Judging by the last time I went to Burger King that $30 probably paid for 2 people to eat. There are plenty of good restaurants I can go to and get an entree for $15 or possibly less.
No good restaurant has a $15 entree unless your idea of good is Chile’s. Which is fine, no judgment to those who enjoy Chile’s and such. But let’s be clear here.
That depends very much where you live. Around me, 8-15 is a pretty standard range for decent sit-down places. You can pay more, but most places hit that range pretty squarely. Depending where you go, you can get burgers and the like for under $4, much better quality than fast food, but not sit down places.
Wages here are pretty damned low, though, so they really can’t charge a lot and actually have business.
I agree depends very much on where you live but anywhere where Burger King costs over $30 is going to be more expensive than the kind of areas you are talking about. That seems to be the underlying assumption in this thread at least.
Dude a whopper meal doesn’t cost $17 anywhere. A cursory google search will show you that. The most expensive I see is $12 and that is 1 source. The rest run $6-$10 typically.
Dunno what to tell you man, that’s what comes up here on the bk website. There’s a whole 2 locations within an hour of me. I don’t eat fast food and I’m not about to install their app just for this conversation, so but hey, let’s even say the $16.70 is a whole 20% higher than the actual price… that’s still like $14 for the large meal, which still puts it squarely within the $30/2 range.
I tend to agree with @[email protected] , prices can vary wildly, in my area I’m closer to his 12ish bucks. This is for a large meal WITH cheese and bacon
Well yeah $15 is not going to get you haute cuisine prepared by Chef Ramsay himself, but there are tons of little local spots that fall in that range. Hell, I could get Chinese take out or a whole pizza and spend less than $30, and those are both better than Burger King lol
Where the hell do y’all live? Because round here plenty of places have good entrees for $15, sure it’s been creeping up to 18 lately but I’m pretty sure I can get a decent meal for that.

But that really isn’t true either because fast food has gotten quite out of control here as well.
A large whopper meal at the closest place is almost $17. So you could easily hit $30 for 2.

Where do you live?! I ate a Mexican lunch so fat I nearly exploded. $20, tip and all.
Lunch specials i would say certainly deserve an asterisks, and $20 is a lot of money for one meal.
