Smallish nitpick: Starbucks would be found in a Barnes and Noble. Borders has their own cafe.
I haven’t tried the SDB, but I do like the other hamburgers they serve there. Plus their commercials crack me up (Hardees; I don’t know about any Carl Jrs). Apparently eating one of their hamburgers instantly makes you a man. In fact, your activity, whether it’s two-tracking or fixing your old Mustang, just isn’t really manly until you’ve got that Hardees Hamburger to knock it up a few.
Ha, what about a $60 burger (Kobe Beef, Foie Gras, Shaved Black Truffles), Chips extra.
Way back in the 70’s, there was a place in the Panama Canal Zone that served up The Feastburger. It was 2 inches thick and the diameter of a dinner plate (actually a little bigger). No lettuce, no tomatoes, no other cheap soggy filler. Just meat and bread. We used to get them and cut them in half. Half for lunch, half for supper. Now THAT was a burger. And it only cost $2.00 back then.
I’ve been there, and have had their $16 version (kobe beef burger, without the foie gras, etc. Which was fine, since my plebeian taste buds don’t like those things, anyway). I was certainly skeptical even paying $16 for a burger… until I had it. worth every penny of it. Man, was it a good burger. I can’t wait to the next time I’m there to have another one!
For a fast food burger, I think Carl’s $6 is pretty damn good.
AFAIAC, this is the finest fast food hamburger available. Unfortunatly, there are no Carls or Hardees around here. There was a Carls in Oklahoma somewhere near the TX boarder. I took my friend on a one hour detour so I could stop there and get the WBCB and a side of zuchinni.
OTOH, there is a place in Dallas called Who’s Who burgers and they have Kobe beef burgers (Actually, Kobe style beef) they sell for about $8 without cheese. They are fantastic.
I keep reading the initials as “SBD” and then read it as “silent but deadly”. Perhaps this is appropriate, if the burger causes any gastrointestinal distress.
