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
