All the workers have forearm tattoos
At least 3 people are wearing beanies in the middle of summer
Bacon is $4 extra
The burger comes out on a bun drenched in butter and is so greasy/oily that halfway through it may as well have been served in a bowl

I ordered a gyro with a side of onion rings (the onion rings alone were $7) from a local place to take home. When I got home and opened the box of onion rings, I saw there were only six small (like, 1.5" in diameter) onion rings in the too-large box - more than a dollar per tiny ring. Next time I went I complained about the onion rings and they showed me the menu which said "6 onion rings" in the item description albeit in a tiny font. Like, they knew what complete and utter bullshit it was so they had to have something legal to fall back on.

Ok apparently roughly 850 calories for the hamburger, 175 for the toast, 150 for the onion rings, 10 calories for the mustard, 100 calories for the special sauce going by the mayo base for 3 tbsps, 200 for the cheese and roughly 150 for the bacon. So...1700 calories at a minimum.

It does have emulsifiers and other dairy products in it. It has a higher moisture content, which the emulsifiers help to hold in suspension with the cheese. Without the emulsifiers the cheese would leak water/fluid out and the shelf life would be considerably shortened. The emulsifiers used are very common in many foods from almond milk to soft drinks.

Yeah I've had a burger from a place that roughly fit this description, I was really sad when they closed because it was by an extreme margin the best burger I've ever had in my life.

Life is significantly worse without that burger.

Yeah I believe it, the trend didn't hit my city (Montreal) though, which is lucky. I went to Ottawa (a near city) a couple years back and they have a row of cookie-cutter pubs in their fancy part of town which all served burgers without fries and you had to pay extra for ketchup. I don't know when I got radicalized, but that definitely paved the way.

I went to Portugal last year and they have this custom of serving crisps(chips, if you’re American) instead of chips (that’s fries if you’re American!) I bloody hated every second of it, the burgers were delicious though

There's a restaurant in Florida called "The Ormond Garage" and they don't serve fries with the burger. It's another like $6 for fries that aren't even that good. I went there once and they didn't have to go cups for the meal that I called in... The server told me she could get me a regular cup and I could just drink it there while they were putting my $15 burger into a takeout box.

I contemplated walking out with the beer glass they handed me, but I just left.

I live near a place where the fries come with the burger, but sometimes you have to ask for them. The bean counters assume about 50% of the time that you don't want them. Lunchbox laboratory in Seattle, in case anyone's wondering. It sold out a long time ago and has been crap since

I pretty much stopped going out for burgers because my area lacks a really good burger. We do have two places that do smash burgers pretty well and it's a food cart, so it's affordable, but any proper sit down started charging $20+ for frozen patty style garbage.

Have you paid $22.50 for a burger on its own? I find this post odd because I live in an expensive city where you can easily see plates over $30 but even at those places, their burgers are the much cheaper option and still often include fries or have a $2-3 upcharge to get fries.

Restaurant prices aren't a secret. I just checked places in Portland and the most expensive burger I could find was $15 and that came with fries, and that was the most expensive one on the menu. This is a meme joke and is exaggerating to be funny, don't confuse that with reality.

This is most definitely real. I've walked into places like this, looked at the menu, and walked right the fuck out. Have you never been to a major city before?

I'm not going to search menus to find the place I was talking about. It was in DC but I can't remember where it was. However, I went to Five Guys a couple weeks ago. I ordered a regular cheeseburger and regular fry, total was $20 without tip. That's fast food, so how is a $22 burger at a hipster place so unbelievable?

Because regular fries serve 2 people. A burger is 12. Almost half the cost of this meme.

If you get the single person fries it's an $19 in one of these more expensive cities.

But yeah keep on inventing magical $22 burgers in DC. Just trust me 🙄
