Hey, welcome to the Cellar TucsonTom.
Is there a Tucson Texas? Are you a transplant? Or just liked the ring of the name for your restaurant?
Hamburgers have become the symbolic of fast food chains and the country polarized over whether they are a convenience or the devil's spawn.
Bill Cosby does a great bit about the neighbor kids going to McDonald's and he had to settle for one of Mom's burgers.
People that are down on burgers don't see them as a nutritious meal of burger(meat), bun(potatoes/starch), salad(tomato,onion,lettuce,pickle) with dressing(special sauce).
I think the
trouble is fries, shakes, onion rings, desserts, huge multi-burger concoctions, are tempting. But the
problem is, peoples inability to understand the danger of, and resist, stuffing their faces.
Gets off soapbox I don't know about the rules for competition, but as for appearance of just the burger, Denny's looks like my idea of a burger the way we made them, whereas yours looks like it was stamped out on a production line. I know it wasn't, but you see, that's my image of good burgers, which is exactly the opposite of Bill Cosby's kid in the sketch. Just personal preference and prejudice.
btw, I hope the flooding hasn't caught up with you. I saw a bunch of pictures of Chantaburi and even moving the elephants at Ayutthaya.
