26. Maybe...

I can see paying for some sort of burger for that much, but not for "Fast Food" type burger.
I mean, I generally won't do such a thing, but, there must be some serendipitous things happening for me to do so.

1 - If I am with friends or family that want to do it too
2 - It has something special about it
3 - It must be memorable

For me to consider paying that much, there has to be artistry involved.
I've spent over a bill per person on food at times. I can't see a burger being able to pull that off.

However, for a 38.32 burger, like I said, I won't go for anything that is "Fast Food" type.
It would have to have:

-Genuine Kobe Beef or something of the same quality(Wagyu Beef?)
-Heirloom Tomatoes
-Heirloom Lettuce(If there even is such a thing)
-Sauce made by an actual Sous Chef

Saying that... For a damn burger, I would never pay more than $45 for it adjusted to inflation.
I mean seriously, a burger is a damn burger. It could only go so far.

Out of the ones I would maybe try in that link that I put up, I'd probably try the 10, 9 and 7(there is a $32 version).
The douche burger makes me LOL.
