to be the devils advocate - you're creating an artificial demand that is likely not there at all.
How many burgers do you need to eat there and pay with sats that the investment from the business into figuring out how to accept bitcoin, do taxes etc. Will you keep going there weekly for months or years to make that viable? will they net benefited out of this or will this be just another "orange pill" story where in the end you bought couple burgers and maybe one other customer once a year pays with bitcoin, leaving the business owner for the worse, making him tell all his friends that it was a waste of time?
I think anytime you can casually mention Bitcoin to folks and it isn't related to investment or speculation it is a good thing. I agree with you it is artificial demand but I am sure if the business starts accepting bitcoin and the food is good the OP and their friends will dine their frequently.

Sure, bitcoiners don't speculate, don't even look at the price, just teach, learn, share and have fun 🤠🍻

One of my favourite days on SN was a couple months ago when price ripped from 39k to 43k or something like that and we were all still shooting the shit about everything else. Not one person mentioned the price was up 10%.
I am sure we are all guilty of looking at the price too often and speculating where it will go but I think broadly Bitcoiners (at least on SN) know what they own and are confident in it and don't spend too much time talking about price. Unless of course we are betting on when it will hit 100k so the Snail can stop posting snails.

They are located next to my house, obviously if we like the burger and they accept bitcoin both me and my friends will be regular customers
