Like fairies, hamburgers are famously difficult to photograph because they can take thousands of forms and wear a variety of sauces. Capture a fleeting glimpse of meat before it enters your mouth with today’s Groupon to Z-Burger. Z-Burger’s menu boasts a bevy of high-quality burgers, hot dogs, and cheesesteaks, as well as 75 varieties of shakes and malts. Gnash your gold-enamel nuggets into one of the restaurant’s hand-formed hamburgers ($3.39 single, $4.49 double), served on buns made from a secret recipe, then layered with optional toppings including sauerkraut, hot sauce, relish, banana peppers, and the restaurant’s special Z-sauce. Pair your main course with fresh-cut french fries ($2.59 regular, $4.19 large) or onion rings ($2.89 regular, $4.39 large). And the astonishing array of shake and malt incarnations ($3.39 regular, $4.59 large) will please any palate, with flavors running the gamut from blackberry cobbler to maple walnut, and from frozen hot chocolate to peanut butter and jelly. Enjoy the restaurant’s free WiFi and start sizing up the competition for next July’s Independence Burger Eating Championship.
