It's hit or miss.
If you’re in an area that lacks a quality burger for under $6, it’s a solid play. If not, you’re playing with fire.
I just don't see how much different it is than someplace like Steak and Shake,
and I saw them mash the burger down on the griddle and cut into it to make sure it was well done. I don’t approve of either of those actions.

Their shakes aren't great and you should never order the fries.

Fries aren't terrible
Concretes are great. Burgers are fantastic. HLM insists on being wrong on this one.

If you want overrated, Corner Bistro is it.
Burger Joint at LPM is solid and I’m a big fan of it. However, since there’s only one (semi-covert) location, it’s not in the discussion.
For a fast food burger, SS is the gold standard on the east coast.
how is Corner Bistro overrated?
it was a damn near perfectly cooked medium rare (to slightly under, which is how I prefer my medium rare), ridiculously juicy burger, excellent burger : bun : cheese ratio.
lotta flavor, didn’t kill your wallet even remotely, and just juicy and succulent
kicks Shake Shack to the curb, American X style
If SS is the gold standard, then no wonder we’re in a recession….

The meat doesn't have a good texture.
I like a patty that’s not only juicy, but also with a little bit of char on it. While the meat is cooked correctly, there’s no searing which makes the outer portions taste soft and mealy. You need a little bit of charring in order for it to be a truly fantastic burger. That’s why cooking hamburgers is an art-form. You need to find the happy medium between charring without trying out the meat.
Frankly, I disagree that CB’s beef doesn’t have as much flavor as Shake Shack’s. Sure, the patties are bigger at CB, but that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily any better.
Finally, I said that Shake Shack was the gold standard for fast food burgers on the East Coast, not that they were the best in regards to non-chains. CB isn’t in the discussion due to the fact they serve more of a pub burger in a bar atmosphere than a fast food hamburger.
ah, so we're having an apples & oranges discussion, due to the fact that Shake Shack is a chain?
and that Corner Bistro is one place?
so you’re saying Shake Shack should be in the same discussion as 5 Guys, or In-N-Out, or Whattaburger, or something of the like?
The reason I’ve continually compared Corner Bistro to Shake Shack is b/c they are always mentioned in the “Best of NYC” discussion

This shocks me.
First, the Sing-Off isn’t new. This is its third season, but the first time they are attempting a full season of it (which admittedly could be a mistake)
But the singing on it is really truly good, and they do some interesting arrangements of tunes. Given your love of Glee, I’d think you’d like this show.
It’s a bit hokey at times, and has the annoyingness of all performance competition reality shows, but the singers are legit. I’m looking forward to it!
It feels so nice to be back to normal
i'm over all the reality "talent" shows
they’re all won by singers even if it’s not strictly a singing competition, and they are all full of the same songs sung over & over. i usually hate everything they sing & i see no appeal at all to a barbershop quartet singing competition.
Saw a promo for this show last night
This seems like such a bad idea, there’s going to be a lot of broken people come out of this.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
Wow, that's an awful idea.
I’m surprised nobody has taken a look at my reality tv pilot: Schoolyard Bullies.
Give Sing-Off a try, just for an episode or two. I really think you might like it.

I was about to say almost exactly this. Glad I scrolled down first.
I’m with you on thinking a full season might be a mistake. I’d add the judges to the list of good things about the show (assuming the same people are coming back?)

No Nicole Sherzinger, which is OK because she was the weakest judge
They got someone to replace her, but I’m not sure who.
But I agree, Ben Folds and the Boyz II Men guy are both really good judges, especially Ben Folds.

I don't watch award shows.
The Kennedy’s was pulled because people (mainly the owners of the History Channel) didn’t like the real portrayal of the Kennedy family. I didn’t think it was that bad, but I’ve always been a critic of that family.

Actually, the History Channel didn't think it was all that "real."
"While the film is produced and acted with the highest quality, after viewing the final product in its totality, we have concluded this dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand."
Which I thought was contradictory becuase they originally approved the script.

I'll stand corrected, I thought I read differently.
I still think it was pulled mostly because of the negative light it cast of the Kennedys. But, that is just my belief.

If he's 10 year into the league, he's never going to learn.
Unless, of course, they lock him up in jail for it.

there are about 10 pro bowl qb's every year
vince young made 2 of them.
comparing vick to manning in terms of quality of play is insane.
also, comparing an injury to a play on the field that can be corrected is insane.
Saying that the best running QB in the history of football needs to learn how to tuck the ball
is like saying that Joey Votto needs to learn how to strike out less.
It’s a bit nit-picking.

by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Sep 18, 2011 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions
he just fumbled on back to back drives & turned the ball over
it isn’t unreasonable to point out that vick should take better care of the ball
so should Eli Manning.
He’s the king of the sack/fumble.
And he’s also a Super Bowl MVP.

When you paste the link URL, there's a check box right under it that says "open link in a new window"

The "one yard short of the sticks" hook pattern always killed me since the WR would actually be going away from the first down marker when he received the ball

Yeah, I think that was the biggest culprit on our lack of YAC over the past three seasons.
It wasn’t necessarily Palmer or the WRs that was the problem . . . for that one statistic.
This game is pissing me off
