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.

I think that's the same chain that's called Hillstone here. I'm actually not a huge fan of their burgers, but they've got a lot of good stuff on their menu here - french dip, ribs, chicken strips, and a nice ribeye with Hawaiian marinade.

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.

Bardstown road just south of where Baxter joins. Great bar. It's in a early 1900s church.

Haha, I see you already discovered that!
