Not really. Given the burger bar's stated aim to be as unhealthy as humanly possible, their burgers clearly come from grainfed cattle, not wild game , such as found in the Palaeolithic era. Plus, there's the frying in oils  and the french fries of the Heart Attack Grill , which also were not part of palaeo traditions.Then there's the huge amount of lard in which all the burgers were soaked in :- lard is also often treated with bleaching and deodorizing agents, emulsifiers, and antioxidants, such as BHT. If, as is highly likely, the lard  is also hydrogenated lard, then the lard will have very unhealthy trans-fats in it, too. Mind you, given the multitude of studies on the harm done by cooked animal foods, I suspect that even if they were all preservative-/chemical-free etc;, the cooked burgers would still cause some harm.
