A Hamburger Today
You Buy, I'll Fly
Some of you might recall an ad campaign a few years ago -- was it for Burger King? -- in which a couple of Gen X slacker guys are sitting around, watching TV or playing video games when one of them is like, "Burgers! You fly, I'll buy."
Well, this story gives new meaning to that phrase while turning it on its ear. Twice a week, an 80-year-old pilot in Cleveland flies his buddies to acclaimed diners in neighbor states to eat lunch.
The pilot, Roger Levering, and his pals call it the "$100 hamburger lunch," for an obvious reason: While the burgers might cost a few bucks, the fuel to get there jacks the price, well, sky high.
