I can get a Whopper Meal (includes fries and a drink) for $8.50CAD ($6.13 in fashy bucks) with a coupon or on Whopper Wednesdays.
If you're gonna be an elitist about ground beef of all things, you deserve to get scammed for $17.

$10 Aud gets you a proper burger in Oz at a bakery or takeaway spot, you'll pay $20+ Aud inc chips/fries in a pub/bistro, but either way you have to tackle them to stop them putting fucking pickled beetroot on it first, dark times all round indeed..
Holy cow, where do you live that Burgers are still $10 anywhere.
Yeah local bakeries still do them for $10, proper fresh buns and salad, still do schnitzel rolls with proper chicken for that price too, not with a big processed chicken nugget pretending to be a schnitzel...
I am so curious what part of Oz you're in, because absolutely nowhere is anything near those prices, where I am, but I am in an expensive city.
Central Coast NSW, there's 2 Vietnamese bakeries and a tradies favourite all within 5mins from me...
Suburban fish and chip shops that have been around for 30 years and also sell either souvlaki or an assortment of chinese dishes.
Damn. I'm starting to really feel how expensive my city is.
I had a double smash cheeseburger for 9β¬ on friday in germany.
160g meat
Is that cheap, by current standards? I'm in Australia, and so is the commenter I asked, but where I am it's unheard of for burgers to be much below $20.

Do we really not see that being on that show might have something to do with that?

Being on a food TV show and becoming slightly famous therefor allows you to increase your prices and still keep all the seats filled. The best burger place near me has increased to $10 from $5 over roughly the same time period, in keeping with the increase in beef prices over that time.
That seems to track. A local place near me burgers have gone from around 10 bucks about 7 years ago to 17-18 bucks a burger. Seems to be the going rate these days

Is the objectively superior choice
rotatingsandwiches.com mentioned! Probably one of the best website on the internet icl
I miss in n out but at least my current state has a cheap burger joint. Its not as good but the cheapest option is like 2.50 which im not sure how that's financially possible tbh
Man in my country the trash burger joints (the burgers are good they just look or feel nothing like classical burgers, they put in a ton of salad and shit to make it bigger) used to do 1.80 and such. The most famous one did a gigantic one for I think 2.50 back in.... 2013. Same burger now is 6.50
In our case the minimum salary has nearly tripled, so it's kinda OK, but it's kinda sad that economic growth is just canceled out by rising prices.
Nice animation, but their burgers, at least around here, are atrocious. Really the worst of the worst.

According to the US Dept of Labor and Statistics, ground chuck cost $2.83/lb in March 2008, and 5.85/lb in March 2025. If i can basic math, thatβs an increase of ~~206~~ 106%.
Edit: Math hard.
106%
That is an increase of 106%
Well, at least you can do basic logicβ¦

Forgive me for being dense, but I donβt understand what youβre saying.
Also the Chicken Guy (Guy Fieri's restaurant chain) in the mall near me shut down a few weeks ago. That was the most unhealthy food I've ever eaten. Good riddance. Also so arrogant to be right next to Chick-fil-A.
American here, but this photo feels like a legit parody of American eating habits. If I were gonna make fun of us I would use this exact image LOL.
