You can't put a price on nostalgia..especially when it comes to food. My grandmother's banana pudding with Vanilla Wafers made in an old Depression glass bowl that, I swear to God, somehow enhanced the flavor....a Theta Burger from the old, now closed, Split-T in Oklahoma City, etc. I'd gladly pay plenty of bucks to experience either one again.

Loved the story, and I think anything that can make you feel like a kid again is worth whatever you feel you can afford.

i'd pay $20 for a burger that tastes the same as when i was a kid. great story, carey!

i was there for 4th of july weekend visiting from cincinnati. my brother works on the island, and mentioned that there really want anywhere to get a good burger aside from the snack bar at the beach. dammit, i wish i had made the trek over there. still had some awesome grilled burgers though.

I won't quibble with $4.50 for the burger, but $0.50 for a couple of lettuce leaves and a slice of tomato? Why don't they just grab you by the ankles and shake you upside down for the change that might fall out of your pockets?

Having grown up in MA, and spending endless summers on the Cape, and on Nantucket, I can honestly say that EVERYTHING tastes better at the beach. That salt air makes you so hungry. I remember the smell of those burgers wafting over the seabreeze. It smelled like heaven.

Looks like I've stepped into a hornet's nest but truly most of you are confirming my point. First off even when the Sonics were in town, and I was a rabid fan, I didn't buy beer at the arena. I also think it is incumbent on "Mom and Pop" to keep their product well priced and value for the dollar if they want to stay in business. If they don't deliver the goods, why should I be called upon to subsidize them?
I respect the mother for making an effort to provide the turkey sandwiches and strawberries for the family so they could afford to spend time at the upscale beaches without breaking the bank for lunch. Notice mom and dad didn't join Carey for lunch.
If you want to see the burger I've referred to go to Dick's and scroll down about half the page. Then go here to learn what they do with all the excess money after they've sold you a $2.50 burger.
Shall we talk about expensive venues? Seattle is the home of Microsoft and some of the richest burger eaters on earth and you can never visit visit Dick's without standing in line, never.

johned...you totally unknowingly probably just made czken a little sad...the Sonics just moved to Oklahoma last year!!!

@czken , in order to keep mom and pop places like this open, to keep the quality high , you should be willing to pay 5 bucks for the taste of childhood and in this case an amazing tasty burger. Do you expect Carey to tromp on over to Mcdonalds (where he lost the taste for burgers in the first place?) or to Dicks? when he wanted a certain one? the point isnt the price, its the place. and it looked well worth it.

@czken: I don't know if I agree. I live in Boston, and know from personal experience that Massachusetts is an expensive state, let alone Nantucket. The cafeteria in my office building charges $4.00 for a cheeseburger that doesn't look much different than that one, and we're out in the suburbs. At a certain point, you're paying for real estate and convenience. Miller Lite at the Celtics game runs you like $6. Nachos are like $9. A cheeseburger for $5 right next to the beach in Nantucket sounds like a good deal, I think. They could probably charge more and people would still pay it. What's a beer cost at a Sonics game?

Milk is $8 a gallon on Nantucket. $5 is not bad considering...

@archbelly: Agreed! Something Natural is phenomenal, largely because of their oatmeal (and Portuguese, and whole wheat...) bread. Though that sandwich is a toss-up with this one.

Much as I love burgers, Nantucket is the home of the best sandwiches on Earth: namely Something Natrual's smoked turkey with well-done bacon, mustard, mayo, sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and potato chips on oatmeal bread. Although that will put you out about $20.
