I've read one very similar to that story before.
There's a bar I used to go to occasionally that makes burgers. They get fresh ground chuck, and your condiment options are worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper....that's it. No mustard, mayo, ketchup, or the usual veggies to pile on. And if you ask for any of that, you'll get a dirty look.
I'm not particular about what I put on a burger, but usually I don't go for the exotic like mushrooms and what-not. Fuddrucker's always get voted best in Tucson, but I don't think they're all that and a bag of chips. In-N-Out is supposed to finally open a place here in the next month, but they've been saying that for a couple of years. Ever since the death of small mom and pop drive-ins, it's nearly impossible to find a good burger.
