Burger King Ketchup

These fast food chains don't serve decent burgers. Where I live in Nevada, there are only two places for a really good burger. Hamdogs in Gardnerville and Big Daddy's Burger Shack in the California side of South Lake Tahoe. Since I don't put catsup on fries, I have no idea what they serve with their fries, but you can bet it will be equal to their great burgers. Family owned places are almost always better than these corporate owned places.

You're right about fast food chains and decent hamburgers. Many have eaten this stuff for so long, however, they don't know that.
 
Reminds me of when after hiking to a waterfalls in the New Mexico mountains, granddaughter wanted to go to McDonalds. When we got back and she told my son, her uncle, that we ate at McDonalds, he said, "If you got that man to eat at McDonalds, that's LOVE."
 
Heinz Foods supplies the condiments that Burger King uses, including their Ketchup…

All true. BUT if you are looking for cheap and fast, the family owned places aren't even an option.
If you want a real sit-down meal then the mom & pop places are definitely your go-to. Absolutely higher quality - but you pay for it, in both time and $$.
If what you really need is a cheap, quick, drive-through meal, then the big franchises like BK and Wendy's, and McD's are your best and only choice.
For the cost, in both time and money, the big franchises are generally a decent value, and they deliver that value FAST (as in FAST FOOD). You can also generally count on the product and the price being pretty consistent from one location to another. Even if the quality is mediocre, it at least still consistent.
If you have the time and money to wait and pay for something better, you can get something better, but if you need it cheap and fast, you get what you pay for at the fast food joints.

Yes, nowadays second-rate is more than adequate for most.
 
Living in San Antonio, you expect a proliferation of small Mexican restaurants (taquerias) all over town. And there are eight of them within easy walking distance of my house. What you might not expect is that most of them also have burgers and fries on their menus. They are generally better and larger than the FF varieties, and cheaper. One place I particularly like has an excellent large (cheese)burger and fries plate for $5.95. I have no idea how they can make a profit at that price. You can't get anything close to it at McD, BK, Wendy's, or even at Whataburger, which I think is a superior FF place. And they all have ketchup in squeeze bottles.

Our small town Mexican restaurant has very good and affordable Mexican specials. It also has the best Italian food in town. Hard to beat a meatball sandwich with real meatballs, Italian cheese and marinara sauce on toasted garlic bun for about $7 on special.

I generally buy the buns, but a meatball sandwich is very easy to make from scratch and you'll probably like it at least as well as the best store-bought version. I usually make several pound of meatballs using elk, beef, and pork (roughly equal proportions of each meat) along with the seasonings and bake the meatballs.

I make about a gallon of spaghetti sauce (takes less than an hour to cook). I freeze the meatballs and sauce separately in small containers, enough for one meal for three or four persons. I freeze everything and it will keep well for several months.

My wife just got of those vacuum sealed plastic bag things and has already filled the freezer compartments on both of our refrigerators. She has gone nuts with it. I am thinking about using it to seal ammunition in vacuum bags. It actually makes some sense. Just use a magic marker to identify the load, date, etc.

Used to make my own meatballs with 1/2 hot Italian sausage, 1/2 burger, oregano, 1 or 2 eggs, a lot of fresh garlic and Italian bread crumbs. Then loosely formed and broiled. For spaghetti and the left overs saved for sandwiches or snacks. However it turned into a larger effort, and haven't made spaghetti for more than a couple of years. Much simpler to call in order now on occasion.
 
All this talk about burgers, burger joints and such made me hungry. Home made cajun burger with garlic toasted bun. Tough to stay on diet reading these posts.

AND NO KETCHUP as there was enough blood to keep them juicy.

Around here we call em the Barbara Walters face suck machine.
 
In our home ketchup is used mainly in baked beans, meat loaf glaze and BBQ sauce.

For fries I use sriracha, Ruthie uses tartar sauce, Logan uses Frank's and JR uses honey mustard.

My wife cooks up a batch of meatballs and puts them on toasted sourdough bread with marinara and mozzarella. Open faced meatball sandwiches. YUM!
 
Be thankful for that! If you or the title was that of a specific Thai-sauce originally produced in Si Rachi, Thailand then the comments made really would have gone exponentially ballistic…

I have a special way to eat BK food. After I leave the drive up, I find a secluded parking spot. I then take the food out of the bag and carefully unwrap it. I gently put the unwrapped food back in the bag, being careful not to spill in my truck. Then I eat the wrappers.

By the quart, and likely there are yet larger sizes? Must be the name, also like Frank's kraut

I think Frank's has about six or seven times the salt content of Tabasco.

Believe you're correct, as regular tabasco had one of the lowest salt percentages of hot sauces checked in the past. Another one was named after some whiskey or bourbon. However can't marinate chicken wings in Tabasco, and still eat them.
 
Largest bottle of Frank's Red Hot sauce is available in one gallon jugs, which most grocery stores are unlikely to carry, but can be had in virtually any restaurant food supply company…

That's the way I buy it (I like my eggs practically floating in it) and refill a normal-sized bottle.
