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?

If you are ever in Wichita I hope you dont cheat yourself out of a Bomber Burger. Best burger in town.


Check them out online. I have eaten "The Bus", i am one of 17 that has completed it. It comes out on a plate and stands taller than a can of soda.

Yes the Hawaiian ribeye is great - and yes same corp.

Foster's Grill has the BEST burgers by me of anyone as they do them on a real grill. The meat is super fresh and tastes fantastic. I'll sit at the counter, order two beers and two cheeseburgers. Comes to around $22 plus tip. I'm not a fan of their fries as they taste like Five Guys to me and they never appealed to me. Their onion rings are great but I don't order them often.




Is Foster's a chain? I swear there was a burger place near Mall of Georgia called Foster's - they didn't make it though - although I had heard it was really good.

Flip-Burger used to have a $50 Kobe beef burger. It's since been removed from the menu.

My limit is probably 15 a,d it had better be amazing.
Ate at Houlihans a few weeks back, and ordered a burger. It was pretty sad. And it was 14. So, mark Houlihans off the list for me.


On the other side is a place it 75 and metcalf called Burg and Barrel, that's really good. The burger I get is $15 I think, but it's worth it. Comes with sir racha on it, as well as some peanut butter and a fried egg. Lol. The Houlihans burger should've been priced at 9 or less given how bad it was.

Theme parks sell burgers for like 15-20 bucks. When your hungry with limited options, you will pay.

I can't imagine spending $15 or more on a burger. I can make my own on the grill seasoned and cooked just the way I want it for a fraction of that price. In fact, for $16, I can fix T-bones on the grill. If I'm eating out, there are plenty of better options than a burger to spend $16 on. You can just about get a steak for $16.

I'll pay whatever as long as the price is commensurate with quality. Nothing is worse than overpaying for a pedestrian burger.

I'm sure it is the same as with burgers. You can find good meat and shit meat. There is a feedlot south of town that at least used to feed out buffalo. That is probably the good stuff. If they grass fed those bastards I'm sure it could get pretty gamey pretty quickly.

Bomber Burger will not disappoint I promise you that. Fries are hit and miss but the burgers are done right by the BurgerNazi. Best way to eat the fries is loaded. If you like hot shit the BurgerNazi can whip up a burger that will scald your asshole.

Oh without question. It's a lot like deer and elk. If they eat tasty wheat and corn out of farmer Browns field as part of their diet it's one thing, but if they grow up chomping on pine trees, sage brush and scrub weed, you will end up with some rank meat.
