Dangerous Dan's Diner

Since I was going with Penny to eat "Niger"s today (our little joke about my iphone autocorrect fail), I decided we should go to a sit down place, rather than the eating your burger in your car thing so that we have nice little girl chat time while monstrously scarfing down burgers.  We walked into Dangerous Dan's to find that it was well, half-half, as in half sit down restaurant and half sit in your car kinda place.

It wasn't the kind of diner we expected: we ordered our food and paid and they bring it to the table.  They also seem to do a lot of take out and deliveries, as we heard one of the employees complaining about needing an extra delivery driver or a better one. Ew, wouldn't my burger be soggy by the time it gets to me? Instead of sitting down at the table and meticulously go through our options, we had to decide on the spot. Go big or go home. We got what we came for- the $24.49 Quadruple C Collosal Colon Clogging Combo: a 24oz burger with a quarter pound of cheese, 4 slices of bacon, 2 fried eggs, a poutine, and a milkshake.  And just for comparison, we got the 8oz $5.99 mozzarella and mushroom burger.  

they referred to the 8oz as the "little guy"

This was one of those rare foods that look just like the picture or better. It'd be a good model for those Dove campaigns - no photoshop needed. Just in case you thought I'm now some pro photographer with immense perspective photo taking skills, here's a picture of the Quad C with my burger model:

perhaps she just had a small head?

The chocolate milkshake was also gigantically delicious.  And so was the poutine.  A very nice classic fries with cheese curds and gravy, and I don't usually care for poutines.  As for the burger, we ate "little guy" as if it was nothing.  I had to get it just to have a burger that I can comment on, as I did not see any probability of holding Quad C to my mouth with my hands, and eating a burger with your fork is too undignified to let it keep its name as a burger. It was possibly the greasiest burger I've had thus far, as the beef started falling apart.  That gets negative points- the patty should not be falling apart.  The tables beside us saw the Quad C approach our table and repeatedly said "I wanna watch her eat it!" progressively louder as if we didn't hear them the first time. 

the quitter's way of eating it

Don't get me wrong- I did in fact attempt to compress the burger for consumption. I tried my hardest and all I got was some beef.  Unfortunately it was so greasy that the bottom bun was actually sticking to the plate, making it even harder to lift the 2lb burger.  To Penny's pleasant surprise, the middle of the burger was still hot after 15 minutes.  This is also great from a food/safety point of view - that they can cook the thick meat to the right temperature without overcooking the burger. The 1/4 pound of cheese was not just any processed cheese - it actually tasted like the Black Diamond cheddar cheese that you complement with crackers.  The bacon was good and fried eggs on a burger is a pretty good idea.  The bun wasn't toasted but it's ok, because I don't think we're even supposed to notice that the bun was there.  

My verdict on this burger: Definitely not something you can have more than once- it was so distractingly difficult to eat that taste wasn't even a concern.  The cheese was good but didn't melt very well, and the burger breaks apart too easily.  However, the "little guy" is a definitely well worth the mere price of $5.99.  Nothing to crave for though, but their club sandwich did look yummy and the poutine was definitely yummy.
