Market price for the ostrich burger was a ridiculous 18$ in early November 2012. For a minuscule patty. At Fuddruckers in the smoky ass food court of the Orleans.
I cannot emphasis enough how absolutely asinine it felt to pay that much for a single menu item at the Orleans foodcourt.
The burger itself was not bad. It was not bad at all. Was it as good as (or better) than 3.5 Fukuburgers #2s (at 5$ a piece, one could eat 3.5 of them and still tip fifty cents, all the while supporting local businesses)? Fuck no. Or I don't even know how many In-N-Out DblDbls (I don't want to do that arithmetic)? Fuck no (in this sense it is not even better than one). You get what I am saying here.
Setting aside the immense disappointment in paying higher than BURGER BAR prices for a tiny just good tasting burger in a shitty food court, my girlfriend is vegetarian for her own ethical reasons and had their veggie burger. She knows her veggie burgers, and she told me this one sucked and that it was just a pre-manufactured (not in-house) boca burger. I cannot remember exactly what it cost but it was probably 7$ or 8$ bucks. Go to Burger Bar instead (it is not THAT far away). - E
