During the summer I will have 2 of my grandsons at my place for a pool and "Pa" day, just me and the boys. They beg me for McD's. Naturally I succumb and order thru Uber Eats.

The food, fee and tip come out to $100

I am in utter shock but, that's the price you pay for happy kids!

My dad and his cronies used to joke about the hundred dollar hamburger; they'd fly their lightweight airplanes from the airpark to some small-town location 50, 100, 150 miles away, get lunch at a restaurant and fly back.

Your post resonated as I passed by and stopped at a BK (for a yearly whopper)..
$9.47 with all the taxes from the Kalifornia republic. Whopper with cheese. Not cheap.

Those are $500 hamburgers now. Or $500 burritos. Ponca City, OK has a really good Mexican place that the pilots can just park, and walk inside to eat.

Enid, OK is widely known amongst pilots as a place for great pie. Get there early or they will be sold out.

We bought our 2004 Cessna 182T in Wichita from a flight school. During the first look at the airplane, he flew us over the Stearman field for a burger and he bought lunch. I still think of that as my quarter million dollar burger.

Picking up some hardware at Menards this morning and the Burger King next door was smelling too good to pass up, so I got a whopper. $5.99 in the Metro area of MN.

Rusty Heaps, we need more info on where you bought yours or maybe they billed you for the whole meal?
