[...] I guess what really bugs me though is the quality of the food you get for the money. I know, presentation, blah, blah, blah. I like a well put together plate, and the combination of foods is great, but really it is the quality of food that matters. A salad needs to have quality lettuce with a good combination of flavors. The stake needs to be cooked well, seasoned to perfection and above all moist - I HATE dry meats. Portion size should be appropriate, not these tiny things on huge plates and a dribble of sauce in some fancy shmancy pattern. Appetizers shouldn’t be priced like an entre any other restaurant. John Chow brought this to mind with his blog post about a really expensive hamburger. I cannot even begin to imagine spending that kind of dough for any kind of burger. On my trip to NY last week I had a $17 “steak burger” and the Red Eye Grill and left unsatisfied to say the least. It did not even compare to my brother-in-law’s creation on his humble backyard grill. By the way, the secret to having a moist, thick burger that stays together…mix in some shredded cheese to the burger. Acts like glue and a keeps the burger oh so moist even when you cook it through. Don’t say you never learned anything from this site [...]

If you eat one of those regularly, maybe you’ll die of a heart attack.

$8. The Tin Shed in Portland has a great bleu cheese and bacon cheeseburger. Add an IPA to your meal and you’re in glutton heaven

Yes Ben, as “crazy” as it may sound to you… I would describe a dead animal on a plate as gross or disgusting. If the burger was actually made out of human meat, I assume that you would change your opinion.

This is just stupid. You obviously have more money than you know what to do with, and that makes me very sad for you. What a waste.

I had a bison burger that was about $25. I think that was the most expensive I’ve had
