look. imagine a place where the burger is not native. where the best burger you can hope for is... adequate.
imagine, if you will, a country shaped like a schnitzel.
in the twilight zone.

Portland 2005, except it's damn near impossible to get a bad meal in Portland. Best food I ever had consistently in my life.
Portland, TX has some pretty shitty food fyi
All I know of Texas food is Burnt Ends and a Whiskey scene that's just over the fucking top insane with no end in sight.

And the opposite of this, if the menu is plain text and pictures of food that were taken with a digital camera from 2009 then its going to be fantastic
Burger place with yellowed ceiling tiles and a laminated menu? That shit is gonna be good.
Because these places are passionate about food. The fancy ones are passionate about money and profit. I see it all over California, it's absolutely true.
Worst place I ate brought the raw burger to you next to a boiling hot slab of rock. I was expected to cook my own burger the way I liked it. Well fuck you, I'm paying you to cook my meal. Plus it just seemed disgusting to have raw meat at the table anyway
Is this like American hot pot?
Australian hot pot, you have to catch the sheep yourself.
It's not a restaurant but the sheep looks kinda hot.
Don't forget the smugness. These types of places always have such smug staffing, like they think they shit gold or something. It's like bitch please, you're demanding someone pay a day's wage for you to fuck up ground beef. Fuck off out of here with your foofoo bullshit burger.
The most mediocre dining experience (for the money) I've ever had was at a restaurant called "Smallwares." Emphasis on small, it turns out. Case in point, we ordered duck breast, which cost a fair bit. I was picturing at least a fair amount, but it was the smallest smidgen slivered up with a dollop of sauce. It was the same with every dish, high prices for not much food.
Sure there were other places that had worse food. One remote dinner lacked any fresh food, but you can't really help that when you're in the middle of nowhere. But never have I felt like I was being fed by Famine from Good Omens.
I wouldn't judge a book by its cover. Following aesthetic trends is just being savvy, it's not necessarily compensating for something.

They have one here! I just subbed to it! All we need is wewantcups.

But where else do I get my malt vinegar fix?
Funnily enough, I'm Spanish and the meme is somehow also accurate here?
Australian and it's accurate here. I suspect the trend is common wherever there's a market for hipster burger places

This is absolutely not true.
Sometimes it's a very mediocre $8 taco.
Burgercore!
The burger is fine, but the sides are usually amazing.
If they're good they'll be overpriced
A quite big Döner Brand in Germany(Berlin Döner) has shops like this and they aren't even that bad. They aren't outstandingly god but also not bad. Its maybe a bit overpriced for 6€(at least in my city it costs 6€).

Copy + paste small business tyrant investment. Like a ghost kitchen. They all just copy each other because it returns a consistent profit.
There is probably some kind if grotesque item in the menu as a "draw", too. The Tower of Cheese. The Bacon Bun. The [town name] challenge, a dish made of 34 kinds of flesh. Get in here, techbros! Get your grub.
