Had a really tasty one at P.J. Clarke's in New York earlier this month and the atmosphere made it even better.
Just wish it wasn't $18

The three best burgers I have had were not in North America listed in no order:
Burger Mania Hiroo, Tokyo Japan
Moaburger, Krakow Poland
Village Burger, Waimea Hawaii USA
All three have simple local menus where the star of the meal is the protein.

Speaking of New Zealand, we just had a new place in Durham open up called Burger Bach which is a New Zealand inspired gastropub. I went for lunch today and I was really impressed: http://theburgerbach.com/

Glad that at least one person put in a mention of the Awful x 2 burger in that terrible casino in Reno. Not technically "the best" burger I've ever had, but when it comes to size (half pound of meat + 1 pound of fries), cost ($6.50!) and taste (very rich interplay of cheese, sauce, meat) it's definitely second to none.
Here are some other honorable mentions that I've had in the US:
- Father's Office Burger - Santa Monica
- White Label Burger at Ai Fiori - NYC
- Black Label Burger at Minetta Tavern - NYC
- David Burke Primehouse Burger - Chicago

Looks great.^
Yes, I think you're right about that. A hangi at your table would be pretty novel way to do NZ food.
