As far as franchise restaurants go Licks and Hero would be the only two worth mentioning for "good" burgers.
And even so there are many other places to get even better "quick" ("fast") burgers...
Dangerous Dans (Queen East)
Burger Shack (Oriole Parkway)
Golden Star Restaurant (Yonge)
Allen's (Danforth)
Utopia (College)

VINCENT Yes, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? JULES I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they're definitely dirty. But a dog's got personality. And personality goes a long way. VINCENT So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he's cease to be a filthy animal? JULES We'd have to be talkin' 'bout one motherfuckin' charmin' pig. It'd have to be the Cary Grant of pigs. The two men laugh. |

BEST FILM EVER!!!
The dialouge between the characters is brilliant, love how so much of it seems needless and nonsense but then is so critical and important to the character development at the same time... QT is a genius!
One of the best scenes is when they get the Marcelus's soul from Brad and the boys...
When Jules bust down the lessons of business to poor brad...

| BRETT (to Jules) Look, what's your name? I got his name's Vincent, but what's yours? JULES My name's Pitt, and you ain't talkin' your ass outta this shit. BRETT I just want you to know how sorry we are about how fucked up things got between us and Mr. Wallace. When we entered into this thing, we only had the best intentions � As Brett talks, Jules takes out his gun and SHOOTS Roger three times in the chest, BLOWING him out of his chair. Vince smiles to himself. Jules has got style. Brett has just shit his pants. He's not crying or whimpering, but he's so full of fear, it's as if his body is imploding. JULES (to Brett) Oh, I'm sorry. Did that break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue. I believe you were saying something about "best intentions." Brett can't say a word. JULES Whatsamatter? Oh, you were through anyway. Well, let me retort. Would you describe for me what Marsellus Wallace looks like? Brett still can't speak. Jules SNAPS, SAVAGELY TIPPING the card table over, removing the only barrier between himself and Brett. Brett now sits in a lone chair before Jules like a political prisoner in front of an interrogator. JULES What country you from! BRETT (petrified) What? JULES "What" ain't no country I know! Do they speak English in "What?" BRETT (near heart attack) What? JULES English-mother******-can-you-speak- it? BRETT Yes. JULES Then you understand what I'm sayin'? BRETT Yes. JULES Now describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like! BRETT (out of fear) What? Jules takes his .45 and PRESSES the barrel HARD in Brett's cheek. JULES Say "What" again! C'mon, say "What" again! I dare ya, I double dare ya mother******, say "What" one more goddamn time! Brett is regressing on the spot. JULES Now describe to me what Marsellus Wallace looks like! Brett does his best. BRETT Well he's... he's... black � JULES � go on! BRETT ...and he's... he's... bald � JULES � does he look like a bitch?! BRETT (without thinking) What? Jules' eyes go to Vincent, Vincent smirks, Jules rolls his eyes and SHOOT Brett in the shoulder. Brett SCREAMS, breaking into a SHAKING/TREMBLING SPASM in the chair. JULES Does-he-look-like-a-bitch?! BRETT (in agony) No. JULES Then why did you try to fuck 'im like a bitch?! BRETT (in spasm) I didn't. Now in a lower voice. JULES Yes ya did Brett. Ya tried ta fuck 'im. You ever read the Bible, Brett? BRETT (in spasm) Yes. JULES There's a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." The two men EMPTY their guns at the same time on the sitting Brett. |

HAPPY NATIONAL CHEESEBURGER DAY!!!
National Cheeseburger Day
September 18
TALE of the CHEESEBURGER
By Evan Henerson � STAFF WRITER
San Gabriel Valley Tribune
June 23, 1999
It's been 73 years since grill chef Lionel Sternberger at the Rite Spot restaurant in Pasadena attached cheese to ground beef and made sure Jimmy Buffett would have something to chomp on and warble about � during his stay in Paradise. The cheeseburger, baby. A Pasadena invention.
That's right, SoCal burgermeisters. You already know you can claim the Big Mac (McDonald's began as a hot dog stand in San Bernardino), the Big Boy (thank you, Bob Wian formerly of Glendale), and of course Baldwin Park's own In-N-Out Double Double. The hamburger museum may be In Seymour, Wis., but when it comes to burgers, nobody fries, steams, grills or flame lands quite like California.
But on Friday, designated National Cheeseburger Day by the American Dairy Association, fire up the grill, break out the condiments, and hoist your messy monster skyward. Raise a glass to Sternberger inventor of the "aristocratic hamburger with cheese, " the very first: cheeseburger...
If you believe the lore.
Jeffrey Tennyson does. In conducting research for his 1995 book "Hamburger Heaven, the Illustrated History of the Hamburger," (Little, Brown Publishers, $15) Tennyson said he interviewed former restaurant employees who confirmed that the Rite Spot is where the cheeseburger debuted � although it was called the cheese hamburger.
"The person who corroborated this information for me is no longer Alive," said Tennyson, who lives in Los Angeles. "I think I came across one other place that claimed to have originated it. I stand by this one." Jim Heimann, conducting research for a book on California architecture, discovered an article in Pacific Coast Record, which covered the restaurant industry. That article, dated August of 1937, recounted how Sternberger rejuvenated a newly purchased roadside burger stand, the former Hinky Dick, at 1500 W. Colorado Blvd., located on historic Route 66 just before the entrance to Eagle Rock.
By throwing a piece of cheese on his burger, Sternberger started drumming up serious business. He later expanded the Rite Spot and opened locations in Highland Park and Glendale. The restaurant was later purchased by the operators of Henry's.
The relocated Rite Spot � now the site of Louise's Trattoria - closed in 1993 and seems to have reaped mom attention for its mural satirizing Pasadena City Hall (remember "City Hell') than for any cheeseburger lore. Let's face it: it doesn't take a Wolfgang Puck to throw a couple of tasty ingredients together. But if you're going to lay claim to the Cheeseburger Founder title � label and all � you better have proof. Forget about apple pies, Chevrolet and baseball, you can't get more American than the cheeseburger.
Mike [Freak], who works for an insurance holding company in New York and operates the web site cufturefreak.com, became convinced of the cheeseburger's pop cultural significance during the time he spent living in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1994.
"In the Midwest, cheeseburgers were just everywhere," said Juhre, "roadside stands, TV ads, diners, everywhere. It was like my flag of the United States of America."
Culturefreak.com, which Juhre describes as a "fun-filled critique of late 20th century consumer culture" contains 29 references to the cheeseburger. A recent entry is an article from Brandweek magazine displaying the results of Chef America research on fast food. Think the cheeseburger is the ubiquitous fast food? In fact the product is third fastest selling fast food item, outsold by pizza and...get this, the ham and cheese sandwich. Outsold by ham and cheese? Lionel Sternberger would be spinning in his grave.
Don't mention Mr. Sternberger or the Rite Spot to burger lovers in Denver or Louisville, Ky. Current and former restaurateurs in those two cities claim it was their little spot that placed the cheeseburger on the map in the early 1930s. What's more, they say they've got the proof.
At the site of the now defunct Humpty Dumpty Barrel Drive-In in Denver (known in its hey day simply as "the Barrel" because of its shape) sits a 3 foot granite monument. 'On this site in 1935, Louis E. Ballast created the cheeseburger" it reads. According to research conducted by the Colorado Historical Society, Ballast was a high school dropout who worked at a furniture store and bought the Barrel at age 20. During slow times, he tinkered with ways to spruce up the basic hamburger trying, among other things peanut butter and even � do NOT try this at home � melting a Hershey bar over it.
One day, his decision to place a slice of American cheese on the burger seemed to please his customers, who were willing to fork out 25 cents for the new product. Clearly sensing that he had a worthy invention on his hands, Bailast went to the Colorado Secretary of State's Office on March 5, 1935 to file an application to register the trademark of the word "cheeseburger."
Ballast's son, David, still has the trademark application, but he says his father was never able to ensure that the exclusivity rights to the term were ever enforced � in Colorado or anywhere else. "He didn't know what the procedure was and he couldn't t follow up to keep other people from using the word," Kid David Ballast who worked at the Barrel when he was 13.
Regardless, the Barrel hung a sign that read "home of the original cheeseburger" which remained until the drive-in closed in 1974. And for the record, the Louis Ballast cheeseburger included sweet relish, a secret sauce, shredded lettuce and a toasted bun.
At Kaelin's restaurant in Louisville, they scoff at the very mention of Ballast and the Barrel. OK, so they don't exactly scoff. Kaelin's employees are far too friendly. But restaurant owner Irma Ruche says it was her parents, Carl and Margaret Kaolin who really invented the cheeseburger. Remember the old Reeses Peanut Butter Cup commercials? The ones that showed a klutz holding a chocolate bar barreling into a doofus with a jar of peanut butter thereby discovering "too great tastes that taste great together?" Well, the marriage of burger and cheese was almost as happenstance, says Raque.
Margaret Kaelin, an outstanding cook her daughter says, was throwing together some lunch for her husband, the founder of Kaelin's. As she was frying up burgers with one hand, she was holding a few slices of American cheese, left over from the children's lunches, that she meant to put away.
Carl took one look at the two items and decided to add a little spice to his life...er lunch. "He said, 'Margaret put a little cheese on those hamburgers and let's see what it looks like,' " said Raque who runs Kaelin's Restaurant with her son. "He liked how it tasted. Then she said, 'I believe I'll try that, too.' " The lunch crowd that arrived at Kaelin s that day agreed that Carl and Margaret were on to something, with their burger with cheese. But the creation would need a name. One of the customers suggested "Kaelin's Cheeseburger."
The Kaelins never went for patents, but their souvenir menus � encouraging customers to "Try Kaelin's Cheese, burgers...15 cents...You'll like 'em" � show the invention being offered in 1934.
Then as now, the Kaelin's cheeseburger is fried up in an iron skillet with plenty of grease. The bun is toasted and buttered and the cheese is Kraft American.
In 1990, TV news stations in Louisville and Denver staged a contest pitting Kaelin's and the Barrel against each other for cheeseburger-invention boasting rights with Kaelin's emerging victorious. (The Rite Spot wasn't in the running). Raque and Ballast say the debate was and still is all in good fun ... and both stand by their claim that thanks to their parents' invention, the world is a tastier � and more caloric place.
i could go for a good burger right about now.

Can anybody recommend a good veggie burger?
I know someone is going to tear me a new ass for this...
But, being veggie or vegan is cool if that's your game...by all means, go for it, it's healthy and good for you, I admire you for it actually (I will eat anything that walked or flew once, and require meat for every meal lol).
But if that is your choice, why do you require your veggies to be in the form of meat products? veggie dogs, veggie burgers, even that tofurkey stuff...
Eat veggies if you want, but why pretend it's meat? I don't take ground meat and form it into the shape of brocoli or carrots??!
It's like those people who annoy me at the bars who ask for non-alcohilic drinks in the form of alcohol (ie. in a rock glass, with a garnish, cocktail straw etc) just to appear that they are drinking... you don't drink, that's cool... but don't pretend...
Maybe there is a good reason for it... just please tell me? cuz it's irrating as hell!
Reminds me of grade school when the loner kid said he had a girl friend but she lives in the states and he has a picture of her from a magazine...
