Obscene burgers, stop the madness
09/16/08
I was watching Diners, Drive Ins and Dives recently and they kept featuring eight ounce burgers, and those were singles not doubles. Around here most restaurants have taken to serving eight ounce burgers with fries for $10. Cheese is extra of course. To me that's too much meat especially when it's high in fat as most burgers are. I understand that it's in a restaurants best interest to sell a slightly bigger burger for more money and that people want more meat but when will it stop? Eight ounces used to be a good sized steak and now it's a normal size burger. Remember when a quarter pounder was a big burger? Not any more.
Just say no, end the burger madness.

My home made gourmet burgers are exactly 6 ounces. I weigh each one with a digital scale. That is big enough.
Gluttony used to be regarded as a social disgrace. Now it is the standard.
