Don't forget the fact that despite it's just a cheeseburger, it's named "The Vonderbilt Wonder", "Halfsie Pattsies", or "Edmonton the Second". Ideally on a menu so scant on details it's hard to tell the french fries from the extra avocado.

The truly fancy places call ‘em “frites”, not French fries. That way they can charge an extra three bucks for the fanciness.

And the menu doesn't show the price like:

Cheeseburger £13

Instead you get:

Cheeseburger 13

So cool and minimalist.

Reminds me of that one joke from What Men Think About.

"In our restaurant, dry bread is called a crouton. It is still the same piece of slightly fried bread, but dry bread cannot cost 8 dollars, whereas a crouton can."
