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).
That's like >$10 in today's money. Significantly more than I would give kids for lunch today
5 EUR (about $1 in 1975) is about the cost of a Döner Kebab which is more than enough for a teenager
