The Groupon Guide to: Fancy Hamburgers
Hamburgers used to be the official food of the common man: everyday ground meat put to flame or, sometimes, simply confetti mixed with gravy and shaped into a crude disk shape. But, no more: hamburgers, like all foods in our country, have been given the gourmet treatment. Here are some of the top fancy burgers:
Winning Gold at the Burgerlympics: This burger has foie gras for buns, is made from Kobe beef, has blue cheese flown in from the rudest part of France, and is drizzled in ketchup so rich it’s legally recognized as blood in some of the worst hospitals. It is, of course, disgusting, but since when has that mattered?
The Fonz Burger: Served in a leather jacket, wearing sunglasses, brought to the table on a (complimentary) motorcycle, and only tastes good for about halfway through
The Extra-Delicious Burger: Not just Prime beef and not just grass-fed free-range beef, this burger is guaranteed to have been loved by a child at some point.
The You Burger: The latest in the custom food trend, this burger is formed in the exact size and shape as you were when you were born.
The Billion-Dollar Burger: Two kinds of lettuce
