      They could at least do plain hamburgers/cheeseburgers for those (me) who don't like a bunch of goop plastered all over the burger. Oh well, BK is my favorite anyway.

        Good impulse. Don't go to Dick's.

        Nooooo! Catsup and Ketchup are two completely different things. Never let anyone tell you differently. Catsup is the evil offspring of tomatoes and the devil.

          Devil's Advocate:

          I agree that if you know of a restaurant's policy, you should not be whining about that policy.

          HOWEVER . . . If I was to go to a Dicks *for the first time*, unaware of their policy of 'no special orders', and discover that I could not get a burger without mustard, yes, I would be upset.

          Yes, I'd go elsewhere, and no, I would not be back. And I would tell them why.

          So I can see both sides of this issue.

            Ketchup/catsup is nasty.

            Wagamama has the self-same policy as Dick's. The ingredients of the dishes are listed on the menu, plain to see. No additions, no substitutions. Don't like it, don't order it, or just pick out teh bits you don't like and leave them on the side of your plate ! I love Wagamama....

              I have an even better one.

              Go to FeBo's, in Amsterdam and such countries. There are no staff that you really come into contact with...

              ...as FeBo's is fast food in VENDING MACHINES.

              AWESOMENESS!!!

                Kind of like my first (and hopefully ONLY) experience with White Castle. My friend Rob, who lives in Chicagoland, LOOOOOOOVES White Castle. He's been DYING to make me try it for a couple of years now. So when I went to visit him in December, on the way back to the airport when I was leaving, he pulled into a White Castle and ordered us 10 hamburgers (he had already explained - ad nauseum - the concept of the little mini burgers, so I wasn't alarmed by this).

                Now everybody I've talked to tells me that you either love WC or hate it. I was..... somewhat on the dislike side of the fence, but I didn't outright hate them. I maintain, however, that there is nothing even remotely resembling meat in those "burgers".... But I think I'll have to firmly plant myself on the "hate" side in case he wants to bring me back there some day. I spent the ENTIRE rest of the day hoping I wouldn't throw up because the burgers made me feel really icky.

                  I'd heard of WC burgers when I popped over three weeks after 911. They were described to me as "Like a badger in your belly."

                  I tried one. It was indeed like a badger in my belly. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the badger effect on my muzzle these days.

                    oooh and I forgot to mention on the ketchup front... i have recently discovered Heinz Chili Sauce.... OMG it's like ketchup for grownups!!!! (no clue why it's called chili sauce though, since it doesn't contain chilis, nor would it be particularly tasty if served ON or IN chili..... *confused*)

                      I like catsup. In moderation. I'll have it on my burgers, and it's a good addition to my mom's killer meatloaf.

                      I don't like it on my fries or on any other meat.

                      We used to have a friend of the family that would put catsup on everything! We invited him over for Thanksgiving dinner one year, and we refused to let him have the catsup bottle until he had tried the food without it. He expressed surprise over the consistancy of mashed potatoes.

                      It turns out that his mother was an awful cook and would burn everything, which is why he used so much catsup.

                        Who likes catsup (ketchup) on their hotdogs? I know that there has been a big debate on this.

                          Ok, I lied.

                          I also use catsup on my hot dogs.

                            Ketchup goes on:

                            Hamburgers
                            Hot Dogs
                            Bratwursts
                            (all of these get mustard too)

                            French fries
                            Eggs - for me anyway. The grease in eggs tears me up, so I have to add ketchup or salsa to eat them

                            And bad steak. A good cut, prepared correctly doesn't need anything.

                              No. Bad devil's advocate. How often do you think that man with the little black tie tucked into his shirt taking your order has heard this complaint? Do you have to tell him again? Does he have any control over the matter? Would you really be that upset? Just walk away. And you can get a burger without mustard. Both the Deluxe and the Special have no catsup and no mustard.
                              You're not doing me a favor by eating here. I'm doing you a favor by feeding you.

                                Has anyone tried the 'Del Monte' brand of Ketchup? It has a sweeter taste to it compared to Heinz's brand. I love it on fries myself.


                                I also put ketchup on eggs too. (However, only if its eggs with diced potatoe's in it or its one of the breakfast taco's you can buy at a fast food joint if no salsa is available).
