Like fairies, hamburgers are famously difficult to photograph because they can take thousands of forms and wear a variety of sauces. Capture a delectable meat-pixie with today's deal: for $10, you get $20 worth of burgers, salads, sandwiches, and more at Village Burger Bar. Choose one of two locations: The Shops at Legacy in Plano or Watters Creek in Allen.

Village Burger's all-American menu emulates the nation's topography with its mountains of meaty patties, broad plains of fresh salad greens, and lakes of shakes teeming with frolicking paninis. Burger connoisseurs can sate a craving with signature burgers such as the beef cheddar burger (cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, dill pickles, and champagne mustard; $6.20) or the southwest turkey burger (jalapeño jack, fresh spinach, tomato, and avocado aioli; $6.20). Any offering from the burger bar can be enhanced with a basket of trio fries (shoestring fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings; $4). Diners who prefer leafier eats can try a baby blue salad (strawberries, oranges, blue cheese, and sweet ‘n‘ spicy pecans with balsamic vinaigrette; $8) or a florentine panini with sautéed mushrooms and onions, baby spinach, swiss cheese, and artichoke aioli, plus a side of fries or a house salad ($6.50).

Village Burger Bar's chic booths and upscale atmosphere make for a classy setting in which to sip a cup of LaVazza coffee ($1.70) or engage in heated discussion over the comparative merits of multipurpose paper vs. copy paper.
