Figure $2 for a single patty (I don't know the ounces, but it's big
enough for me) and you can tell them to pile the toppings (lettuce,
onion, tomato) on for free. My usual is a "double single" with extra
toppings. At minimum I double the onion (these are slices, not rings
or chopped), because I love raw onion on a burger.

I think most people try to make chains like 5 Guys and In N Out into
something they are not. They are *fast food*, not gourmet burgers.
If I want a gourmet burger, I go to a sit down restaurant with a real
grill (wood or lump coal fire) to cook them on.
