I second that. they grind their own meat - a mixture of brisket chuck and short rib. its blasphemous to put anything on it.

I've been thinking of this thread during my trip to NYC. My verdict:
Shake Shack: Awesome burger with cheese, but the bun is just so sweet that it's unpleasant to my European taste buds. Expectation fail
De Santos: NYC Brunch place with "unlimited" champagne cocktails (until you finish their champagne - oops) does a really phenomenal burger. The best I've had in the last year. High quality, done medium rare, full of flavour.

My wife says Buckhorn in Downtown Napa has the best burgers @ $6.99
I go once a month to Phylises ( sp ) in Novato for a mushroom burger. Its good! with a retired friend of mine. We have been in more burger joints than the average person.
And, as several folks have mentioned, I cook a good burger myself!
Cheers!

Hands down Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ

Flame-broiled. Delicious. Maybe my flight home from ATL will divert quickly so I can grab one

IMO, veggies have no place on a burger. Start with the basics, meat, cheese and bun. If anything is added to this, it must not be healthy, it must contribute to clogging your arteries. More cheese? Heck yeah. Chili? Bring it on. Tomato? No way. Pickle? Evil!
