Accurate. Relatedly, I miss Stanich’s every day.
I have a hot take, VERTICALLY BIG BURGERS ARE BAD. They're always too messy, they're always too wet, they always leave you feeling gross, you can never get the perfect bite of everything. Horizontally large burgers are good though.

Stanich’s in Portland, OR, January 2017.

That reminds me of the Stanich burger joint story (though there apparently is evidence that the owner's personal legal troubles may have been the bigger factor in the restaurant closing than it being overwhelmed by crowds due to the increased publicity) pdx.eater.com/2019/3/20/18...

I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

When people wax nostalgic about that stuff, it makes me think of the truly incomprehensible saga where Stanich's got named the best burger in America by some national writer/madman, and it almost immediately imploded the business because they suddenly had customers under 75.

Peter Yarrow’s son threw French fries at me at Stanich’s once. You’re welcome.
