A few weeks ago my wife and I had a craving for a burger. We went to some hipster place, hoping for something a bit healthier than McDonalds. They said there was a 40 minute wait (for takeout), so we ended up getting McDonalds after all.
There wasn't anyone else waiting there, but I assume they had orders queued up from delivery services. Still, it seems a bit stupid to tell someone in your restaurant to wait - even though you are probably getting more profits from them.
- dvtrn 6y agoAre “hipster place” burgers, once you account for the miscellaneous accoutrements factually and measurably healthier than say a McChicken per serving? (Arguably if your diet includes a lot of McDonalds regularly that answer is “probably lot not” but I mean 1:1 meals) Or is there a place where one could see some approximations? I’m curious as someone who loves the McChicken but knowingly keeps his consumption of them to a minimum.
- cm2012 6y agoHipster burgers are thicker with higher fat content, guaranteed to be more calories. They also usually have a brioche bun with more calories and a huge serving of "aioli" (mayo).
- st1ck 6y agoHigher fat content also means more satiating, so you won't feel hungry shortly after eating. If all of the ingredients are healthier than McD, that should be a clear win. OTOH I don't think burger is a good choice for a healthy meal anyway. I'd choose a hipster version primarily for taste and aesthetics.
