The 20 hamburgers you must eat before you die


M

Well, he missed the "Double Double" as well as it's "insider" variants at In 'N Out, and he was too late for the chili burger at the sorely missed Gooey Louie's in West LA, CA. The Cap'n

He also missed the burgers at Mo Betta Bigga Burger in LA. It's near the airport....no substitutes....don't ask....really....

One of my favorites has been Tommys on Rampart and Beverly in Los Angeles, took my daughter there last weekend for her first time. Great Chili Burgers.

What no IN N OUT or Tommy's? Mine as well include all the foo foo places like IL Fornaio Burger (if it exists). And whats with the Food Network competition saying the best burgers must have Blue Cheese or Feta on them to make thm spark.....F'n GROSS!!!

ROAD TRIP!!!!

And hey! One is in Napa and one is in SF. I can get to those! Guess what I'll be eating next weekend? Thanks!

I have Been to #20 about 20min from my house...... Good Burgers they cook them in a vertical position both sides at the same time.

When I take my trip to CA....I will eat at a In N Out Burger.

WOO HOO!!!!

saturday morning we are loading up the minivan and heading to newport, RI for a week. gonna have to try:

3. Not Just a Burger
Spiced Pear Restaurant at the Chanler Hotel
Newport, RI

i will post pics after i get back for mcmark....

be sure to take your potato friend with you.

Persoally I enjoy burgers from Fuddruckers and a place local to the DC area called Five Guys.

place in Lubbock should have made the list: it's called Spanky's and their specialty is a 1/2 lb (3 patties) "HE-man woman hater" with bacon, cheddar, swiss, and beer-batter onion rings... you have to sqish the crap out of it to take a bite!


I'll have to find the one they mention in Dallas... I think it's near downtown...

Wayne,

Just drive down Harry Hines.. It's on the east side of the road.......


Great burgers, and lots of entertainment watching the (ahem) self-employed (ahem) women walking around advertising.



Suprised they didn't mention Kincaids Grocery in Ft. Worth. Voted best hamburger in the Metroplex for 5 years running.

great, a burger place with a side of prostitutes...

"I'll have the crack-whore fries with the VD burger and a toothless BJ shake... "

I cry BULLSHIT..... one the best in the country right here in Akron Ohio.

Swenson's Galley Boy. I can eat those every day for B / L/ D

Here in Memphis we have a little local chain called Huey's that has killer burgers, it is one that if you are ever in town you just got to try one.

I remember Murder Burger ("so good it's to die for") in Davis CA having very yummy burgers.

--DD

In & Out is probably the best unmolested pure burger you can find.

I love Tommy burger too!! Chili burger....

i remember a place in Houston called Rosnofski's (sp?) i ate quite a few Double/Double's at that place in the 80's

We have 2 places here that have really good burgers. One is local only called John's Burgers and are voted best on the county every year. The other one some of you may have is called MIMI's. It's a quasi cajun sort of place that has one called the FRENCH burger. Man it is gooood...

Murder burger is now Redrum burger (changed ownership, then got sued or something and had to change the name) and there is one in Rocklin also. But the last couple times I was there I noticed the quality has gone down considerably, especially at the Rocklin location.

I miss having a good old fashioned A&W burger. It's a shame they went out of business.

the A&W rootbeer folks? They teamed up with (gasp) KFC....wait do you all have Kentucky Fried Chicken out there?

I remember going to Tommy Burgers in Glendale when in college. You had to have a strong stomach for all that chili

I liked Fuddruckers, even though it was a chain.

There is still a Snow White on Monterey St near Gilroy that still looks unchanged since the 60's. They have great burgers. My wife remembers going to one in the Half Moon Bay and Ukia when she was growing up. She was happy to see this one.

Mmm... .. Snow White's Diner on Hollyweird Boogervard.. what a wacky tasting tuna sandwich.

Best Burger EVER: Whataburger, Broad St. Augusta, GA.

I thought that was what Taco Bell was for.....

Funny thing about a Whataburger... they don't taste like hamburgers...



I swear! That ain't meat!

I don't do Pepsi Products, Period.

No Pepsi, No KFC, No Taco Bell, No Pizza Hut.. none! It's terrible, and made in like Nicaragua.

And yet another good reason not to eat there.

Only two things come outa Kentucky son. Steers and queers... I don't see no horns....

Aw shit he's to young to get that anyway

Tri-CoMmmMMmm means poor eating.

Warner Bros. makes a better hamburger, and Ford has it all over them on fries..

I really like the new McFillet McMignon at the Arches though.. mmm, I think McD's was bought out by Clairol, tastes alot like Aqua-Net.

If you're ever in Burbank, there is a place on Victory a block east of Buena Vista called Steve's Burgers.

They've got what's called a crazy burger that's just awesome. It's a bacon, pastrami, chili cheeseburger. Yum.

I was wearing cowboy boots the day I arrived at the Army Basic Training center at Fort Lenoard Wood, Missouri. My drill instructor went down the line and when he looked at my boots, he said " I don't have to ask where you are from." and he repeated that line about steers and queers, but he referred to Texas. I just looked at him and said "MOOOOOO!".


Needless to say, I spent about an hour trying to push the ground downward.

Another place in DC area is The Little Tavern. They have the miniburgers like White Castle.
