Default Miller High-Life Ad: $11.50 is not a lot for a burger & this commercial STILL makes no sense.

Not around here. The Sidetrack in Ypsilanti, MI, does a very good
burger
for $5.25. Here's some info from their web site:

Our Famous Burger (As seen on the Oprah Show)...1/3 lb...$5.25
Hand Rolled and Fresh Ground Daily...Add 2.00 to make Jesse's Half
Pounder

* Burger Deluxe with Hand cut Fries...$7.25
Served with lettuce and tomato...(w/ sweet potato fries...add 1.00)

I don't care much about Oprah's endorsement, but GQ listed it among
"The 20 Hamburgers You Must Eat Before You Die", for what it's worth.

I know it's the only burger I'll eat that wasn't prepared by my own
hands.
Except for Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger (Ann Arbor, MI), which is a whole
'nother thing.
