Does Portland Have No Taste? 7/7/2005

When people found out about this place, did the quality of the food get worse as they got more popular? Do we so want to find something original that we trick our taste buds into finding more flavor than there is? Let's disect, shall we? The BUN: large - you'll find at Costco. OK, The BURGER(s): pre-formed, the cheap burgers, again from Costco. They can spring for the sirloin burgers?, so, why the cheapo crud? The FIXIN'S: basic shredded lettuce, faded tomato, canned pickles, the magical mix of mayo and thousand island dressing is not what I would call ""special"", and yeah, it is more like ""goop"". We got an order of rings which was greasy and uninspiring to say the least. All the hype has made this place a legend in its own mind. Don't beleive everything you hear, this place is average, at BEST. Pros: out of the norm, easy to find, local flavor Cons: out of their minds, easy to forget, no flavor more
