The $16 Burger
The wife was out and about this afternoon and I had a calorie binge on my calendar, so I was wondering what to do. And it's kind of embarrassing to admit this, but I've been liking Wendy's recently. There's one near my house, and they fixed it up really nice and it's got wifi and one of those infinite soda machines and stuff. So I put my shoes on started walking.

However, a new place has opened next door to the Wendy's. It appears to be a local chain with a few locations, and after a bit of wavering I decided to give it a shot.

Good burger overall. Good fries and free soda refills even though they didn't have Pibb or Pepper. They had signs up about their fresh burgers, never frozen, and all that stuff.

But here's my challenge. I got a BBQ burger with bacon and onions, no cheese, fries, and a drink, and the total came to slightly more than $16. If I had walked next door to Wendy's, I could've gotten the same general menu items for about $10 or so for a pre-designed combo.

I'm not sure the difference in taste warrants paying nearly double for the local joint. I'll probably just do Wendy's next time I find myself in the parking lot.

What's the most you'll pay for a good burger?

I think Houston's is $18 - no drink incld'd. But it's damned good IMO.

There's a bar here in Louisville that charges $15 for a burger. Just the burger, no fries. I scoffed at first when a coworker told me about it shortly after I moved here, but now I've had it three times. So good. I do a pretty decent job in the kitchen or on the grill, but I can't come close to how good that burger is.

I assume that's swiss Bowser? It's good they make the slice thick - that REALLY helps a swiss burger's cause! There was a deli back in the day in Blue Springs called Country Deli next door to Taco Via on 7 - the owners were local - they'd warm their sandwiches on a kaiser roll w/ poppy-seed - and only had mustard, lettuce, tomato and onion - and the melted swiss would be really thick on their turkey sands, it was so amazing, not sure how they didn't make it.

yes - much like Houston's, plus they have a hint of hickory - so they're really nice. I'm a big backer of Houston's (even if it is a chain.)

$20 would be the absolute max, and it would have to be a real piece of craftsmanship

I'll pay $20 for a solid buffalo burger. That shit's delicious.

I think the most I have gone on a regular burger is about $15.
