Dear Dave Thomas…

August 4th, 2006 / #food, #observations

So, in my great many experiences eating hamburgers, I have not allowed for much tomfoolery in their preparation. Plain. Cheese, bread, and meat. Maybe ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise will make a guest appearance. But other than that, I generally don’t do veggies.

But every now and then, I will see a burger all dolled up for its eventual demise in gastrointestinal juices and enzymes and I wonder: what’s with those raw onions?

The nature of a raw onion is to exist in a ring shape. Hence, we have such fried wonders as onion rings. But wouldn’t it make more sense to, you know, chop up the raw onion prior to its placement on my delicious slab of ground chuck? That way, it doesn’t just garnish the perimeter of my dinner.

Just a thought.

    people don’t really like onions, they just pretend to, so they keep it only messing up a part of meal rather than having to force down the whole thing. unless those guys at arigatos prepare the onions, then they’re good. those guys are magicians with spatulas.

    Dave Thomas is considering your proposition as he bakes in the firey pits of hell.

    This is a very appropriate topic for our friend, Angus, to comment on.

    Dave Thomas was a sick, sick man. He would always call me up telling me how good I tasted…how I would look good in square portions…how he would like to make clones of me and sandwich me inbetween them. To him I was only worth 99 cents a visit.

Sorry, but comments are closed. Some things are best said in a vacuum.

  • What This Is

    This is a not-so-detailed account of my adolescence over the course of almost a decade. Here, I shared my thoughts about things of no real consequence while at the same time being reckless with semicolons and flowery language.

    I used this website to connect with folks before Facebook. Today, I sometimes chronicle interesting thoughts and observations I have. I don't update as much as I should.
