PrintBurger with Printed Bun
Honestly, people, the whole pictures-on-toast thing has been done to death. But here's a new variation on the images-on-bread theme that I can get behind. Stuff printed on hamburger buns.
This No. 3 burger appears on the French burger blog MyBurger.fr, and I have no idea what it's saying, but it certainly utilizes some handsome lettering. It appears to be emblazoned on some sort of prepackaged frozen burger or some such a burger from the Belgian chain Quick, which has matching 3-shaped fries. The "3" refers to its three patties and three layers of cheese. You will also need three bypasses after you eat it.

I love it! Monogrammed buns! I felt my arteries clog as I was reading about it!

It says it's three times more irresistible with
(1) three thick slices of Emmenthal
(2) three hamburger patties
and (3) its creamy Emmenthal sauce.
It's from Quick, a French hamburger chain. It's not a prepackaged frozen burger; their take-out boxes just look fancier than ours.

Thanks, Fleurdesel! I should have taken French in school instead of German.

I didn't know Quick was Belgian! I've seen them all over France.

Le Quick even has outdoor dining in Aix-en-Provence:

I'm not sure if up is down or down is up anymore. After you gave that translation (thanks!), I looked up the place online, and it seemed to be Belgian the first time I looked at it, but now I'm thinking that the Belgian version of the site was just coming up on Google for some reason. I think, the first time I ever heard of the company, it was in a French context, so I'm going with France now. And that's my final answer.

That's a lotta cheese.

You were right the first time, I think.
The Times of London calls it a "Belgian-based chain."

As I recall, they served something called "Tom Cheese" in France in the mid-'90s. And it wasn't a turkey burger.

AH: The resident Belgian at Serious Eats HQ says Quick is Belgian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_(restaurant_chain)

I've been to that Quick in Aix! Actually, my husband dragged me to Quick at least 3 times during our 3-day trip (he's native). As expected, it kicks the crap out of our fast food. The Quick and Toast is awesome, like a sourdough Jack but with ingredients that have taste. The fries taste like potatoes, go figure.
They also had a chocolate dessert like molten chocolate cake. Damn it.

Hold on there a second babalooie, I'm not so fast to recommend Quick.
I've had a few of their cheesy concoctions over the years (visiting Paris and Antwerpen) and I find the rolls often dry to sandy, and the cheeses not much better than a special from Burger King.
Fast food can be done better - frankly, if you're in Belgium, you should be eating in a decent cafe for nearly the same price, and enjoying the experience (and the tiny belgian chocolates with your coffee)...

It looks like those 3 shaped fries are really 3 shaped cheese sticks. Oh la la. They have fish shaped fish nuggets!

I like The Spot's monogrammed burger in San Diego. Not the very best burger, but tasty and monogrammed, too!
