for the record theres a living social deal for BOGO tickets. 2 for $35

Pretty cool...but there's no way i'd be getting my money's worth with a $35 ticket.....and I'd hate myself the next day if I ate $35 worth of hamburger.

I'm thinking the samples will be slider size, if not smaller.

Still, I'm with you. That's a lot of hamburger.

I think the point of the event is to raise money for charity.

True, but there are going to be people who will eat (or try to) $35 worth of burger.

The $15 portion seems more reasonable.

You get a free amstel light with each ticket too. Not that its much but its something.

I think it could also depend on how strictly that are using the term “burger.” If they are talking about standard ground beef, then that seems a little much. If they’re going to be vending burgers made of lamb, tuna, bison, or similar more esoteric meats, then that price might not be unreasonable.

Went to York Buffet in Robinson today. Classy clean place. $7.99 lunch buffet. Left stuffed.

There is a BRGR truck outside of my building downtown. I am told it will be there every day. Uh oh.

I had breakfast at a Cracker Barrel on Sunday and it was the must disgusting meal I have ever had in my life.

haha, I haven't been there in years. I actually just had a sudden flashback and realized the last time I went there was with a date in HS for dinner, but for the life of me I can't remember who with. And why in God's name did I take her to Cracker Barrel?

Just don't take Mrs. Shaf to one for your anniversary.

I've been there for coffee and blackberry cobbler before and that was just fine.
But I will never go back to one of them after that meal.

[mac5155]

Not bad. Usually a long wait at the one I go to so I prefer Eat N Park over it. Country Fried steak FTW

My Burgatory experience on Friday was great. I want to try BRGR and Wingarts now.

Its been a while since I've gone to Winghart's. I think I like Burgatory better but will have to revisit. I have yet to try BRGR.

This is exactly what I had.

The eggs were inedible.
The HBC was an abomination of flavor.
The gravy tasted like paste.
The sausage tasted like it was cooked on a lawnmower engine.

I didn't get a beef burger at burgatory so I want to go back. I had the Buffaloed bison burger which was very good. some in my party said five guys is better than burgatory but I dont think so. I think they're different entities and can't compare them that easily. One guy even said Red Robin was better than burgatory, which I almost punched him in the face.

[Letang Is The Truth]

red robin yummmmmm

[mac5155]

RR is not bad. but its closer to mcdonalds than burgatory.
