I hate it when I fluctuate, its so ... so ... unstable. Much worse than flatulation, since my farts don't stink

Original Tommy’s Hamburgers [^]
Had the double bacon cheeseburger with chili-cheese fries (big, fat fries loaded with chili - a meal by itself).
Best burger and stuff I've had in a long time.

Damn. Now I want a burger.

I'd be quite happy to go get one!

I suppose delivery to Toronto is out of the question?

Depends on whether you want it fresh or McD.

So, if french fries are called chips, in the UK, then what are chips called?
|

The misinformed fools call fries 'chips' and chips 'crisps'.
They have trouble spelling, too.
It's a good thing we took away stewardship of the English Language from them.

How dare you, sir?
Leaving local variants and idiom aside, the dialect of English spoken and written in the United States is known as "U.S. English". This is opposed to the "International English" used elsewhere, which is derived from the Queen's English used in the U.K.
Claiming stewardship of the noble English tongue on the strength of the existence of a dialect is as arrogant as calling a sports contest that contains teams only from the U.S. and Canada a "World Series".

<Lecture subject="facts of life">
"U.S. English"? "International English"?
Well - with all those fan-boys in what is the self-describe Eurozone (although it doesn't encompass all of Europe) - it's easy to slap one another on the back and feel better about living in "The Old World".
I prefer this fine "New World" - and what we term as "Correct English"

I think you will find that the British spelling is more common worldwide than the American spelling. The commonwealth countries (including India) mostly use the British spelling, for example.
Until there is a clear leader (if ever), I suggest that we agree that - as George Bernard Shaw said - America and Great Britain are divided by a common language.

OMG! Back in the long past days when I was in South Africa, we got English style fish & chips - heaven! The chips were thick and fried soft - not crisp and they were seasoned with vinegar and salt - not (horrors) ketchup!
Now my mouth is watering! What I would give right now for a serving of fried cod & chips! Served in a large white paper cone rolled from unused newspaper stock. OMG! OMG!

Can't stand the stuff on my fries...I mean chips...I mean, potato things.
Salt, pepper, and rosemary is nice too!

IMAO, the only way to eat chips!
(Preferably with good malt vinegar; none of this petrochemical industries cr@p).

Tommy's Burgers is a great place. I used to eat there all the time, when I was younger. They are not on the East coast, that I am aware of.
