just because you are confined to a wheelchair shouldn’t mean you can’t enjoy a burger.

If you can't climb Mount Everest, whom do you sue? Gotta be somebody.

Once you start the "reductio" on your argument, you get to "absurdem" really fast. Wisdom is that not everyone can do everything. None of us needs to do everything.

And at the same time, without police-state laws like the ADA, "everything" will often find a way to come to you. Do you think nobody wants to sell a burger to a guy in a wheelchair? (Why should everybody have to?) Besides ramps and other devices, which many walk-in businesses would have put in on their own, there are innovations that benefit the wheelchair market along with everyone else. A decade ago, who thought about drive-up windows? Now they're everywhere. No ADA storm-trooper-inspector would have come up with the drive-up window.

With ADA and its absurd, expensive consequences, businesses are killed and countless innovations are never dreamed of.

I would still say the burger joint because they are the reason most people couldnt climb a mountain. If anyone decides to sue let me know, I want a piece of that action. ;)
