Food and Drink The $16 Burger - Page 9

**Rain Man** · 07-23-2016, 11:03 PM

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 agreed, at least on the bread, above. Too much, but the right kind at least.

It appears that we have a variety of tastes, but can we all agree that cheese is always good on a burger? To me, it almost doesn't even matter what kind of cheese. You just can't beat nice melted cheese on a burger.

I'd rather have sliced avocado over cheese

1/3 lb. -1/2 lb. patty, toasted potato bun, bacon, sharp cheddar slice, tomato, red onion, lots of pickles, mayonnaise and spicy mustard.

That's how I roll at home when I go all out. I usually go for blue cheese on a burger if I am eating out. Not at home.
