You should go out more
Or not. I can't say I'm better off for having seen $25 burgers.
This post isn't about fast food places. It's about overpriced local shops that sprung up in the formerly "bad" part of town and are run usually by <30 year olds with no business experience. Give me your hometown and I promise I can find one of them online for you to go to
Butcher Burger
The Surf & Turf Burger for $32 stands out
Damn 3 minutes lol
Homie it was 4 hours ago it's okay
You‘re a legend.
They're charging $17 for a caprese salad‽‽‽
Its the new normal in Australia at hipster cafes
Aha! Must be Australian dollars!
To be fair tho I live in Chicago and there's 2 of these places by me. But there's another 2 that I can get a loaded combo with fries and a drink for about $10 USD and it's always fresh and delicious.
No link but American wild burger, the one in the city shut down apparently but there's still one in the suburbs. Add bacon cheese and BBQ sauce and you're at a little over $20 for a burger with no fries.
If you go to Google maps and just type burgers and filter price $20+ or $30+ there are plenty burger bars that will match that criteria.
But what’s your minimum wage?
Edit: it’s $23
Barely liveable. For comparison a Big Mac is $7.60 and a Whopper is $9.40.
Every hipster place in France is charging €20+ for burgers, but you'd go straight out of business if you tried serving them without sides

Here in Seattle I routinely see a burger get near that mark.
Okay, Fries are included with this one but I'd say anything over 16 bucks can be rounded up to 20, taking tip and taxes into account.
You've also got Purple in downtown. Miso burger is damn good but is 22 bucks.
