Splitz Grill in Whistler, BC. No contest.

I make it my mission to find the best burger everywhere I go but far and away, the #1, absolute best burger in the world is Splitz Grill in Whistler, BC (there is also a location in Vancouver). Make sure you get the Splitz sauce!

A reasonably close runner up would be The Red Onion, also in Vancouver.

Kumas Corner - nothing comes close.

http://www.kumascorner.com/

When I've conducted a survey at some of the best restaurants in Chicago, Kumas was the chefs' unanimous choice. I humbly agree with them

Although Langford and Hubcap do have great burgers, my favorite is Christian's Tailgate in Houston. The one on Washington Avenue.

The lamb cheeseburger at La Bonne Soupe on 55th Street in New York City is right up there. It's topped with Gruyere cheese and served with excellent fries.



If we're talking beef burgers, I really like The Counter in Times Square again in New York City. It's really reasonably priced for New York and you can pick from a ton of toppings. I did a third pound burger last time with blue cheese, au jus and cucumbers and it was phenomenal. Plus, their Parmesan fries are great.



You can see the burgers my friends had in the background and the toppings on theirs.

To kick-off this topic, the best burger I had so far: The M-Burger in Chicago http://www.mburgerchicago.com/
Very tasteful and contains bacon, cheese and a secret M-Burger sauce sold at 4 locations across the city.
On their facebook-page they also publish a monthly secret menu with a pumpkin-shake on it right now.

So, what's your favorite burger in the world?
I do love MBurger.

For similar type burgers, I also love Five Guys and, to a lesser extent, Shake Shack

Rare in NYC

Another great place for burgers is Rare in NYC, the restaurant/bar at the Hilton Fashion District on 26th st near 7th ave in Chelsea. Service is great as well and I love their fries.

They also give you a few small bowls with different types of ketchups and mustards.

La Nourriture Abominable Que Vous Ne Devriez Pas Manger
(ordering that will get you pretty much anything on the menu in either McDonald's or Burger King)
