Astronaut cooks have made numerous attempts to wrangle hamburgers into space-ready meals, from dehydrated-pickle disks to vacuum-sealed burger bottles. Enjoy what our starry-eyed brethren never can with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of burgers, sandwiches, and more at Sandwich Inn.

Boasting the prestigious title of Gainesville's oldest restaurant, Sandwich Inn has served the needs of famished Floridians from its drive-thru diner for more than 50 years. Burger connoisseurs can sate a carnivorous craving with a double burger ($2.69) or a triple cheeseburger ($3.99)—both made quadrupley delicious when paired with one of the burger bar's succulent sides, such as french fries ($1.09–$2.59), onion rings ($1.39–$2.79), and fried okra ($1.09–$2.19). Diners who prefer substyle eats can try a philly cheesesteak ($3.99) or a tuna ($3.29) or cuban sandwich ($3.49). They may also wrap their meat trap around a country-fried steak sandwich ($1.69), shaped to resemble your NATO member of choice. Sidle up to Sandwich Inn's drive-thru or mosey to the walkup counter to pick up a fast, fresh meal and bask in the glory of a time-tested burger joint.
