Why spend $12 at a bar for a cheeseburger when a Big Mac is $4 or ramen is $0.25 ?

Because you're an idiot? Alternatively, because you want to socialise with rich people. In all cases, the better alternative is to buy fish and vegetables for 6$ and cook them yourself for a healthy and nutritious meal.

Spending $12 for a burger is considered "rich"? You pay close to that in most dinners... And the $4 McDonalds/Dennys/JITB/whatever burger is nowhere close to the $8 or $12 burger you get in actual restaurants.

Besides, the point of dining out is not getting stuffed with food on the cheap to avoid hunger.

>Because you're an idiot?

You know this adds nothing to the discussion, and only encourages people to disregard everything you're saying, right?

I'm a good cook, but my favorite burger place charges around 12eur for a burger and I'm happy to pay it because I can't easily recreate the same at home, and it's freaking delicious.

"Because I want to socialize with rich people" is beyond absurd.
