State the location of said restaurant and what you recommend.

For me, it's the Squeeze Inn in Sacramento, CA. It's a very small place where you have to either sit at the counter or out back. The Squeeze Inn has been featured on the Food Network and has won various local awards. What makes them famous is the fact that they grill (and steam) the cheese in a square around the burger, called the "cheese skirt". The best burger I've ever had.

If you're ever in Sac and craving a world famous burger, check them out. Totally worth the crowd and the 15-20 minute wait. Ask for a Squeeze with Cheese. Go double if you're crazy hungry!

That meal looks like a heart attack. :wacko:

I found this nice little Chinese place where they make everything in front of you. Cheap and healthy and most importantly, tastes delicious. :yes:

The only downside to this is that I'm the only one standing out. Everyone's Chinese except me. Hope to see more fellow Aussies on the tables.

Well, I don't have a lot of mom&pops burger joints around where I live. So, other than making my own burgers (which I like most of all) I'd have to say I like Chili's or Wood 'n Tap burgers the best. They're both totally heart-attack worthy, but man do they taste good.

Been to 5guys, but only found it to be "pretty good" - but nothing too fantastic to make it to my "top burger list". (You'll see mine and probably want to make fun of the pics) :p /edit I will have to say though, fantastic fries and I can't knock them for using very fresh ingredients. It's probably one of the "safest" places you could take a burger fan because they shouldn't embarrass you for any reason whatsoever. ;)

I travel to a place a ways away called Solly's Grill:

Now...the thing is, the pictures might not look the greatest - and to be honest I think they make it look a little gross unfortunately. But the burgers are easily the best I've ever eaten. The butter just drips off of them and you basically have a few mini-heart attacks while eating them. The pics just don't do it justice because melted butter in and of itself doesn't look all that appetizing when it's sitting there pooled on a plate. But when you taste them......</Homer Simpson drool noises>

Born and raised in Sacramento, i never heard of that place though. My favorite spot however, is my BBQ grill and my pineapple, Guacamole, teriyaki, pepperjack cheese burgers

ripgut,

They're on Fruitridge and Power Inn. I only heard of them about 5 years ago; stopped in and fell in love. Scott's Burger Shack is also very tasty, just not as good (IMHO) as the Squeeze Inn.

Must be a fairly new place, i grew up in that exact area, Hiram Johnson high school and Will c Wood attendee. Scott's is the bomb.

I grew up in Elk Grove. I heard about the Squeeze through word of mouth.

I think they started in the early 90's? I'm not sure about that, though. Next time I stop in there, I'll ask when they oppened. You know what? I think I might hit that place up for lunch!

That looks bomb! It looks like it would be faster for me to go to Oregon, instead of Southern California to try one of these boys out!

For the record, I just had the Squeeze for lunch. Sorry for making people jealous. :p

Yeah its very tasty! They give you your order in a brown bag and its full of fries. A regular fry feeds up to 3 and a large could feed 6. They are amazingly good though that is why this place is so good.

The burgers come ordered how you like it, i think in that pic its fully loaded. I usually get lettuce, mayo, hot sauce on a bacon cheese burger mmmmmmmm :spindj:

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
