So it would seem.
I wasn’t even trying to “catch the comic first”, just happened to be when I hopped on this evening. When I saw there were 0 comments, I panicked “Where Ana?!”, by the time I clicked the comment bubble and the page reloaded, here they were.
If we can get Joe behind a hammered dulcimer, randomly… I feel it would break Joyce’s brain even more than usual (as of late).
There are two big differences between a flat patty and a smash burger. The edges of the smash burger is irregular, giving a more varied texture. The inner texture, especially along the edges, is less smushed than a flat patty.
… So making burgers the normal way is the New Big Thing now?
Oh well, at least I can show this to my brother and maybe he’ll stop ruining family cookout burgers by putting breadcrumbs and nonsense in them. (I mean, ideally he’d just let me run the grill, because I’m a lot better at it, but, y’know, big brothers.)
Yeah I can barely read that one. Grammar teachers be cringing so hard XD

Thank you so much. Reading it was like suffering from momentary aphasia and I’m glad to know what it was about!
Azhrei Vep
Yeah, um. I was concerned for a second this was how he was going to reveal to us he had a stroke at some point.
Don’t look at me like that. DYW seems like exactly the kind of person who would reveal that kind of thing in the alt-text of his comic months later.

Is it supposed to say “when you order, we smash that ball of beef on a hot-buttered grill to sear and you can taste delicious burger”? Coz other than the AND being on the wrong line I can work out how to read it like that (left column, right column, AND from bottom line, penultimate line, rest of bottom line) – but the grammar is still rubbish.
Also yes, when you order a burger you would expect to be able to taste it after it’s been cooked… In what world does this need stating? ☹️ Some sort of world where when you order a burger you may NOT get to taste it?! I don’t think we live in that world…

So I did some looking around, and apparently it was meant to say “When you order, we SMASH that fresh ball of beef on a hot-buttered grill to SEAR the burger and SEAL IN THE JUICINESS. Next, we season it to bring out the NATURAL FLAVOR,” the sign continued. “The result is a JUICY AND DELICIOUS burger you can taste in every bite.”
Not only did they arrange it in a way that made it messy and way too easy to read in the wrong order, they also cut off words.

I don’t know why but this made me cry laughing, thank you. I don’t usually read the alt text because it’s annoying on the phone but wow.
What possible double entendre can come from squishing a piece of meat stuck between a pair of buns. Especially when the woman is telling the man that he’s doing it wrong.
(BTW, just because he’s doing something different doesn’t mean it’s wrong. You might actually like it.)
no more creepy than it being a common topping to have it have ‘cheese’ as a topping, dairy on top of the cow meat, i wonder if cows were smarter/sentient if they’d see it as messed up
I think that’s actually a dish in Japanese Cuisine? It’s called Oyakodon, literally “parent and child donburi”, containing chicken, egg and sliced scallion.
Angel
oyakadon sounds nice. just try to stay away from that slang in the seedier places of hte internet because i think it’s also a p0rn category /shot
This comment with this reply with those profile pictures is the reason I love the internet. I am sending a screenshot of this to my bff the next time she’s feeling down. Brava

Not according to the timestamp on your post! The server is law. Your puny human chronographs mean nothing!

mmmmmmmm burger ??

Smash burgers work because more surface area undergoes the Maillard reaction.
Squishing the patties flat before grilling them over charcoal works too.

It’s based on a terribly laid-out ad for a burger place.

Joyce being embarrassed, Joyce, this is one of those food things that people pay for. Today, you’re not weird, you’re diner chic avant-garde.

Joe and joyce are perfect. Hes flirting with her in the exact modality she responds to. I hope they get in a good real kiss by the end of this arc. ?

Stop defiling the mushed up cow corpses, Joe. Its creepy.

I think the cows would be disturbed a few levels before that. “You drink what?! That’s for my babies! What did you do to my babies?!?!!”

Paul Simon’s “mother and child reunion “ is about a place that served eggs with chicken. That’s messed up.

Ensure your burger is wrapped securely before smashing.
Bin
And much like Mr. Bubble Bass I made sure there are no pickles.
Needfuldoer
You hide them under your tongue in order to scam free replacement burgers, triggering the cook’s existential crisis along the way?

A humburger, if you will.

Bun type: horny on grain.

Could be worse, it’d be horny on pain if she was into that kinky French stuff.
