Slice Poll: Best Frozen Pizza?

tombstone, properly broiled in the last few to get crunchy pepperoni and crackly cheese...

A Disappointing Classic at Rick's Drive In and Out in Silver Lake, California

we just have different ideas of what a burger from a place like Rick's should be. can't we just agree to disagree? i'm sorry that i think it's really weird to try and request a medium-rare hamburger from a fast food place - whether it be from innout or mcdonalds. that's just how myself and people i hang with feel. we can all feel differently, yes? i was just putting my opinion out there - isn't that what comments are for? anyway, i am a burger lover and i love rick's. that's all i guess i should've said - and thus avoided any debate about burger rights :)

it is an interesting point though as far as a reviewing philosophy is concerned. i'm curious: do you adjust your scale depending on the kind of place you go to? or do you uphold all places to the same standard - a taco stand to the same as a five star restaurant? i suppose reviewers all approach that dilemma differently - what is your approach?

personally, having lived in the area for years and been to Rick's many many times, I classify it as fast food - and so does everyone I know. i'm sure we all have different definitions of that, but Rick's definitely fits mine. I hold it in the same regard as innout, fatburger, the hat, etc. and of all those, it is my favorite. it doesn't have to be yours, of course. but i will say, although apparently you can request your cooking temp at innout, that seems pretty silly to me at a fast food place. it's just not what i expect from something like that. most people i know have different standards for a small drive-thru than for a fancy restaurant. but that's just me. of course they are open to criticism, i just think that the standards to which they were being held felt inappropriate for the kind of place it is. but again, it's just my opinion. i will continue to enjoy it's greasy goodness :)

as a lover of Rick's, i have to ask... what did you expect? if you go to a fast food place like that expecting to be able to request your preferred cooking temperature, then i really have to wonder what kind of scale you're using to judge all the burgers you eat. it's a great fast food burger that's cheap. i could be mistaken, but i'm pretty sure you can't request medium rare at in-n-out or fatburger, why expect it here? maybe you were misled by friends... that's the only thing i can think of... welcome to silver lake!
