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).


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


Probably depends on the city, but where I'm from it's difficult (but probably not completely impossible) to get a Döner for 5€ :(


> more than enough for a teenager

You watched any teenage boys eating, recently?

I assume a doner is about the same as a gyro sandwich, around here (usually $7-$10).

A good teenager can shovel down two of them, easy.


There's this $5000 hamburger: https://www.de-daltons.com/the-golden-boy/


Looking at the photo at https://www.de-daltons.com/the-golden-boy/#9f8739e7-f637-4e4..., it seems like the person eating the EUR 5,000 burger doesn't have enough money (or taste?) left to buy a decent beer to go with it.


Wow!


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)
