Do you sometimes doctor up your take out?

I have been known at times, to buy a bare burger or two and take them home and add my own toppings to it. Sounds kind of silly doesn't it?

Not silly at all, especially if you already have cheese at home and they would have charged you $.50 or more for one little slice.

@1creekgirl As advertized on America's Test Kitchen, who sponsor the magazine, COOKS ILLUSTRATED from I think the state of Vermont, Tillamook cheese is one of their suggested BEST cheese producers: I think Tillamook Cheese Factory is in Oregon: here is a new link to their up coming location on the internet:
The Tillamook Cheese Factory offers self-guided tours with tasty cheese samples, interactive kiosks, factory viewing windows, a café, and lots of family fun – a feast for the senses!

My nephew now works as a chef/cook at a high end burger place. He'll add whatever I want

@lookatdesktop pretty good Apart from the buns they make everything in house...the burgers the sauces etc. With his discount the burgers aren't that much more than BK and are waaaay better tasting.

I sometimes do it. Of course, if it is being delivered at home. I can put some spices in it.

@lookatdesktop I guess they are so religiously following the standard practice of the restaurants.

I once asked for just the frozen beef patty and the guy at the counter just said, "I can't do that." Even for the price of a fully cooked burger he would not do me that favor. I guess they are told not to take SPECIAL ORDERS.

Not at all. Sometimes we order an Indian meal and I eat it with home-made chutney.

Not silly at all I'd say! If i own better toppings or condiments that i wanted or felt for something that the food place didn't offer I'd see no problem buying a bare meal to fix to my liking. My gran used to make homemade ketchup and our entire (small) household would prefer it to store bought ones ^_^.

Yep. A good mixer and all the right stuff to make it, seems lots better homemade.

@lookatdesktop It does. It will taste so so much better also because its so close to what you want (and maybe even better than what you would get if it were all fixed up differently).

What might be next to impossible would be to ASK the counter guy to please, 'MAKE IT WHOLE WHEAT INSTEAD.' Then if that option was there I would be asking for it. The way you get what you ask for at like a SUBWAY , you know? They have practically all the ingredients, so many to choose from it is often a challenge for me to decide.
