Just had a Red Mill burger in Seattle last week, and it was pretty awesome. :)
|
My signature burger that I cook at home. Simple and amazing and better than anything I've had in a restaurant.
|
A shout out for Zippy's in Seattle... Zippys also forces you into trailer park sides like onion rings and french fries. It's great that drive-thrus used these sides as they were the cheapest thing they could serve. With the standard of living in the US, there's no reason why people should be chained to these. |
does a panino count? :)

1) The "Super Sandwich", a Russian-run sandwich bar near "Silicon Roundabout" in London, now sadly gone due to being situated in a building earmarked for development that mysteriously caught fire one night. They did wonderful, tiny, peppery beefburgers (rare, if you asked!) with a mix of cheese and spices in a (not flattened, lightly toasted) panini. An old favourite. 2) A late night sandwicherie in Strasbourg (I think it's now just a Pomme de Pain). Used to do (always rare) steack haché frites, all in a baguette. Ultimate junk food :) |

If the burger was really good, you wouldn't need all of that other crap on there. It all just takes away from the taste of the meat.

Truffle Love Burger from Lunchbox Laboratory in Seattle.
They aren't quite as good since Scott Simpson (may he rest in peace) sold the place, but Lunchbox still makes some badass burgers. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._8284285_n.jpg |

Where in Germany and what style? Germany is known for lot's of things - curry wurst, gluhwein, lebkuchen, brats, beer, etc - but, regardless of the Hamburg history, I've never heard anyone make reference to German hamburgers as being a specialty of the country. I live here and I won't eat them, but then again that's just me. Most people in my village eat fricadelles or fleischkase in a brotchen instead of hamburgers, but that could be a regional thing. I won't eat pommes with mayonaisse either.

Food Standards Agency I guess we all have a different view of risk .......

The places I go for a med rare burger are making it to order so no hold time.
Just like anyone who enjoys sushi or other raw/undercooked items, one has to have faith that the restaurant is using high quality vendors/supplies. I think my faith may be a bit stronger than the usual consumer:D |

What sort of sides would you enjoy with your burger? I can't think of anything better than fresh thin onion rings.
My dad grew up in New England and refers to the sandwich as a "Hamburg". So did a friend from Erie, Pennsylvania. I love to hear the different regional names for food items, i.e., soda/pop/coke; milkshake/frappe; grinders/hoagies/subs, etc. I was surprised when I ordered a hamburger in Sydney and it had a fried egg on it. Different that what I am used to, but good. |
The best burger I've had was at Slater's 50/50 in LA. There's a few locations (mostly in OC) but they just built one in Pasadena
The 50/50 patty, which they are known for, is made up of 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon. From there, you can dress it any way you want. They have custom burgers or a build your own. Furthermore, if you are a bacon person, they have lots of bacon options.. Bacon Ketchup Baconaiise Bacon Milkshakes Bacon Bourbon etc. My co worker buddy swears on Golden State Cafe but I have yet to try it. The last time I tried to eat there, I got caught up in traffic as there was a big event nearby. For a fast food burger, I like In n Out fine enough (animal style) but I would agree that Five Guys is better overall. |
Fuddruckers!!

The Gold Standard at Holsten inside The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas was one of my best; didn't hurt that it was free after paying with Identity points...

In Philly we have lots of great burger options which makes it tough to find others I like out of town-500 is my go to burger joint and then if fancy, go for Kobe sliders at Barclay Prime.

Kumas corner in Chicago! Get there early...and enjoy a cool atmosphere and one of the best burgers ever. Pretzel buns, great fries and some pretty funky topping combos.
I'm heading to ATL next week so will try out Ann's...Ghetto Burger sounds right up my alley. Another vote for Kuma's! I've had a lot of burgers in my day, and Kuma's is the clear winner in my opinion. |
