Members BHz_econo Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 So the best part of the other thread was the burger talk. I was completely surprised with the smokehouse burger at Cheesecake Factory. They actually cooked it medium and it was sooooo good. Most burger joints have been a big let down lately... Red Robin, 5 guys, etc. Tell me some great chain burgers to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 Good burgers are the best thing ever. We went to Edinburgh for our wedding anniversary last month and ate here: Holyrood 9AAbsolutely the finest burger I have ever eaten in my life. Probably not much use to you on the wrong continent though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueboxer Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 This 50's style burger joint in Merrimac, MA has classic car shows all the time and the burgers are awesome. Skip's Snack Bar. They're the thin type and they serve "suzie Q fries" which are the curly shoestring variety. Found a pic online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 Five Guys isn't anything special unfortunately. There's a few burgers up this way that I've really dug lately:The Greek Tycoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members El Gallo Negro Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 California chain so far, but I think there may be one in NYC-- Umami Burger. Outrageously delicious {censored}ing burgers. Much of it strays into foodie-land-- heavy use of truffles in their oil and cheese and some other unorthodox stuff (Korean galbi burger, etc), but all of it is flat-out amazing. Hit it if you can.

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 In-N-Out of course... Johnny Rockets isn't bad either. I was kind of disappointed with 5 Guys when I finally had one. Seemed kind of over-rated to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jnichols2727 Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 At the restaurant I run we have a house made 8 oz burger that's insane. The meat is a combination of ground NY strip and ground short rib. Served on a brioche roll with provolone, bacon and black truffle aioli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 I like most hamburgers, from the Whopper Jr to your local BEST BURGERS EVAR!!!!11!! mom & pop's.For chains, yeah, Culver's is good. 5 guys won't blow your mind, but they are tasty. It's one of those things where it kinda depends on the cook that day. Maybe they know what they're doing or they don't. My favorite local place for burgers is my buddies bar, The Sinking Ship. They have several topping configurations for their standard patties, then there's a build your own section where you can add stuff like blue chese crumbles and fried eggs. They also have stuffed burgers. One is bacon/blue, one is jalepeno cheddar, then with another they grind up corned beef and put kraut/cheese/1000 island inside. Rueben burger. It's really good. With another they grind up chicken breast and put in ham/cheese for a cordon bleu burger. This thread came on the perfect day because Monday they're all half priced, so I can get a 1/2 lb stuffed one w/ fries (which they make fresh from potatoes there) for $6. I already was planning to go, but this thread made me look forward to it just a little bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members placebo62 Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 My current favourite is at NSHRY in Albert Park. It's hard to get a great burger in Australia, but this take on the Umami burger is tits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TravvyBear Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 As far as chains go, I like Whataburger a lot. I also like a quarter pounder with cheese from McDonalds. Checkers makes some great burgers too. There is a place around here called Tops that makes awesome burgers too, though they're VERY greasy. I haven't seen another Tops anywhere.

Members blueboxer Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 For fast food burgers I do like an all the way with hot sauce and maybe jalapenos at 5 guys. Then there's always this, the McGangBang. I only sink to this level once in a great while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members the_bleeding Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 Ottawa: Hintonburger They have recently gone downhill though... mainly the fries. Order a Hintonburger with the works. Downtown Toronto: Dangerous Dan's They're a good dirty burger. I normally get the "Cowboy Burger" which isn't on the website, it has jack cheese and baked beans. I do enjoy Five Guy's quite a bit. Again, I just get the works on it. Choosing my own toppings always makes them taste like crap. All my friends who havent enjoyed Five guys have tried to put on their own toppings, and I'm always just like maaan, get the works and be done.

Members Mistersuperfly Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 We've gone this far and nobody has uttered in-n-out? wow...Not to say that it's the best, I'm more a fan of restaurant style burgers, but they are pretty damn good. Here in Nashville we have two or three pretty damn amazing burger joints, Burger Up is the first, I haven't been in a while because I felt like with their rise popularity their quality fell, but from what I hear it's back up there again. The Pharmacy and Gabbi's are the other two, all of these are local beef/bread/cheese places that kick all kinds of ass and know how to cook a burger. To be honest though? The mini-burgers at the speakeasy bar that I work at are my favorite, Waygu short rib ground daily and cooked no more than medium with thick cut Benton's bacon, local smoked Cheddar, locally sourced potato buns that are brought in daily and house made aioli. And when they're in season we throw some heirloom tomato on there too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 Burgh'ers, my favorite Burger joint. Great fries, awesome all organic burgers made with many fresh local ingredients. My favorites are the Polish Hill (pierogie,caramelized onions, cheddar), the Morning Side (egg, bacon, american cheese), and the Animal (cream cheese, tomato, jalapenos, basil, onion).
