Er, have you looked at food prices lately? The ingredients for homemade burgers divided by number of burgers made totals closer to $2 than $0.
I nitpick because I care.
Also: nice scatterplot!
Also, you can get a burger at many fast food restaurants for less than $2.
About 1 USD in Sweden at McD’s…
Yeah, a bit inaccurate there. And I’m wondering where the Guy Fieri trio – diners, drive-ins, “dives” (the below-mentioned bar burger) – would rank. Probably about as good as homemade but… I don’t know, 6-8 bucks? (Because they’re ENORMOUS and a heart attack on a bun?)
Think thats in accurate, they forgot the dot for Fifties nostalgia diners
That is, of course, unless you count In-N-Out. In this case, does it fall under the “fancy restaurant” category?
Man, if I could make a burger and fries as good as in-n-out, I’d be obese.
Man, I love In-N- Out. I live on the east coast and only get them when traveling for business once ever few years. I would pay a fortune to get an In-N-Out in South Carolina.
I live on the east coast, too, but I grew up in CA. In-N-Out is the first place I go after landing in LA and the last place I go before I leave!
You forgot the BEST burger out there – the Bar Burger!
Oh, yeah. Cheap, satisfying, and if you hit the right joint, among the best in town. Dig it.
I dunno. Most fancy restaurants don’t focus on burgers so theirs usually suck.
That really depends on where you go. I had a Kobe beef burger before it was pretty good. In the show Three Sheets, Zane Lamprey was in Vegas and had a $700 burger w/ Kobe beef and lobster tail, and it looked like he enjoyed it very well!!! (see episode in hulu)
That’s weird, in soho you can get one with kobe beef, truffles and caviar for $42. Must’ve had a gold chain embedded in his.
I think it came with a Dom
Why on earth would you want a burger with truffles and caviar?! That’s just a waste of great separate ingredients! What’s wrong with a nice slice of cheese?
They’re doing it just because it can be done (but I doubt if it would taste nice).
a third axis for time required?
home made does not mean free, unless you still live with your mom, in which case it applies since most graphjam viewers are thirty somethings living in moms basement.
pleeeassseee dude!!!! You suck man, I’m 40.
Burgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.
5Guys Burgers Off the freaking chart!!!
wooohooooo!
Depends on when you go. Occationally, I get a really good burger there, but other times I get a burger that’s shaped like a crescent moon and only has toppings on one side. But the quality of the fries only varies from great to OMG.
i second this… had one for the first time in virginia beach… my mother who hadnt had one (hamburger of any kind) in like 3 years even loved it… not entirely the cheapest but still amazing… and the fries T_T so good
I think it overrates the quality of the amusement park burger…
I was going to ask: Where do you shop that you’re making free burgers that tasty? I need to find places that give away USDA prime grade beef…yum!
Looks more like 50 cents a piece, which is about what it comes out to when you buy big packages of beef, buns, and condiments.
If you’re buying cheap meat, tiny patties, cheap buns and such? I can see $.50 What I don’t see is a cheap patty on cheap buns being superior to fancy restaurant burgers. You have to invest at least a little into the meat. I make pretty good burgers, but they probably end up around $1.00. Around $1 – 2 I could consistently beat Fancy, but most of the time I’m just grilling for me and the bf.
Well, let’s do some math then (in Euro’s):
12-pack of frozen patties: maybe €2,-, could be less (depends on the brand), I usually buy the cheapest stuff I can get
12-pack of buns (usually they come in 10 or 8, so I make double cheeseburgers): €0.90
a cucumber: €0.45
onions: €0.80
ketchup and mustard: €1,- (cheapest brands)
cheddar cheese slices: €1.50 (I think)
Total: €6.65
Divided by 10 (8 single cheeseburgers, 2 double): €0.67
Price of a hamburger at McDonald’s: €1,-
So yeah, the block for ‘homemade’ is pretty accurate.
I always use 80/20 for meat. It’s usually the cheapest and is much juicier. And most people already have the condiments around, which for sure makes it seem cheaper.
I’ve never had a home made burger as good as from a nice restaurant.
Sounds like your burger is made in the wrong home.
Shoulda added the Room Service burger, which varies wildly from dried-out blarf to “bestest burger on the planet”. The later in the night you order it, plus how drunk you are, influences its awesomeness. Nevermind the outrageous cost, being able to eat without leaving your hotel room is priceless.
I wasn’t trying to be 100% accurate. Often people have ingredients to make in their house, and besides, ground beef around 3 bucks, being the most expensive ingredient, you can make four-six burgers for the price of one at a restaurant. I didn’t realize how picky the comments were here. I’ll be more accurate next time I think of a graph.
Always use 80/20 ground beef. It’s cheaper and fattier. Fattier means juicier (just watch for grease fires!). And I knew exactly why you had them so far down expense-wise. Cheap buns aren’t necessarily inferior. And if you go to Aldi, you’re all set! Just don’t add salt to the meat before or while you’re cooking it unless you want sawdust in your mouth.
so true! they’re even better when u make them yourself.
I dunno…My parent’s cheeseburgers are meh at best. And Chili’s has a good like, “old timey” cheeseburger…Dangit! Now I really want one! xD
When it comes to burgers outside of home, nothing beats In-N-Out Burgers, especially for those who are lucky enough to live in areas where there is one available (mostly Southern California and other parts of the western half of the United States).
My first reaction was “What fancy restaurant serves a burger?”
My second reaction was “What fancy restaurant serves anything for under $10?”
Not a bad graph, but Amusement Park, Fast Food, and Homemade would have been plenty to make your point and lolz.
$0 for homemade? Yeah, and you wonder why your roommates are always on your case…
Of course for some people that just makes it taste better.
Somebody’s never been to Five Guys
Burgers cost the equivalent of 5$ here in France in fast foods
Er…actually, burgers are one food my parents don’t make very well. I prefer them at restaurants, though burgers at “fancy” restuarants tend to be almost as bad-tasting (and cooked a lot worse) than ones at fast food, so I find the best burgers at at places in between sit-down resturants and cheap fast-food places like Burger King.
There’s a big difference between regular fast food burgers and dollar menu burgers. They should have been graphed as separate points.
Someone’s still living with his mommy.
Greasy Bowling Alley Burgers… MMMMMMMMMM
My mom’s burgers are very gross. I’m surprised they’re not still raw if I left her to her own devices. Seriously, hers is “done cooking” and eaten before mine is sufficiently cooked.
Veggie burgers are generally all pretty much the same – crappy unless you make it yourself.
But still – go vegetarianism!
