Wife doesn’t like burgers, had never been to Steak n Shake. Must be a Filipino thing because she cant’ cook 'em either.

First bite, “This is the burger I have been looking for!” She loved the seasoning so much she bought 2 bottles, $5 each.

Forget what we paid, but it was on par with McDonalds, including the $5 tip. The restaurant itself and waitress kinda sucked, “Do you have coffee?” “We’re out.” So make some? This is a restaurant. Something else basic was out, I forget. But the point stands, a proper sit-down meal was the same cost as McDonalds, except delicious.

And don’t start me on local Mexican dives and trucks. I can get 3 deluxe street tacos for $10, less than some of the gross combos at McDonalds. And that place is a little high!
