Damn! Thank's for your hard work Case!

My co-workers want me to go eat lunch at the fair with them. I don't want but I always tell them no about going to lunch. They always take a really long lunch and I'd rather take short lunches and leave early. Also, fair food is overpriced and makes my stomach feel bad. I hate how often they pressure me to go out and eat with them. Just let me eat my pretzels and fruit by myself!

I totally get you, anon. And it also annoys me how mandatory it feels, like everyone else in the world loves this and I just have to go along with it to be social.

My co-worker has really stinky farts and our job involves sometimes making long drives in car together. :(

I'm involved in organising an event and I'm increasingly sure it's going to be a failure and it makes me sort of sad but mostly it makes me angry that so many people have put actual time and effort into undermining us. It's a goddamn geek con! What is your goddamn problem??? And almost all of these people are people who've previously run cons, and who I've *personally* heard complain about other people being mean and making their lives harder, and somehow they don't realise how intensely hypocritical they are!
Uuuuuughhh. >:(

What kind of fair?

I knew it was going to be bad. It's been dropping faster than Howie on his knees for Simon, ever since he started judging, before that even. They don't bother with half the results, 'wildcards' are cropping up everywhere, and fucking /every/ golden buzzer is a goddamn child singer. They have two categories now, singing, and other. (aka magicians) Simon buzzed virtually every act that isn't a singing, and literally cut so many singers off mid audition because he didn't like the song they chose. Not only that, but he then gives them a song he likes and lets them try again. He did this up to the live rounds, and only for singers. As soon as he presses the buzzer, Howie presses his a split second later, Gonzo was the first time he didn't immediately follow Simon's lead. Then Simon will press Julianne's buzzer even when she's actively trying to get him to stop. He'll then try to press Gabrielle's... It's so stupid.
Simon can't stomach danger acts (and they're too much of risk apparently) But then they'll only put through some back water hicks who play with chainsaws in their backyards just to buzz them five seconds in. No more strength acts, acrobatics, and hell if they've ever liked anything with dance. If they do let those acts through it can only be one, because how could they put through 20 horrible, bratty, sobbing, child wailers if all the spots are taken up by people with, I don't know, talent? FFS. It almost makes me feel bad for america. That it's own talent show ridicules a pianists, showing the audience yawning, only to reveal, surprise! he's actually a stripper, and he was only pretending to play fucking perfectly because it was a track... (then they don't let him through anyways because y'know, it's dance)

Including toppings and thickness.

Grilled on the oven with pepper jack cheese. I prefer thicker ones. I like onions (raw or cooked), mayo, ketchup, and mustard.

That's a great question, anon.

Number one for me is two super-thin patties with two slices of cheese, a thick slice of onion, a thick layer of mustard, a really good bun, and nothing else.

I like a thin burger with tomato, spinach, very thinly sliced red onion, bacon, and soft blue cheese smeared on the bun.

Black bean burger, spicy if possible.
Lettuce.
Jalapenos.
Pepper jack cheese.
Sauteed onions.
Chipotle ranch dressing.
More jalapenos

This restaurant in Sonoma, California, called The Girl And The Fig, legit has the best burger I've ever eaten and I judge all others by it. It's a thick patty, juicy and cooked how you like, on a sweet potato bun with housemade pickles and grilled onions. You can get brie, cheddar, or cambozola cheese. You can also get really good, thick bacon and/or a fried egg on it if you like. I usually get it with cheddar, but bacon and brie is good too and its bomb af with an egg. Comes with fries. It's $16.00 and each additional add on is $2.00 but holy god is it worth every penny! It's worth the 2 hour drive to Sonoma from my house just for that burger.

Yes, it really IS that good!

double medium thick patties, medium rare, jack cheese, bacon, tomato and a toasted roll. And a blend of oregano, garlic powder (NOT garlic salt!), cumin, rosemary, paprika and a little cayenne sprinkled onto each patty before cooking.

Medium thickness, grilled over charcoal with mayo, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, several slices of ripe tomato, onion, pickles and cheese.

Rare or medium rare burger. The rarer the better really. Only way beef tastes good to me. My mom only cooks beef well done, so I grew up thinking I hated beef. Turns out no, I just only like it rare. Thickness doesn't matter so much to me, as long as I can get the thing in my mouth. Grilled is amazing, but other ways of cooking are fine too. Just make sure it is rare/medium rare.

Topings:
onion is a must. Can be raw or cooked.
Sharp cheddar or mozarella cheese
barbecue sauce is nice but not required
tomato
ketchup
relish and/or pickles
mustard is nice but not required
bacon is nice but not required

bun needs to be good. Not too thick so not overwhelmed by bread. Sesame buns are nice.

No Mayo. Ever. I hate mayo.

I don't stray too far from the traditional, I don't think...

In no particular order on the (hopefully sesame) bun:
Medium-rare patty of medium thickness (this is important... it had better be properly seasoned and juicy)
Little to no mayo
Bit of ketchup
Bit of mustard
American or Swiss cheese slice (also open to other cheese slices)
2 or 3 crunchy dill pickle slices
onion slice (preferably red, but any will do... fresh or grilled)
thick tomato slice
2 pieces of any lettuce

What are your favorite fair foods?

Funnel cakes. I haven't had one in years and would probably get sick after eating one now, but goddamn are they good. Other than that, sign me up for all the sweet stuff. Cotton candy, caramel apples, shaved ice... I'm going into a food coma just typing this post, lol.

I actually... don't know? I've only really been to a couple of fairs and the only fair food I remember is funnel cake, which I think is OVERRATED and worse than just getting donuts. And I've never liked corn dogs even when I was a kid.

I guess deep fried Oreos are all right if you only have a single one. IDK I'm not trying to be some kind of snob I love greasy food I just don't know what good fair food is.
