I'm talking "fast food", not gourmet fast food, not hearty fast food or sit down places: .Burger Boy ~ Local chain ($5.45), Whataburger ($5.59) Sonic ($5.20), Burger King ($5.89), Dairy Queen ($5.50)...These burgers are just enough to knock off starvation and they have lettuce and tomato. Not the best, but this is the stuff I get when I'm driving around and suddenly starvation occurs.

This is in San Antonio.
