I Found the Best Burger Place in America, Then I Killed It
People are lemmings.<p>Franklin's BBQ in Austin has hours long lines.  It's very good brisket.<p>The hill country of Texas is FILLED with equally good brisket joints that don't have lines.<p>People who wait in line for 4 hours won't admit this.  Cognitive dissonance kicks in, and Franklin's is unique and better than everyone else in their minds.  Try telling a person that their Bose headphones are overpriced and overrated, and you will see this in action.<p>Lists are indeed stupid, but only because people aren't rational decision makers.
