Ate from there the other day. It was soft and mushy but also flavorful in a way that I missed and it kind of remided me of the burgers they sold at the school cafteria. If I eat burgers I usually eat from smaller places since they have better ingredients and much much better fries, and I don’t like giving money to the international megacorp. But those places all make ‘fancy’ burgers with a meaty patty, toasted buns, fancy sauces/toppings etc. No option to have a thin patty with standard toppings and standard sauces between standard bread…

Nostalgia

      No. Apart from being another huge chain, they absolutely do not make fast-food style burgers, just lower-end fast food quality burgers. The patties are overly thick and watery, and they think they’re too good for processed American cheese when they most assuredly are not.

      Never seen one. I’m from Turkey so if we had one here it would also be ‘international megacorp’ anyways

        Look for restaurants that offer “smash burgers.” That’s going to be a thinner patty that’s stacked to make the bigger burger rather than making a meatlump that never comes out quite right. It looks like there a good number of places in Istanbul you could try.

          I think I used to get these. Not quite what I had in mind when writing this but they were good until the restaurant closed

        I did assume you were american, sorry. They are a chain, so i feel somewhat comparable to McDs. In my hometown there are a few homestyle local places I prefer overall, but they are not really McD style.
