The humble hamburger just got the heist when MacDonald’s upped the price recently to over $8 with taxes for the Angus burger meal.
Wendy’s is only slightly behind them with new higher pricing.
The poor girl at MacDonalds tried to tell me the price was the same. I’ve had a MacDonald’s hamburger too many times not to be a connoisseur on quality and price.
I wouldn’t mind paying more if the staff were getting something close to a living wage, north of $10 per hour. That is not the case for PEI’s wage slaves working in fast food joints.
So cheap and quick is only quick now. Just quick and greasy.
None of the fast food hamburgers is a great meal.
My favourite hamburger in town is at Baba’s on University Avenue where it’s something less than $10 and more than I can eat.
Real meat, great fries (or rice if you are sensible), some veggies and they serve beer. Cedar’s serves the same thing but the atmosphere is wrong for me.
Tell me what’s your best hamburger and why? Anywhere in the world will do.
