It's quite unlikely that someone who orders a 1000 burgers is actually going to eat them. I can't picture myself eating 1000 of the same kind of burger .. or in the same place..
I guess most people would eat 200 burgers (I'd say at the high end..) which would come out to 5GBP per burger. Not bad for the establishment.. I can't think of any average but even 100 sounds high to me.
- shasta 13y agoDid you see the picture of the burger in the article? All this guy has to do is declare that remaining prepaid burgers are non-transferable upon death, and he'll only ever have to make a few hundred per buyer.
- cfontes 13y agoThat is a good point to raise :D I had a micro heart attack just by looking at it.
- andrewmcdonough 13y agoActually the burger in the picture is healthier than you'd think. It's very good quality beef. I have a balanced diet and exercise lots. I also subscribe to the 'fat is not the enemy' school of thought. Maybe I'll take some before and after photos to prove it!
- asciimo 13y agoThe quality of the beef isn't the point. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/too-much-protein-could-lead-to-early-death-study-says/2014/03/04/0af0603e-a3b5-11e3-8466-d34c451760b9_story.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/too-mu...
- andrewmcdonough 13y agoThere has been much discussion on this piece of research, and issues raised about the reporting of it. I think the response from the NHS was balanced: http://www.nhs.uk/news/2014/03March/Pages/high-protein-diet-may-be-harmful-for-middle-aged.aspx http://www.nhs.uk/news/2014/03March/Pages/high-protein-diet-...
- barry-cotter 13y agoThat study is garbage. It doesn't distinguish between processed and unprocessed meat. It is best filed in the circular container on the floor.
- caseysoftware 13y agoI'm coming to London for the first time in a decade this coming week. I'd love to have a burger with the guy who decided to do this. If you're interested, drop me a note: keith @ op3nvoice.com
- sillysaurus3 13y agoI just looked at the burger in question. Wow! I'd totally eat 1,000 of those. But I guess I should start caring about things like not having heart attacks, so I don't know. My heart says "yes" though.
- jasonkester 13y agoMy advice would be to come to England and eat a hamburger here before committing to a thousand of them, regardless of how good they look in the picture. I sometimes daydream about importing the cheapest, far-end-of-the-freezer-aisle, just-barely-not-animal-feed grade hamburger patties from the US so that I could sell them here as gourmet burgers for premium prices. The quality of the beef really is that bad here, as is the process that somehow turns it into the rubbery, filler-laden non-edible Superball of Sadness that gets passed off for burgers here. That, along with Mexican food, is one of the main reasons I travel back to the states so frequently. Now, if we could only get English bacon shipped over to America, that might be reason enough to move back.
- alanbyrne 13y agoI can't speak for the rest of England, but there are some amazing burgers in London. A good starting point: http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/restaurants/burgeracs-20-best-london-burgers-9171538.html http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/restaurants/burgeracs-20-... 100% agree about Mexican food though!
- corin_ 13y agoThere's great Mexican food available in London too, maybe not quite like SoCal but still good
