Holy shit even the pictures look like a local restaurant named: Allentown Burger Venture (ABV) lol
I literally just opened a place like this lmao
Good luck, honestly.
$22.50 is a lot for a burger, but I’ve had some burgers that price that are life changing.
Mine are 17 but have a literal 3/4 lb (smoked) patty and 2 strips of real good old fashioned bacon, two fried texas garlic toasts for a “bun”, the real fancy french mustard and my house sauce, the best pickles ever, 5 onion rings but no side. I can do this because I’m a bar in the middle of nowhere, not in a major city with staff and massive expenses.
Best of luck!
That sounds like a great burger.
but no side
You included all the sides on the burger!
What’s the calorie count on that!?
As I’m asking this nonsense question, I’m thinking of the punch burger commercial from the parks and rec show where they say who cares, put it in your body!
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.
LOL, that’s awesome. Almost an entire days worth of calories. Sounds delicious. You printing the calories on the menu?
This is the Parks and Rec Ponch burger this reminds me of. “Put it in your body or you’re a nerd!”
There’s a place called Bub’s burgers where they do a 1lbs burger challenge. They’re actually pretty good too. Not sure about how it compares nationally.
No, not on the menu. I don’t actually eat like this myself, I’m a big dude, used to work the rigs, trades, cowboy, etcetera. I couldn’t get through half one of these monstrosities i make if I even try. Probably how I stayed reasonably thin when I was a trucker. Been cooking long enough to know what tastes good, I had owned this bar half a year before I even tried the burgers I was making people. When i do make myself hamburger, it’s like a quarter pound patty by itself and i just fork n knife it with some spicy sauce, or maybe with gravy.
Ha, thanks. Now I don’t feel as dumb for chucking the bread.
But do you serve it on a plate? Be honest.
yes. You can search facebook for the Lucky Loon Saloon of Tompkins, Saskatchewan for more details, there’s pictures of it, on a plate.
That’s a shame, I prefer my burgers served on a snow shovel
I mean I have a snow shovel, and ten percent bleach solution. Always willing to accommodate.
Tompkins, Saskatchewan
Ohhhh you’re near Medicine Hat and the highway. That kinda makes sense now.
That’s right. Stop in for a burger, I’m open Tuesday to Sunday 1130 am to late. Tuesdays are beer n a burger 20 bucks, Thursdays 11 dollar wings (30+ flavours).
Not Bay Area is it?
I love the federation sometimes.
RIP??
Bit of an exaggeration. The most expensive place I’ve ever seen (by a lot) is Iceland and this is barely accurate there.
This is not an exaggeration in Oregon
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.
Found the burger joint hipster
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.
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.
I said Oregon not Portland but okay also I live here so I think I’d know what the local prices are for food.
I picked Portland because its a big city
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.
This is incredibly accurate.
I used to work at a place like this. The owner was a psycho.
What cured him?
Her* and nothing she’s still a psycho. The only that changed is that I no longer work there.
I used to do drugs. I mean, I still do them, but I used to do them too.
Cheese:
American $1
Cheddar $2
Smoked Gouda $3
Isn’t American cheese just cheddar cheese with some extra flavoring?
American is typically more mild in taste and smoother than cheddar; unless we are talking Kraft Singles American, which is a smoother or creamier cheddar.
I thought it was cheddar diluted in some chemicals and milk to improve flavor and to lower the melting point.
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.
The Good Burguer in Spain (and probably other countries)
There’s a BBQ place near me, and I ordered tater tots there once, as a side. They were $4. They literally gave me 4 tater tots. They were one dollar apiece.
There are two types of BBQ places; stingy, overpriced, gourmet bullshit with barely any sauce and greasy, messy, heart stopping heaven. The former always pretends to be the latter.
There’s also Mission BBQ which is stingy, overpriced, overly-sweet non-gourmet bullshit with jingoistic pro-military support-the-troops bullshit thrown in for good measure.
Don’t forget the right-wing “we’re ignoring mask mandates in the height of the pandemic and not limiting seating because we’re god-fearin’ 'mercans here!” bullshit.
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.
“Bro, we told you we were bullshitting you, right there in the sign. That means we’re not at fault”
Fuck that shit.
This is Carl’s Jr.'s design to a tee! 😂
Glad I live in the south, where we have fast food bbq joints with $6 burgers better than you’ll get anywhere else.
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.
Gross? Pretty harsh word for some fries. Does McDonald’s near you not sell big macs on their own?
So I don’t know if you read my comment, but I said
non fast-food
which in this particular case excludes McDonald’s.
Okay well in my defense I was reading very fast and read it as fast food lol
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
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.
They serve “local IPA” on draft for $11 or, ironically, a miller high life for a dollar.
This meme is either very old or was made by someone in the midwestern US (always years behind on fads).
All of the bistro burger joints have gone the way of the dinosaur in my neck of the woods. Now it’s all smash burger fast food knock offs.
Nah, I got take out 3 burgers in SF area for 60 bucks in a place that looked like this and offered 6$ fries. Wtf
ScamFrancisco
I can’t think of any neighborhood in SF where I’d choose one of these places over literally anywhere else. Too much good cheap food here.
What??? San Francisco has expensive food? That’s simply not believable
Scammed.
The places I see like this that are still around are moreso just generic American food :tm:. They sell more than just burgers, but the burgers are stupid expensive
This meme is so old it’s kid is the hostess at a burger joint like this
its* kid is the hostess
Taphouse/brewery has replaced the bistro burger joints that couldn’t survive covid.
I mean… Most of the places near me a burger with a sides is typically like $13 - $16 and I am definitely in the Midwest…
Why do coastal cities always do this shit? At least in the midwest, a person is more likely to come up with a good plan and keep it going long term.
Midwest is always about 4 years behind coastal City trends.
That misses the entire point of what i said, in order to just repeat the previous statement.
Holy shit his is accurate, wtf lol
