I mean it's 2025 and real hamburgers are edging up in price so that $100 hamburger isn't thaat far away.

Finally, we managed to progress enough as a civilization that you no longer need to fly somewhere to get a $100 hamburger.

There’s a number of “boutique burger” places around here, where the burgers start at $20, and most diners charge $16 for a normal burger. I hear that NYC can get downright crazy.

  • Non-NY fast food places have gotten close to or breached $10 for the burger.

    I still remember the “six dollar burger” at CJ.

    • When I was a teenager, I was in a boarding school (1975 or so).

      When we went on trips, we’d get $2 for lunch.

      At McDonald’s, I could get 6 cheeseburgers and a Coke for that (I was a teen. I had no problem, eating them all).

Went to betty burger in santa cruz and 2 burgers were close to $100 with the in-burger-purchases (on-burger onion rings for example)
