Yeah smoothies are a racket. They're so cheap to make and they rape you on the price. At home I can make 10 smoothies for about $10.
I want to audit this. Post your recipe.
Bananas, 2 tablespoons of milk, water and ice.
Is this a virgin daiquiri or a smoothie?
:lmao: I'm just trying to envision a way to keep it under 1 buck per smoothie.
$2.49 - 12oz bag of frozen blueberries$2.49 - 12oz bag frozen raspberries

$2.00 - 4lbs bananas @ $.49/lb

$2.50 - 5 plain fat free yogurt, 6oz each

Smoothie: one banana, few blueberries, few raspberries, 3oz yogurt, teaspoon of honey, 1/2 scoop protein powder, few ounces of water and a few ice cubes.

I always have honey and protein powder on hand. If I factor in the combined cost, its about $.50 per smoothie.

Maybe getting 10 smoothies out that is stretching it a bit...8 is definitely doable though. Close enough. My point is they rape you and it can be made at home for a fraction of the cost.

For $4.50 (combo) pick between burger/grilled chicken breast/bbq, get a chicken wrap, get a bacon wrap, and a coke float. You can upgrade that float to a shake for a buck. It' really enough food to feed two. Best deal in town and the food isn't half bad.

I don't know why someone didn't think of a bacon wrap sooner. First one I got had close to 6 pieces of bacon in it.
Not a big fan of the burgers, but for the price not bad. Plus, they at least have the chili/slaw option which is rare here in stupid VA (and 5G ignores the chili/slaw crowd).

The fries are surprisingly good for a place that cheap.

Agree on the bacon wrap. Great idea.
I never get the fries. They kind of skimp on them. Bacon/chicken wrap >> 24 fries. Depending on location, sometimes they crammed those wraps with 3 nice sized tender pieces.

Like you said, the burgers aren't bad for the price. Add in grilled onions and most any burger will taste good.
Wait....you can get "wraps" as a "side"? What about a hot dog or corn dog?? That'd be :moneybag: and a bargain no matter how you slice it.

 
My daily smoothie recipe:

  • 1 large banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 6 oz Chobani 0% Greek Yogurt
  • 3/4 cup skim milk
  • 1 Tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or agave
  • 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
Cost: $1.37-ish

Taste: Delish
 
Started noticing SmashBurger locations (one by Staples Center in LA), whats the deal with it? Never heard of it until lately.

No In&Out doesn't have bacon. Would love bacon as a choice (realized I eat bacon almost daily now) so its just I&O and not a CA thing.

But I&O is just simple good food, yes even the fries are good!

That's a carb bomb right there.

 
Now Cleveland has better food options than NYC?
i wouldn't say that, impossible to compete with much if anything on a coast....but we are very under rated. Could eat out every day for a year and barely make a dent. I'd put us up against just about any inland city.
I can vouch for this. I have traveled a lot of travel to Cleveland and it is a great food town. So many great restaurants.
 
I will be making my 7th trip to CA this year next week. It will be my 7th opportunity to not eat INO. Pretty pumped.

Wraps count as sides, dogs don't. I'll take my son…burger/coke float for him, two wraps for me. We're both full and out the door for roughly $4.50. A couple of the Cook-Outs offer promo milk shakes for 99 cents. You get the flavor of the day, but it's a good milk shake.

Pretty sure corn dogs count as sides

You are correct. Also $4.25 for a tray at this location. Best deal in fast food.

Damn....adding that to the fat ### eating out rotation just for the value :thumbup:

 
That 4x4 looks damned good. I always get a 3x3 when I go.

The cool thing about the secret menu is every employee knows all of it. At McD's the guy at the drivethru usually can't even name all the McNugget sauces.

Also I like how they keep something like peppers in stock all the time even though it's secret menu and rarely ordered.

Probably my best I&O experience was when they brought the truck to work. Way too much inventory for the amount of employees we have. They were giving out double doubles left and right. I went home with 5

 
Someone lied in here earlier. Fudruckers does NOT have unlimited fries. When I told the cashier I was involved in a pretty intense online debate about counter service hamburgers on a fantasy football message board, and someone mentioned that they have bottomless fries, she laughed at me. Probably not about the fries.

 
I'm really disappointed in lack of Culver's pimping in this thread.

Did all the WI guys leave?
Big fan

Im a big Culvers fan. Cheese curds = very yummy.
Delicious burgers and cheese curds served by cute little Midwestern girls. :thumbup:

Culver's really probably just too classy and above all the mudslinging for this thread.

Nothing like that pound of butter plopping on your plate when you take a bite.

That place must be a madhouse on gameday.

I actually took some time to read up on the past few pages this AM and decided our family was going out for burgers. There is a 5 guys a town over but we have a Lindburger down the street so I'm going to give them a second look. They are no fudruckers but they have a good burger.

Just looked them up online..... GREAT webpage for a business check it out.
