====================
 JW> Some people (too many people) can't grasp the basic economic

I don't recall what foodservice entity it was that in
my childhood had a slogan that came out on the radio as
"ya pays fa kawality"; you do, of course. Nobody would
be so foolhardy as to use that as an advertising point
in modern times.

 JW> I've paid more for great burgers. Fatburger Canada has $8 burgers,
 JW> $6 sides and $4 shakes but I always walk away fat and happy.

Those are standard prices nowadays in the big city.

 The
 JW> fancy pants Delux Burger Bar has $12 to $15 burgers and sides. But in
 JW> all fairness they make half pound burgers with locally sourced
 JW> organic aged Angus beef, topped with high quality bacon and a
 JW> variety of good (real) cheeses such as aged sharp Cheddar and blue
 JW> cheese, their huge sides easily feed two and their international
 JW> beer list runs 50 deep. 

We have a number of such places, of which Bobby's purports to be
one; the others that comes immediately to mind are Shake Shack
and Bistro Moderne (I think that's the name). There are plenty of
others, every metro area has at least one local chain, and some
of which actually deliver the goods.

Listening to stock market experts is pretty much the same as
gambling. The other way is equally effective, as I can attest,
though as you say enjoyable.
