I always wanted to try their lunch offerings, but I’m usually there just to shop for food. The wife and I decided to give it a try, and ooooooooo boy, was that a good choice.

  • Double Cheeseburger
  • Fried chicken sandwich
  • Fries with chipotle ranch & garlic aioli

I am suddenly starting to question my life choices.

Only if you continue to not visit places like this for lunch.

I tend to judge burgers by their cover, aka their bun. That bun looks perfectly made with just the right amount of butteriness and softness.

[–] TheOgreChef 12 points 1 year ago

It was perfect and soft, just right for a crispy chicken sandwich and a juicy burger.

[–] agent_flounder 14 points 1 year ago

Damn that all looks amazing.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Um, would you mind telling us where this is? Because dayum that looks good

A place called The Whole Ox. It’s in Northern Virginia, and I can’t recommend it enough if you’re looking for quality meats and home cooked goodies. They have soups, pasta sauces, sausages, and even side dishes that come in little pine boxes that you can slide right into the oven to bake.

It’s my 1 seed when it comes to getting main dishes like prime rib or turkey for my holiday meals, and their frozen stuff is great to break out for mid-week deliciousness that’s low effort.

I was going to ask if they were called Six Guys.

[–] TheOgreChef 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s at least Ten Guys when comparing quality of burger products.

Until you get to the hypothetical ideal burger, from the restaurant Infinte Guys.

Couldn’t get the lowered zero on mine. I appreciate you getting the math joke though :)

Regardless, well played!

Thanks for the info!

I was so excited when you said "Northern VA". I was like "I can get these Burgers!" No, you mean geographically Northern Virginia, not NoVA, which typically means north of Woodbridge, East of Leesburg.

This place is 30 mins west of Centerville or Manassas. To some, that's not bad. But most people in NoVA are 30-45 mins away from Centreville/Manassas. Without traffic.

Damn, my mouth actually watered what the hell

This looks really good! And gave me a heart attack at the same time.

[–] LOLjoeWTF 4 points 1 year ago

Ohhh damn that looks tasty. A good choice indeed!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Local butchers are so amazing! Basically that's my favorite place after the pub.

[–] Gekoloniseerd 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like a €30,- meal. Not saying not it’s not worth it but everything is so expense I’d like myself a healthy meal for that money.

[–] TheOgreChef 5 points 1 year ago

To be fair, it was exactly $30, but with the current exchange rate you’d only be paying about €29! It’d be a bargain at twice the price!

This was a one meal kind of day, but I’m not about to look up the calorie count any time soon.

[–] TheOgreChef 2 points 1 year ago

Total was $30. Cheaper than Five Guys and most restaurant meals, but that’s more indicative of how bad prices are in general than this place specifically
