You're probably right and I just can't seem to grasp
paying $20 for a burger, fries, and drink at Five Guys.
Whataburger was super unimpressive, and I even gave them
a second chance just in case it was an off day for them
or me.
There is a 'Five Guys' in Beaufort. I know some people who went there and they were definitely not impressed and said the price was outrageous.
I have to ask, what's the big fascination with "smash burgers"? Anyone ever heard of the Maillard reaction? Restaurants charge a lot of money for something anyone can do at home by simply calling it a "smash burger". Got a hot skillet? Got a spatula? You can make a smash burger for less than half the cost of having someone flatten it for you.
Same deal as Primanti brothers. Overpriced and over-hyped chain restaurant food.
