[...] Or is it appropriately befitting of such seminal architecture? Also, how rad would it be if the Mission Burger guys took over that [...]

I’m not afraid to pay for a quality Burger and I’ve spent more on lesser Burgers.. I guess cause that’s how Alameda rolls. Misson burger is on hit though. Worth every penny for the quality ingredients and craftsmanship. Hit that shit up.

$8 Is too much for this burger? WTF? I used to work for acme and I can tell you that the pan de mie buns are costing them more than 60 cents apiece wholesale. A third of a pound of Harris ranch brisket, short ribs, and chuck isn’t exactly lips and a$$holes. Proper caramelized onions, which these are, have a high labor cost. DL is making $7 per; a sit down restaurant will fail with a 40% food cost. If you want the dollar menu, roll south 6 blocks. A-holes indeed.

It’s not too much for me to pay. I guess I’m just rich. And sexy.

I don’t know if it’s worth five dollars, but it’s pretty f***ing good.

You could also go to Spork and get a $14 burger.

Yeah? Tell it to Burger Joint, or Big Mouth, or Urban Burger, where I paid $11 for a burger last night, after finding Mission Burger had run out of meat before I could get there.

I enjoyed every dollar of that burger, and while I wouldn’t spend that kind of cash on burgers daily, I also wouldn’t *eat* burgers daily. I would say that the dollar-to-pleasure ratio compares rather favorably to that for other “splurge” meals I’ve had, in tonier locales–and I imagine it’d only be enhanced by a dollar for the Food Bank.

Hell, I think I might just splurge on another burger today, if I can get there in time. Urban Burger tastes good, but it’s no Michelin 3-star granulated meat column…

$8 is too much for a hamburger.

Remember $1 of that is for charity. And given the grade of the materials used for these burgers I’d imagine there’s less margin in these puppies than anything served under the arches.

$8 for a to-go only burger?

Great, more a-holes.

We bought the rights to those packs with our breakfast and then just re-used them(rather than tossing them). But don’t get us wrong–we are cutthroat in terms of margins. We’d steal whole burgers if McDonalds aged and granulated their burgers.

I can’t wait to try this tomorrow.. but are they really using stolen McDonald’s ketchup packets to give to customers?
