Tank has already admitted to ordering the tomato wrap. 

technically it was a lettuce wrapped grilled cheese, something i had to try out of curiosity. don't recommend doing this. 

[Brandon]

A lettuce and cheese sandwich? 

Gross

[Taylor]

I didn't know tomato wrap was a thing. I'm curious how they wrap a tomato around anything.

[St1ck]

So apparently this is a tomato wrap.

 

[St1ck]

This is what Tank ordered.

Just got In N Out for lunch. I decided against the protein style grilled cheese.

Is the ranch open to anyone or is it a private property?

@Stradling, I’ve been curious about this… 

So your supplier of buns adds cinnamon?  Maybe allspice?  

It bugs me.  They should stop.

This weekend in Phoenix I went to Whataburger.  

I think I had been before at some point but this time I decided to really be critical and compare against the KING of fast food burgers.  (Culver’s).  

Whataburger is solid.  I would put them in the premium fast food burger category like Culver’s, Freddy’s, INO, Runza, Steak N Shake and Fatburger.

With the kids burger they gave a burger, drink, fries, apple slices and fruit snacks.  My 5 year old is a burger connoisseur and she gave 2 thumbs up.

They don’t. If you had a bun that tasted like it had all spice of cinnamon then we received a bad bunch of buns which I have heard of in 20 or so years in So Cal.

There’s something in that spice family in the bun.  I taste it very time.  It’s subtle but there.  Not trying to give you shit about it, but I’ve been wondering.

Water, flour, yeast, salt and granulated sugar are the only ingredients in our buns.

If you’re telling the truth (and that’s a big if), then that’s weird.  Maybe there’s some caramelization of the sugar that I’m tasting.

Now I'm intrigued, I need to try Culvers.

Culver’s is very good.  But I’d put it at the same level as the others, not above it.  I was just trying to hurt Strad’s feelings.
