Burgers: keep it cheap or go gourmet?

Question

This is just a survey to see what are people's opinions. Do you think it is worth it to spend the extra money for a resturant style burger or are they not worth the extra money compared to fast food burgers?

Answer 1

How much more does a restaurant burger cost you? Like 3 bucks more than a value meal... I thinks its worth it if you have the time. But honestly I'd eat a burger anywhere anytime. I LOVE them!!!

Answer 2

Fast food burgers are made of animal entrails. Restaurant burgers are the meat.

Answer 3

i like to spend the extra money sometimes and go to nicer place for a burger, ruby tuesdays, chilis, johnnys, places like that

Answer 4

A fast food burger will never compare to a real hamburger.

Answer 5

i would say a burger is of course suppose to be good and satisfy your hunger, but I would hardly call it gourmet. save the money for a steak or lobster in my opinoin.  Good luck with your survey.

Answer 6

I think that they are completely different.  the closest thing to a fast food burger that resembles restaurant style would be something like fuddrucker's or a diner..

Answer 7

Well if i am poor and need to do McDonald's dollar menu, then a double cheeseburger will suffice...however, if I am craving a nice juicy burger, I just go to Ruby Tuesday's or somewhere for a nice yummy burger...they are definately worth the money. MMM...i could go for a nice burger now lol.

Answer 8

I always see it like I CAN get a burger at McDonald's so when I go to a restaurant I have something better like chicken or steak.

Answer 9

Niether, home made burgers are so delicious!  Espically when they are the thickness of three McDonalds burgers.  :P

Answer 10

FInd a good diner..  better burger and not much more money.  There are some better chains,  (Five Guys)  and occasional some local outfits  ( I have one called Plan B..    14 taps, they grind their own meat) but the burgers are all less than 10 bucks (with fries) and they are big enough to share.   If I am stuck at fast food, then its McDonalds  Big N'Tasty  No Mayo (so hopefully you get a fresh one) or a Wendys single, no mayo. Some OK beef flavor and salt..     Better than a bag of chips.  Somedays, that makes it.

Answer 11

If you dont want a big greasy wad that is squished in the wrapping, then go for a fast food burger. Most taste good regardless of what they look like or what is on them. Gourmet Burgers, like at TGIFridays, Ruby Tuesday, Etc. have better quality beef, like ground sirlion and ground strip steak. Plus they add onions, garlic, mushrooms to their burgers to enhance the flavor. They also top the burger with quality fixins, not processed cheese and iceberg lettuce. The gourmet approach is better, but fast is fast.

Answer 12

Ive always found that the cheap ones are the best.
