2lb ground beef is $9.50. I can make 4 good burgers from that.
Rolls and fries are $10 more.
Add a couple $ for lettuce and tomato and one has fresh made burger deluxe for 4 for under $6 a pop.
The local diner charges $16.99, and mine are better.
It needs to be compelling to pay triple the ingredient cost when you are feeding a whole houseful, and an indifferent burger just isn’t.
