The restaurant in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was Chez Quis.
I was in Iceland at “The Chuck Norris Grill”.
It’s essentially a bar, with bar food.
I got a cheeseburger with fries.
I did the conversion...$42 for a cheeseburger at a bar.
SF and Hawaii have nothing on Reykjavik.
I was tempted to spend my entire stay in the room just to justify the cost, but I went for a long stroll instead.
Beautiful but PRICY.
I was gonna worka job in Finland but perdiem would allow you to starve there
ha!
and me thinking Five Guys is too pricey
good burgers but man oh man
$40 for 2 people
I’ll take a double w/grilled onions at In-N-Out.
$4.95.
I’m frankly not sure what point this guy is trying to make.
So there’s an expensive restaurant that serves a comically overpriced hamburger. This is not new.
What is relatively new is the smell of feces and urine and general decay that permeates the entire city. That might be a bigger existential problem than a snooty restaurant, which SF has had for centuries.
Sounds nice, but pricy!
I was in Luxembourg City and we decided to hit up McDonalds.
The cashier was a super hot blonde chick.
I ordered my food, which included beer and paid for it.
I’m just standing there, and she says I’ll bring out to you.
I almost fainted.
She brings me the food, and it was like the food in the pictures. It was awesome.
The city had no homeless or thugs. No litter or graffiti.
Cookout has awesome burgers. Carolina chain, IIRC.
I like my extra extra extra onions raw on my In-N-Out cheeseburger. There’s no other way for me.
do they have a 5 dollar shake as well?
The burger’s OK but a cone of fries will cost you twenty buckaroos. It’s the truffles that make them expensive. My local MickeyD’s offered to put some fungus on my fries for free but I turned them down...
A burger, fries, and a beer would cost about the same in Boston, if not more, with all the taxes they collect.
I never go to any US cities as thugs have ruined every single one.
Thanks for the info though. Just another reason to never go.
WAITSTAFF: Sir, this IS San Francisco. We have to work with what we have, and we have lots of that. And it IS near at hand, too.
