Well, here is a gourmet restaurant serving burgers:

From the point of a user, when I am about driving with my wife and we want to 
stop
for a nice lunch, I search for cafes and restaurants somewhat nearby. If we 
drive 10
Km to end up at a McDonals-like place we will be disappointed.

If it is a gastropub selling burgers and french fries with a glass of wine or 
beer we
will be happy.
