    • 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

    This meme is either very old or was made by someone in the midwestern US (always years behind on fads).

    All of the bistro burger joints have gone the way of the dinosaur in my neck of the woods. Now it’s all smash burger fast food knock offs.

    To be fair, Five Guys is every bit as expensive. But I’ll take Five Guys over most of those places anyway. Free peanuts is tempting.

      Have I just gone to a bad Five Guys? I went to one once last year and the burger was mediocre at best and the fries were greasy to the point of being sickening. I haven’t gone back since.

    I’ve never seen a burger come without some side at a non fast-food restaurant in my city and I don’t know why I find the concept so gross.

      Burger Batch in Richmond VA is like that or at least it was last time I went. Good burgers; way overpriced. The pictures are spot on.

        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.

    In my neck of the PNW they may cost $25 but they come with a side

    And that shit’s fire, worth every damn penny

    My roommate and I usually go out once a month to snag some food from those places and try to hit up different ones each time

        Holy fucking shit. I have never had a burger or fries as bad as In and Out at any price. McDonald’s is better than in and out. Anything is. Kinda disqualified your opinion here.

            So there is a secret menu where the fries aren’t dried out bullshit and the burger patties aren’t paper thin with 1 inch thick lettuce?

              The fries are shit, unless you get them animal style. The burgers are good especially if you get them 2x2 or 3x3.

              You’re going to complain about lettuce? Get some fucking fiber in your diet.

    Bit of an exaggeration. The most expensive place I’ve ever seen (by a lot) is Iceland and this is barely accurate there.

        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.

            Or if you had a logical thought in your head, you found a person so unfamiliar with such a place, they asked publicly despite knowing that douches on the Internet are extremely common.

    I hate those fucking stools. I swear they were invented to be so uncomfortable that once you’ve choked down that mediocre overpriced burger you want to leave as soon as possible because your ass hurts.

    Why is this so accurate

    Half of the “artisan” burger chains in my city are marginally better than a fast-food chain. One, maybe two of them make burgers so good that they’re worth the occasional splurge.
