Just got back from Dallas, had a great burger at the Rodeo Goat. They're in the Top 10 on TA for Dallas and they have a great burger menu, plus they'll sub any of their burgers for turkey AND they have a great beer selection. Everything you could want, basically.

I was in Vegas over the weekend and had an awesome burger at Michael Mina 's restaurant. ..Pub 1842.
I know it sounds weird but was amazing. It had peanut butter, potato chips, pimento cheese and onion jam.
Sorry about the sideways pic.

Still my favorite burger is Kuma's Corner in Chicago. This place is a bar with approximately 10 additional tables with screaming loud head-banger music. They open at 11:00 most days and people (of every age group) start lining up for their burgers at 10:00 a.m. We usually plan a mid-week trip and go about 2:00 p.m. **This place is rated one of the top 10 burgers in the United States.

If you don't want to wait in line, head about 3.5 hours south and hit the Indy outpost of Kuma's. I've had both and while the Chicago atmosphere can't be easily replicated, the food was just as expected without an insane wait. The Ghost burger they had a few weeks back was one of the best I've ever had.

Is the Kuma's Schaumburg equal in food quality to the Belmont Ave and Indy locations? What about the wait there?

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (from the Secret Menu)
Rather than being sandwiched between two regular buns, this four-patty burger is held together by two grilled cheese sandwiches.

You'll have to make a trip to Southern Ontario or Central Alberta.

If I am interpreting the relationships between sandwiches described on the "Secret Menu" page correctly, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse only has 2 burger patties. The other two alternating "layers" are panko-breaded/fried portobello mushroom caps (two of "The Option" from the main menu).

Regardless of exact composition, the layer count and "buns" are most impressive. Now to figure out a justification for a trip to Alberta or Ontario.

Went to Indy's Kuma's Corner yesterday...had the goat cheese one. Meh, but I dug the pretzel bun idea. Decent frites, too.

Burger lovers traveling to Pittsburgh need to check out Burgatory. Great rare elk burger there today. The Napa slaw was also delicious. ^

Speaking of Pittsburgh, the Pub Burger at Meat & Potatoes is incredible:

pastrami pork belly / horseradish cheddar / fried egg / special sauce / housemade bun
