Should I have the classic fux or big fux xxl?
No Kings finally working!
No gods, no kings, only fux.

The fun thing is, both emotionally and semantically a burger means a citizen as in the opposite of a king.
All I know is that I am getting some mixed feelings from the menu items with names like “Big Fux XXL”
Bacon fux
Cracked.com? Pepperidge Farm remembers
Wait until you find out it used to be a paper magazine
Not to be confused with the Burger King that is not a Burger King but isn’t fake.

What could they have done worse than being a burger king
Maybe they were too good
very real chance the corporation raised the prices of the franchise ingerdients without raising the prices of the franchise menu items and this location’s owner had a relationship with the local ingredient distributor, ran the numbers, and figured they could sell enough burgers in the local community to make more money than they would keeping the random walk-ins who go into a burger king because they know what they’re getting.
They were voting to become a Burger Democracy.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing paper crowns is no babies for a system of government!
I was thinking about trying Jack-in-the-Box for the first time so I downloaded the app, and my local joint wasn’t listed. Did some digging and they were apparently delisted because their google reviews were truly awful. Exclusively one stars for the last year. Stuff like “person in the drive through window tried to climb out of the window like the girl from The Ring and fight me” and “the chicken was still straight up frozen, like directly from the freezer not a little cold in the middle”. I thought they always had a long line because it was good, but it turns out people get stuck in that line for an hour and can’t get out.
That’s too bad, because Jack-in-the-box is one of the better chains IMO.
That probably shows they’re at least still trying.
Excuse me … Fux???
BIG fux
BIG fux XXL
The veggie option is “No Fux”.
That was my nickname in college
No it wasn’t.
Who do I have to whopper to get a fux around here?
It appears to be German.
Right, but that still doesn’t make sense. The only dictionary entry I’m finding for Fux is a variant of Fuchs, which means Fox, or colloquially a few other things unrelated to food like ‘fraternity pledge’. Fuck is Fick (n) / ficken (v) so it’s seemingly not that.
It’s a quirky spelling for Fuchs, yes. And it’s about fast food names, what do you expect
BACON FUX !!
Me: One fux, please.
Burger
King: Sorry, we’re fresh out of fux to give.“What are you getting for lunch?”
“Burger.”
It is probably like the KFC in a neighboring town. They owner was so cheap and let it get run into the ground. When he stopped paying the chain they were going to come remove his signs. So he Painted Chicken over all of them and started buying the same or similar products from the the local food distributor he got a lot of KFC’s products from. Of course it was his shitty management that lead to that and things didn’t improve after it was just ‘Chicken’. It stayed there three or four more years though.
It’s like the Avignon Anti-Papacy.
The Burger War Of Secession has begun…
“Bacon fux” ? “Big fux” ? WTH?
Germany, perhaps.
German here. What?
Does that menu make sense in German?
Nope.
Edit: Unless they replaced beef with fox (Fuchs) meat or it’s the owner’s name or something. In which case it would only be stupid.
Danke Schoen!
this apparently happened with a dairy queen in the town where my parents grew up in, but they didn’t even change the branding. they just went rogue and it took a long ass time for people to notice
should transition to burger national convention, followed by burger first republic
This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad shop. Maybe being a franchise wasn’t helping their business, so they dropped it.
It might be better than BK, that wouldn’t be hard to do. BK is the worst of the major franchise burger shops, by far. I’ll eat at Arby’s before I eat at a BK.
It depends on the country I guess. Here in France I’d do a BK over McDonald’s any day. But it would loose to a Roadside (local burger chain) in most cases.
Same in sweden. I don’t eat if macd is the only option. BK is good but mAx burgers are better (when you only look at fast"food")
In the middle of the US all of the fast food chains are hit and miss depending on location. There are like 11 McDonald’s nearby and two of them are consistently good. There are at least three BKs and only one of them is consistently good.
When the BK is good I find it far better than McDonald’s. It is probably the fry grease they use and the open fire for cooking the meat, but also the vegetables and buns and everything else are just better imho. Good enough to get me to stop by a few times a year.
I dunno, BK doesn’t wreck my guts like McDonald’s
Say what you will about Arby’s…
… There’s no “but”. I won’t stop you.
(Their spicy mayo - sorry, “horseradish sauce” - is pretty good though)
And now you can completely avoid Arby’s and still get your Horsey Sauce fix: https://copykat.com/arbys-horsey-sauce/
I make a homemade version of the Arby’s Beef and Cheddar. Even bought a deli slicer just to get that piled-up effect. The Horsey Sauce recipe above nails it. The Arby Sauce however… I’ve yet to find a proper copycat recipe. I think there might be citrus (lime?) in Arby Sauce but it’s not listed in the ingredients.
what kind of deli slicer did you get?
Vevor 10 inch 240W. I’ve absolutely rail this thing, lent it out to my hunting Jedi buddy who also put the screws to it, lather, rinse, repeat for two years now. I used to have a meat-smoking and charcuterie business, so I have opinions about deli slicers. This unit (https://www.vevor.com/cutters-slicers-c_10662/vevor-commercial-meat-slicer-240w-electric-deli-food-slicer-10-inch-carbon-steel-blade-electric-food-slicer-350-400rpm-meat-slicer-0-0-47-inch-adjustable-thickness-for-commercial-and-home-use-p_010664867799) is categorically okay.
Cleaning it is okay, not tool-free; I taped the necessary Allen wrench to the bottom. Performance is absolutely acceptable. Maintaining it is pretty simple (sharpener is included). Motor is decent. Cheese slicing performance is decent. It tends to throw a lot of shreds, but I bet polishing the backside of the blade would fix that. Portability is the suck, but some long Velcro strips improve that. It’s no $3000 Hobart, but also costs one order of magnitude less.
okay awesome thanks, i shopped some a while ago but didn’t really find anything short of some crazy commercial stuff
Don’t you besmirch the Sauce of the Gods.
I would say that Jack in the Box is the worst of the big national chains, but it’s been a long time since I ate at any of those places.
Arby’s
I just threw up in my mouth a little…
Hey, they were decent a couple… checks notes… decades ago…
Last time I ate at an Arby’s was around '95, they were terrible then too.
I remember the roast beef & cheddar being pretty good, especially with a coupon for 2 for $5 or something. Add some horsey sauce and they were quite good.
Fries were always hit and miss. Sometimes they had crispy curly fries, and sometimes they were soggy.
