@disabled >If you can do that, why do restaurants have various burgers listed? why not just have a “standard burger” and then let you choose the toppings yourself.
They already do but that's more in certain types of burgers like cheese burgers or bacon burgers rather than "standard burger but without lettuce".
tbh the thing is that burgers are fast food made to be consumed without much thought in its preparation or thought in what in its contents; get in, eat a tasty burger, get out. Having a "standard" menu where you choose your toppings is contrary on why people buy burgers in the first place when they just want something filling and tasty in less than 2 minutes, especially when it's rush hour and you have to fullfill the needs of like 2 dozen people who want their food almost instantaneously
>How are there so many burger restaurants if all of them have the same basic ingredients, surely you’d just go to the closest one, since no burger place would actually be any different than any other burger place, right? I get it for food that actually has to be made or cooked or something like that. But a burger is just, you just stack ingredients ontop of eachother.
Technically, yeah- but people have slowly grow a preference towards one brand over another simply due to minute differences in food. Taste preferences is a very extremely broad spectrum that has a lot of niche cases even inside generic products like fast food. Even if it's the same ingredients, it can be a world of a differences if it's prepared slightly differently or uses a single different ingredient.
That's also the really weird phenomenon of people just simply preferring stuff due to cultural corporate branding and advertising that's almost nothing to do with food- which is pretty weird. Like how there were raunchy movies about white castle, An advertisement of a meal by a scoiopathic rapper who killed people and anime commercials that people care enough about to be involved in a culture war.
My excuse for not eatting burger king is the fact that I had hair in my burger when I was 6
