call me an a$$hole, but i just skimmed this post. sounds like a good deal that you ate, a reuben and nice beer is cool. Most of america is a blend of what they are told is good. My wife's family eats the nastiest **** i have ever seen, but they dont know any better. I dont eat any baloney, NONE NADA NOTHING! i drink beer, I brew beer, I like BEER! but if i am going to the lake, a poker night, or just looking to have a stupid time at a bar singing karaoke, quantity trumps quality. American Light Lagers are here because prior to A/C it was refreshing. If you have ever been out on a hot humid day then you know that a porter is not what you want! I love the fact i can toss back a 6er of miller light and be sober as a judge! I have actually come home after long long motorcycle rides in 100+ temps and drank Miller and had less of a hangover than my wife who drank ice tea. if it was all that bad people would not buy it. Keep in mind, i dont buy it unless i am going to the lake or somewhere that taste is not the main goal! i just dont want to bash everyone that drinks what they wont. people are ignorant and eat boloney and drink bad beer, the job is to educate and not hate.....

. people are ignorant and eat boloney and drink bad beer

You just spent a long paragraph justifying why you drink "bad beer" (setting, temperature etc) and you are clearly not ignorant. People don't all agree on what's good or bad at all times. I respectfully contend that to assume that people who drink light lagers or eat baloney are ignorant is a tad elitist.

Please tell me you said that all aloud without breathing until the end.

I agree with your interpretation of Five Guys. That doesn't mean they are not delicious, but I wonder if people think this is something unique. It's almost comical, like if some restaurant sold Jif peanut butter and regular jelly sandwiches on white bread and people fell all over themselves over it.

5 guys is different for most people. Most people don't make or regularly eat thin griddle cooked burgers. They are normally 1/2" thick dense ball of meat that are cooked about two times too long.

If you're going to a deli that doesn't at least have Boar's Head, then that's your fault.

This.

To be clear, I wasn't in a "Deli". It was a German restaurant and my point was that the American machine has made most think of what I mentioned in the OP as normal. I've eaten plenty of Oscar Meyer, drank plenty of light lagers, and ate plenty of French's. I would rather the norm be a full flavored lager, fullflavored/nonchoppedup/noncompressed meats, and spicy mustard.

My initial post was nothing but opinion(imo the correct one).

My corner of TX hasn't got 5 guys yet. I love me some Whataburger though. Altough I think it's mostly an emotional "ate it every night after drinking for years" thing.

First off, God Bless America.

Now the rant.

I was sitting in a German deli today for lunch. Ate a reuben and drank a few Spaten lagers on draft. It really hit me hard for some reason just looking at our table what our culture has diluted down. Three things jumped out at me that we've really f'ed up. Mustard, deli meats, and beer. French's, f u. Oscar Meyer, f u. BMC, f u.

Done

Try living there for 10 years and growing accustomed to their beer, food, and culture. I lived above a bakery and to this day cannot find bread in America that I loved as much as I did there.

The ironic part is that "deli" come from the German word Delicatessen (which comes from the french word délicatesse)

German mustard called "Mittelscharfer Senf" is the best yellow mustard by far.

Soft pretzels are eaten with butter not mustard in Germany (it is pretty good actually).

Even in Germany there is still crappy prepackaged lunch meat/bread/beer. The difference is over there everyone goes to the local butcher for lunch meat, the bakery for bread etc. I don't even know where there is a bakery in this city! It's a shame our culture has gone to the "walmart" superstore market where there is no specialists.

Holy shnikeys! You were all over the map there. I think I'm in agreement but I'm not completely sure.
