Jerkass: The Moody Foodie is a huge one, as he actually delights in seeing people get screwed over his bad reviews.Imagine Spot: Bob has a daydream about working in an office after the Moody Foodie gives him a bad review.Hypocritical Humor: Bob turns out to have never seen the movie Tin Cup due to reading a bad review of it, which his kids can't help but point out.Hidden Depths: Bob hates signing birthday cards, and has Linda forge his signature.Go, Ye Heroes, Go and Die: Linda attempts to give a pep talk, but it is awful.Gasshole: Linda burps in the Moody Foodie's face after drinking a beer.From Bad to Worse: Bob's attempt to get a redo with the Moody Foodie keeps escalating, starting with Bob forcing his way into the Moody Foodie's house and eventually becoming a full-on hostage situation when the other restaurant owners get involved and want to kill the critic.Faux Horrific: Bob's Imagine Spot about working in an office is extremely mundane and in some ways even a rather pleasant depiction of office life (if kind of boring), but Bob treats it as a Nightmare Sequence.Fake Period Excuse: A similar scenario is mentioned Tina claims that a classmate actively forced herself to get a period in order to skip a test.Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch: Bob thinks Tin Cup is a bad movie, but reveals he's never actually seen it.Comically Small Bribe: The mailman accepts 48 dollars and a DVD of Tin Cup to keep quiet about the kidnapping.Tina: to get out of a math test, she forced herself to get a period, that's how she got a redo.

The patty was sandwiched between Shack Shack’s signature pillowy potato roll and slathered with Shack Sauce (a combo of pickle brine, mayo, ketchup, and mustard). I could distinguish the crunch of a carrot from the chew of a mushroom. On first bite, I was pleasantly surprised at the apparent presence of actual vegetables-a rarity! It was flavorful and juicy, and full of discrete chunks of the aforementioned veggies, rather than an all-too-common mash of them. I had all of this in mind when I tasted Shake Shack’s addition to the veggie burger canon earlier this week. These chains have moved away from the idea that a veggie burger should contain actual veggies, and most of their forays into vegetarianism have flopped. In the past few years, fast food chains like Burger King and KFC have bet big on products like burgers and nuggets that approximate the taste and texture of meat as closely as possible. The current landscape of meatless fast food burgers is, to put it plainly, pretty bleak. As a fan of both vegetables and burgers, I decided to give it a try. The burger, already available nationally through app-ordering, and slated for an in-store rollout May 5, is filled with mushrooms, sweet potatoes, carrots, farro, and quinoa. But Shake Shack’s latest offering, the “ Veggie Shack,” doesn’t try to disguise its contents as anything other than good ol’ fashioned vegetables. The truth is that most meatless fast food burgers taste like they’re ashamed to be plant-based, instead celebrating their similarities to real beef.
