You should respect Wimpy’s for the fresh ground meat — every morning.

I generally agree. For me, it’s almost impossible to beat a Five Guys burger, which for some reason taste twice as good as any other burger.

I have never seen what’s all the hype over Cookout or Char-Grill any way.

I don’t understand the high praise for Wimpy’s burgers. They are no better IMO than, say, Cookout’s burgers. They should be praised for being a mom and pop operation that has continued to thrive despite being in a not so popular location but their burgers are just average.

Wimpy’s is a local treasure! I used to live very close by and could enjoy it on a regular basis, but have since moved a bit farther away. However the draw is irresistible and keeps me coming back.

I’ve never understood the foodie infatuation with the Merritt’s BLT. Pretty much the only way to fuck up a BLT is to skimp on the ingredients. Merritt’s doesn’t skimp, but I don’t think that justifies the six bucks and standing in a long line for something you can so easily replicate at home.

Wimpy’s and Merritt’s are proof that simple food can be good food.

In case you don’t know about Merritt’s, it’s a grocery store in Chapel Hill that has the best BLT in the area. Don’t be tempted by anything on the menu other than the BLT though.
