Hey CA residents, do you prefer In N Out burgers or Fatburgers? I would much rather eat at Fatburger.

#9 The Smashburger didn't survive in my town. Of course MN is home to the Jucy Lucy. But our best burger is the Parlour burger, (chuck, ribeye, brisket patties with American cheese on an egg bun.) If you are ever in the Mpls area you should check them out.

Ah, I looked up Tanners. It's in Oceanside. Sadly I've lost touch with my friend who lived in Leucadia. When we used to visit, we ate Mexican food, not burgers.

#13 Legally, I moved to MN in 1987. Their idea of Mexican food in MN when I first moved here was chili powder in tomato sauce for salsa, I kid you not. So sue me for wanting Mexican food when I visited CA. It has improved dramatically here since then. We found a place in Shakopee whose owner was from San Diego. I miss being able to order a dozen tamales for Christmas, or going to a restaurant with a pot for them to fill with menudo on a Sunday morning. I don't drink anymore, but I do like menudo. Haven't found a restaurant here that serves it though.

#18 Fresh corn tortillas, I'm salivating. My best friend from HS was of Mexican descent. Her mother used to roll out her tortillas with a small piece of metal pipe from her husbands plumbing business. For Italian food it was Napolis just south of Marina del Rey.

Of course, for Italian, nothing was better than my mom's cooking. My grandfather immigrated from Sicily. My father taught my mother to cook. Her grandfather immigrated from Jugo-Slavia. That is how it was recorded on the Ellis Island records.

#22 Yes, when the subject of the thread is the owner of a burger franchise, we talk about food. Are we not allowed? Well allow me to comment on the business owner. She is willing to take the money and run because they changed the tax rules on her? Welcome to the club, lady. Us peons have been contributing to her welfare since Reagan lowered the tax rates and made up to 85% of my social security taxable. She'll get no sympathy from me.
