UPDATED: Burger Price Comparison

There’s SO many burger joints to choose from, it’s a target rich environment. Which is the best cheeseburger in the land? You’ll never get everyone to agree, especially since there’s several different styles of cheeseburgers. Some like thick patties, some like smash. But in this economy one thing we can all appreciate is price. Of course, the meat is a major factor. Patty sizes ranges from 2.5 – 8 ounces. That’s a dramatic difference. But toppings significantly affect the final price too. For this analysis I used a cheeseburger with bacon, grilled onions and jalapenos as a test. Some places include the toppings on a featured burger that fits the criteria. Some had to be added as an option, which in a few instances added a few dollars to the price. There were eateries that charged extra and some were no extra charge. At any rate, I was surprised at some of the results and had to check the math a few of times be sure. Take a look. I’ll bet you’ll find a few surprises too. It’s listed as the best value to most expensive. Let us know what you think.
