    I’ve never seen a burger come without some side at a non fast-food restaurant in my city and I don’t know why I find the concept so gross.

      Burger Batch in Richmond VA is like that or at least it was last time I went. Good burgers; way overpriced. The pictures are spot on.

        Yeah I believe it, the trend didn’t hit my city (Montreal) though, which is lucky. I went to Ottawa (a near city) a couple years back and they have a row of cookie-cutter pubs in their fancy part of town which all served burgers without fries and you had to pay extra for ketchup. I don’t know when I got radicalized, but that definitely paved the way.

      I went to Portugal last year and they have this custom of serving crisps(chips, if you’re American) instead of chips (that’s fries if you’re American!) I bloody hated every second of it, the burgers were delicious though

      Gross? Pretty harsh word for some fries. Does McDonald’s near you not sell big macs on their own?

        So I don’t know if you read my comment, but I said

        non fast-food

        which in this particular case excludes McDonald’s.
