medium-rare, ask for the chimichurri or peppercorn sauce — fries should be thin and crispy

cup-and-char pepperoni, the good stuff — those crispy edges hold pools of grease, in the best way

add bacon and a double patty if you're actually hungry, single is plenty otherwise

order before the pies arrive, sets up the meal nicely

ask the bartender what they're proud of right now, that's usually the move
