56. What, no gold flakes? No endangered animal patties?

I'll stick to the local burger joint. It's downtown and they make great cheese burgers with fries and a coke for less than 3 bucks.

And speaking of ridiculously priced hamburgers, I went to a new place that opened just a few months ago that has organic fast food just to try it. It ended up costing me about $35 for 2 orders of what would be a #1 at Burger King (2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 drinks). It wasn't really worth it. The food was good, but who has that kind of money now-a-days?
