A Burger is a ready made hamburger that can be eaten as found or built up with extra fillings. It is a filling, tasty meal that also cheers the character up. A burger weighs only 0.3, so it is easy to carry.

Burgers spoil within a few days, so they are best eaten early. They are found in restaurant displays, fast food kitchens and store fridges all over town. A cook can also build a burger from a Hamburger Bun and almost any cooked meat, egg or vegetable. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.

Eating


A found Burger lowers hunger by 25 and lowers unhappiness by 10. It holds 440 calories, with 25 grams of protein and 37 grams of fat. That makes it a good meal for keeping body weight up.

A home made burger starts from a bun. Its base lowers hunger by 20 and unhappiness by 10 before any filling is added. Each filling then adds its own hunger and calories on top.

A Burrito is the nearest fast food match. A found burrito also lowers hunger by 25 and unhappiness by 10, but holds 500 calories. Either one is a solid meal while the food is still fresh.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking


A burger is built as an evolved recipe on a Hamburger Bun. The bun takes up to 4 fillings, plus condiments and spices. Frozen ingredients cannot go in. A found Burger can also take up to 2 extra fillings.

Raw meats must be cooked before they go in. A cooked Turkey Wing adds 25 hunger and a Turkey Fillet 20. Ground Beef, a Beef Patty, Pork or Sausage each add 10. Egg (Scrambled) or an Omelette adds 20 and Fried Chicken 15. Canned Spaghetti Bolognese and Canned Corned Beef add 12 each. Lettuce, Tomato, Cheese and Onion add a little each.

Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonnaise, Barbecue Sauce, a Pickle and other condiments add 1 or 2 hunger each. The Cooking skill makes every filling count for more.

Recipes


Burger takes up to 4 ingredients. It can also start from a Hamburger Bun. Every ingredient the game allows is listed with the hunger it restores, one kind of food per tab.

Locations


Burgers are a common find in the first days. Restaurant displays in cafeterias, dining rooms and Spiffo's kitchens always hold one. Burger joint and restaurant displays hold one most of the time. Spiffo's bins turn one up a little less than half the time.

Fridges in living rooms hold a burger about one time in three. Fridges at Gigamart, grocery stores, gas stations, corner stores, Zippee stores and general stores hold one a little less often. Pharmacy fridges and survivor safehouse fridges turn one up now and then.
