smashed thin and done on a flat top.

I used to eat at this place daily. It has a really good burger and it's done the way it should be.

The cheese belongs inside the burger patty not on the outside. Juicy Lucy!
