Favorite Burger Joints?

[texas blues]

I am a burger freak as well as a foodie in general. I grew up on Whataburger(used to be able to get whole jalapeno's on the side) but haven't had one in years. Over at Hamburger Today they have alot of devotee's of In-N-Out Burger. I had a trip to Las Vegas and my gal and I stopped in one of these joints just off strip. Place was packed and lined up out the door. While I found the cheeseburger way better than the other joints like BK, McD's, Wendy's etc. I wasn't that knocked out and don't understand all the hoolah balooh. Same same for the Phatburger joint down the way. What's your fav and why?
I know imaguitargod eats heaps of burgers so has to have an opinion. What say you?

BTW..my fav burger blogger TexasBurgerGuy has been MIA as of late. Anyone heard about him and what's up? Thanks.

[xgrafcorex]

around my area we have a place called lindburgers. its not the best burger in the world, but they certianly have a lot of variety! i think they have about 40 different types of burgers to choose from! i've never seen so many options.

as far as fast food type places go..my favorite is a place called andy's. they don't have them down here that i know of..but i worked at two when i lived in north carolina. i guess part of the reason i liked their burgers a lot was that i made my own to my specification. :D extra beef, extra bacon, cheese, jalapenos, onions, garlic salt and pepper, on a toasted bun. mmmmmmm :drooling:

[Sickmont]

I'm gonna have to to a three-way-tie....
1.)Duffy's tavern on Anna Maria Island
2.)Skinny's about a mile away from Duffy's(and they have dollar mugs of bud draught!)
3.) The Biff Burger in St. Petersburg(oldest burger joint on the west coast of florida....built in the mid 50's and hasn't changed much since!)
Anybody comes to this side of Florida while i'm still here and i'll take ya out these places.

[chuk hell]

Thanks for the tip about the Texas Burger Guy blog. I love food blogs!


I've been looking for the best burger in South Austin and haven't found it yet. I tried Red Robin ( a chain) recently and was disappointed to find out that their patties are 6 oz. max. I ordered the double one and it was pretty good but not great. It was a fun place to eat though..they have cocktails and stuff...and real good onion rings.

If you're coming to Austin soon there's a bar on 6th Street, Casino El Camino, that used to make the best burger in town...I say used to because I haven't been there in some time..they still might. It's a good bar to check out regardless.

The best fast food chain I've found is Culvers. They actually make a surprisingly tasty burger for a fast food place..really good. My only "beef" is the one near me seems to employ only teenie boppers and they are 2 for 1 at screwing up my order. After getting home with what was supposed to be a fully dressed deluxe jumbo burger to find only a slab of meat and two pieces of bread I almost gave up on them...but I've been back; I just carefully check my order before leaving the premises. They have good onion rings too and great frozen custard treats.


Has anyone tried Fudruckers lately? Someone suggested them saying they make ( big) burgers to order.

We recently got "5 guys burgers and fries" here in Charlotte and what a terrfic disappointment they were. I figure if your only decor is headlines about how great your food is, it better be out of this world. Though you are allowed to build your own, nothing stood out at all, Bummed.

Have had a real big and tasty burger at Ruby Tuesday's. It's the "monster burger" or something like that. BIG! Enjoyed it.

[DevilDuck]

My favorite burger is Snuffer's. Unfortunately, they're only in the Dallas, TX area.

huh...my only problem with 5 Guys is the price. I think they make a decent burger. I'm also partial to Johnny Rockets, but I haven't seen one since 2001 when I was in Cincinnati.

[BigDawg]

Hey chuk, not familiar with any Austin burger places, would like to try that one in Houston that is like located under a highway overpass, has all types like buffalo etc....suppose to be really good, been on food network!

Hey DD will have to try snuffers, use to eat at the Feedbag in Dallas was awesome, but not sure if still around.

As far as burger chains hard to beat a jalapeno double cheese from whataburger just something I have always grown up with.

[DevilDuck]

The Feedbag!!! I forgot about that place.

We have a fairly new 5 Guys here in Jacksonville, and I too was a little disappointed in the food. The fries were heavy and soggy. I expected a great burger with all the critic's reviews that they had quoted. The burger was only average - a step above McD's or BK, but a couple steps above in price.

I do like In-N-Out burgers, but I only have a chance to eat them when I'm in CA. They have a great taste and plenty of juice and grease. I think a burger needs some grease for flavor, I hate a dry burger.

AMEN to grease. Just hate it when someplace advertises using lower fat meat for their burgers. For me it just reads "dry"! I use 80/20 for burgers at home and add parmesian cheese to the meat to fll in for the juices it loses while cooking. Always juicy!!!

[Shooty*]

We have McDonalds and Boiga king (correct Brooklyn pronunciation, I'm informed) over here, and that's about it.

Except TGI Fridays and pubs/ restaurants that do them, but that's not a chain as such.

I thought they went out of business. Or were going out or something like that. Maybe i heard wrong. I used to enjoy going there alot when i lived in Atlanta, but i haven't seen one in Florida at all yet.

Mr. D's..!!!! good stuff there..:)

I heard that place was killer!!
I'm going to have to stop in there while driving up to NYC sometime.

[imaguitargod]

I know imaguitargod eats heaps of burgers so has to have an opinion. What say you?
I usually like to cook my own, that way I can marinate it in anything I want. But as far as burger joints go, here's my list.

-Fuddruckers (http://www.fuddruckers.com/)-after all, they do toat their burgers are the world's greatest.

-Gordon Biersch (http://www.gordonbiersch.com/)-their burger quality varies greatly, but usually it's awesome. Thick, juicy patties on nicely risen buns, with mayo to die for. Plus you can get pepper jack cheese instead of American.

Fast Food Places:
-McDonalds- Yes yes, I know their fast food usually is crap, but I just went to New Mexico wher I purchased a Green Chili Double Cheese Burger :shocked:

- Carl's Jr- They have a five dollar burger that's decent.

-Rallies- They must put some sort of crack in their burgers because I was sooo addicted to them about 8 years ago.

[texas blues]

IGG...being a CA guy and all, I would have thought you would be a big In-N-Out fan. (No not THAT in and out) When I was up in Alaska, there was a Carls Jr. that was okay. So many of the big joints as mentioned, lack the grease factor and tend to be bland and dry. Most of the good burgers round here close to Seattle are the mom and pop joints. I'll be moving in the next 3 weeks to Las Vegas and I'll be a hop and a skip from a joint called the Bobcat Bite which from what I have read is the shizet for green chili burgers. I can't wait. My pepper plants should do better down there too!! Ahhhh..sigh..pequins.

Ya, most people are chocked when I say I really don't like In-N-Out. Their burgers just don't do it for me for some reason.

[texas blues]

Up here Seattle way we have Dicks Drive In, Red Mill and the original Red Robin. Red Mill I haven't had yet. Dick's has great onion rings and shakes, better burger than the other big chains. Red Robin gets "the finger" as I have never had a meal worth the dough and the service was horrible. I only have gone to RR because my gal likes them.

What! No White Castle maniacs out there?

No White Castles here in Florida. We do have Krystals which are basically the same thing. Krystals are great at around 2am. More than once (in my younger days) I have fallen asleep in my car waiting in the Krystals drive thru.

[Uncle Big]

Up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, uniquely yummy burgers at "The Burger Inn" on Mcleod Trail.
They have your regular thick beef sirloin burgers, really fresh buns, lettuce, pickles, peppers, whatever you want. They are made to order. Hellagood fries too.
Cool thing is they have bison, ostrich, turkey, and at certain times of the year I think they have rabbit and even alligator.
The gator burgers are really expensive, but up here, it's as close as you get to a real gator, unless you go to the zoo.
They don't let you eat the ones at the zoo, even if you attempt to wrestle one yourself :-(

[Cap'n Bones]

Takes a brave man to wrestle a gator in his underwear!!

[Cap'n Bones]

If I had to pick a local chain burger, it would be 5 Guys. At least they offer Jalapenos and Cajun fries...Buffalo Wild Wings has a decent Black-n-Bleu burger, and you can get a BEER with it!
Krystal burgers are my classic favorite, spent tons of $$ there back in my days of delusion scarfing down munchies! Unfortunately not one to be found in my area now. Of course it might tempt me to re-live my youth. Heh heh!
A small beachside joint that has great burgers is a place called "John's Drive-in" located on the beach road in Kitty Hawk NC. It's a small little roadside walk-up place that's only open during the summer months. Everything they serve is Great!!!

[Uncle Big]

Less for the gator to grab on to Cap'n!! :lol:

[texas blues]

Uncle Big, my sister has 2 gator ponds on her property in Texas. Texas Dept. of Fish and Game said she had to thin the herd a bit and issued her a permit. You guessed it. Tastes like chicken!

Cap'n that Black and Blue burger sounds pretty dang' good! I have heard a lot of folks dig the Krystal burgers.

[Hillbilly Chili]

Best burgers in the world (in my opinion) comes from my grill out back. Buffalo burger preferred.

Then when I’m trying to eat healthy I’ll slam a couple, three Mac’s from MickyDees.:shocked:

[dreamtheatervt]

Bison and Gator are really tasty. There is a bison farm 20 minutes from my house, so its a little cheaper here than it was in western PA. The cajun restaurant has gator year round and its not too expensive. Then again I'm a lot closer to Florida than Western Canada is :)

[DevilDuck]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...mmmmmmmmmmm Fried gator with a good hot sauce. Now that's some good eatin'!

[xgrafcorex]

i've never had gator before..we almost ordered some "gator bites" at this restaurant tonight, but it was 9 bucks for the appetizer so we skipped it. it was breaded too, so i guess it wouldn't be quite the same as eating just gator. i saw some live ones though. :lol:

I never tried Yak but i had a reindeer(caribou) burger once when i was at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage. It was damn good. Just cost me a frigging fortune, though. I don't care how good it is, $15.95 for just a burger is waaaaaaayyyyyyy too pricey for me.

[texas blues]

$15.95 for a carribou burger on Elmendorf? Was that at the OC Mess or NCO club? I will say I have eaten alot of 'bou and more than my share of moose. Some of the best meat on the planet IMO.
Not alot for super wombat burgers in Alaska other than the usual big chains. The so-called gourmet burgers up there are the Red Robin and TGIF'. Pretty blahseh'

It was some stupid special at the NCO club. They had to make a special buy to get the meat at the time.

[Txclosetgrower]

As far as a fast food chain goes, Backyard Burgers (http://www.backyardburgers.com/home.asp) is pretty damn good. Best burger you can get for the price, the combo meals cost the same as you'd pay at a mcD's or wherever ($5-$7).

Not the best burger I've ever eaten, but better than most fast food.

On the way down here to LV I stopped at Carl Jrs. for a burger. I know I know its a chain but the dealio is that thier bacon cheese burger ain't bad. Onion rings, bbq sauce, cheese, bacon on a sesame seed bun. I sacrificed the soggy bacon to my aussie pup. She gave the bacon a thumbs up. The onion ring bbq cheeseburger combo actually worked as it made one forget for a moment...but just a moment that there was a semi dry mystery meat pattie in there some where. Enough of the chains. I am now on a quest for the best mom and pop burger, which even a soso one is usually better than the chains....but then I am still a loser and a sucker because I still like Whataburger. Somebody slap me please.

[imaguitargod]

Ugh, mustard!

: yack :

But the burgar looks sooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chuk hell]

Yeah, jalapeños on top ( fresh of course!) with more cheese melted over them. In the burger I used cheddar and some white cheese I had on hand...I think it was Havarti. I know the recipe said to use American, but I couldn't bring myself to buy that stuff!

These burgers were real heart-bursters. My wife and our friend could only eat half. I managed to eat mine but after that 2+ inch thick monster I needed a nap!

I cooked these on the Weber. I used an egg and a little bit of breadcrumbs in the burger as a binder to make sure they didn't come apart. One of them leaked a little cheese but overall....spectacular results!

[xgrafcorex]

that looks like a delicious burger! what exactly is a "juicy lucy"? basically just a hamburger patty with a cheese core? we haven't cooked on the grill in a while at our place...our grate is all rusted, and the propane grill is out of gas.

Well, I'm not all that big on fast food joints, but today....one actually surprised me.

Carl's Jr. Now, as far as fast food goes, it's a pretty good joint. You're more likely to catch me there instead of Dirty Ron's or Burger King.

Anyway-- I ordered the Jalapeño burger and expected a few pickled peppers on thier regular burger. What I got was a complete surprise. Actual fresh, sliced jalapeño peppers, and they didn't skimp. Pepper Jack cheese, and a spicy chipoltle mayo rounded out the burger. I actually had a nice little burn going for awhile.

So, if you like Carl's Jr.or are lucky enough to have one near you, I recommend this.

**** (four stars...for fastfood)

[texas blues]

I have been a complete failure in keeping this thread going but now have a new report. My gal came home with chix strips from 3 Angry Wives Pub the other night and I was reminded that I have been remiss in visiting that establishment. The joint has killer sliders! 4 for 7 bucks and they rock. The joint also has wings, rings and the usual apps but they really put a lot of love in the food and that is reflected in the quality. I rate them as one of my favorite joints to eat at here in Las Vegas. Cheers.

well i can now vouch for this place as well. met up with sickmont yesterday for a burger, beers, and football. the burger was really good..my only regret was not getting a bigger burger.

the dollar beers were nice too!

had a good time meeting up with you, even though tampa gave up the game at the end. if you're up in the area, hit me up and we can get some food..preferably something spicy this time. :hell:

not sure when the next time i'll be down there will be, i'll be sure to let you know though.

haha almost forgot.. was sitting there with a sign that says "cash only" right in front of my seat and with all the other stuff to look at in there, i must've looked right past it and had $0 on me. thought i was gonna have to get back there and do some dishes! :lol: fortunately, there's a bank right next door and i was able to use the ATM.

I'm more of a fried chicken kinda guy, but I can enjoy a good burger.
There's this place just a couple meters from here, and it's pretty good.
You pick the burgers by the weight, which is awesome.

wow all these burger pics are making me pretty hungry. here in Los Angeles some of the best burgers are The Bucket in LA: i literally have to use a fork to eat it. The popular burger is called the Cardiac and its literally a piece of ham, bacon, the meat patty and a huge slice of chese. you can get a double cardiac but i dare not try it..yet. lol.

For those of you coming here for the Fiery Foods Show in March, there's an old diner here called The Owl. The inside hasn't changed since it was built and has hand formed burgers. One of their specials is the Green Chile Cheeseburger. Now, it's not huge like those above, but it's good. Damn good. You can even get an ice cold beer to go along with it.

I'll be more than happy to go with anyone attending the show, or when you might be swinging by this neck of the woods....errr..desert.

3.) The Biff Burger in St. Petersburg(oldest burger joint on the west coast of florida....built in the mid 50's and hasn't changed much since!)
Anybody comes to this side of Florida while i'm still here and i'll take ya out these places.

you got an address for any of the 3, a buddy lives in Safety Harbour, just outside of Clearwater, Fl.

[Sickmont]

you got an address for any of the 3, a buddy lives in Safety Harbour, just outside of Clearwater, Fl.

The Biff is the closest to him. Here's the addy:3939 49th Street N. St Petersburg, FL.(http://www.biffburgers.com/)
Honestly, he's probably been there before....i don't think i've met anybody who's been here for more than a year and hasn't at least heard about it.


The other two are a bit further south of him(closer to me). Duffy's addy is:5808 Marina Drive, Holmes Beach, Anna Maria Island, FL (http://www.duffystavernami.com/)


and Skinny's addy is:3901 Gulf Drive
Holmes Beach, Anna Maria Island, Florida
Ths closest thing to a website they have is: http://www.floridasecrets.com/Restaurants/SW/skinnys.htm


Hope that helps.

[Sauceman]

Thanks man,
Ill pass the info on to him. Hey maybe it's like you said. He might have gone there already. He's been in that area for about 9 years now.

[chilehunter]

ok I might get some grief but this is a turkey burger I had earlier using what I had. dont get me wrong I like hamburgers too but I also like turkey burgers.

cheddar cheese (block type - leftover from thanksgiving)
sauteed onions,garlic,parsley & thyme in olive oil
chow chow topping (green/yellow stuff)

bbq sauce

All on two pieces of bread? Come on man, where's the bun???

[texas blues]

CH..I agree with Passow..that's a sandwich..not a true burger. So why do I still want to eat the damn thang'? Dude that pic is making me hungry!! Cheers, TB.

[Sickmont]

mmmmmm.....chow chow.....

[staffing]

Derf's Cafe in Santa Barbara, CA and Huey's in Memphis are the two best burger joints I've had the pleasure of frequenting. Both have jalapeno burgers of different variations.

[chilehunter]

yea yea I know its not a TRUE hamburger but it was still tasty. as for the bun deal, well is a bun not bread ? & sandwich bread still bread ? (which I dont like white bread prefer good wheat bread but it was there so I used it) so its all good IMO & with sandwich bread you can fill'er up with stuff & be able to hold them all in on w/o all the stuff falling off the sides of the burger. but to each their own.

if I had all my prefered ingredients then the burger/sandwich would be different. most of my meals are thrown together at the last moment. plus MN is huge on turkey production so turkey is plentyful around here,cheap, & tasty.

My favorite local place to have a burger is at The Star Cafe down in the Stockyards. I'm also a big fan of the Athens Burger at Love & War In Texas. One of the best burgers I've ever had was at Ed's Easy Diner in London down in Soho, I'd been in London for a week and was craving a burger so I hit up Ed's and had an awesome bacon cheeseburger.

There used to be a place in Bells, Tx that my family had been going to since the early 50s but it looks like it closed up shop 7 years ago.

If you ever find yourself out east Texas way near Lake Tawakoni you should hit up Oakley's Burgers in Quinlan. I haven't been there in going on 13 years but they had amazing burgers back in the day

[Intensity Academy]

I do like 5 Guys...I love the sauteed onions and fresh ones with peppers & BBQ sauce. I usually get it w/ everything & a fork.

Although my own turkey & Blue cheese burgers are better!

[Daisy7117]

Pappy's in Totowa,NJ....they have the best Texas chilli dogs and burgers, and fries....they're legendary. :onfire:

[AlabamaJack]

I have had burgers all over the country and the absolute best one I have ever had is Tommy's. Tommy's Hamburger Grill, Fort Worth.

[texas blues]

Daisy..I really meant that if its that great it should be NJ best chili burgers, dogs, etc. Then again...and slap me times 2 for saying so...if it ain't Texas, then it ain't chili! Is this a Texas vs. New Jersey thread? That's cool and the gang with me. You have Frank, Bruce, and Tony Soprano. We have the Alamo, Big D and the Dallas Cowboys, Mavs, Spurs, and Lightnin' Hopkins, SRV and ZZ Top. Now go home and get yer' shine box!!

I'm sorry but I had to laugh when you said this TB, since you're razzing daisy7117 about living in NJ.
on offense dude but you live in las vegas not TX & as for "we have" you have gambling,legal prostitution, cactuses & elvis impersonators :lol: not the alamo or dallas cowboys :lol::P

[texas blues]

Dude..I should clarify..Born and raised in Texas. Even when I went to Alaska I was proud to be a Texan. Due to work I am not in Texas, very true, but that's where my heart and soul is. You are very right sir on the LV take of Elvis impersonators, prostitution and the other ilk. Not my thang'. As for Daisy...I had lock..there was no danger..so I took the shot! As the resident smartass here on THP I just felt compelled. Cheers, TB.

My favorite burger is Snuffer's. Unfortunately, they're only in the Dallas, TX area.

http://www.snuffers.com/
There was a place on Greenville ave. in dallas
{cant remember the name}that was a drive up ,the pretty car hops would take your order,and bring it out to the car...they was the only place I ever went in Dallas where you could get a burger and a cold bottle beer brought to your car...very cute car hops too.
they sold alot of burgers too lol.
any of you texuns ever been to a place like this ?

How Bout Them Cowboys!
go Tony go

[chilehunter]

TB - I didnt know you were born & raised a texan. it just sounded funny to me when you said "we have" talking like you were in TX & living in las vegas.
it makes more sense now that you say that, how you worded it & that you'd love to be back in TX

hey DD,
yes that could be it, I left texas in 85 ,so im sure everything has changed.I used to stop in there for lunch breaks when in the area.
Last time I went down central xprsway,I couldnt tell where mckinney,allen,plano,and richardson city limits were,it looked like one big city,instead of the four small towns I remember.
seems like another life now.

Personally, I like it better than Kinkaids...If you can get to the one on the east side of Lake Worth right on 820 in the Texaco (i think) gas station, get a junkyard burger.......it's delicious.

[rainbowberry]

I have only ever been to McDonalds, Wimpy and Burger King. As for food it would be McDonalds, I wouldn't touch the burgers in the others as I have found gristly bits. As for best place if you take into account lack of seating, dirty tables and crap smelling toilets then Wimpy's the best. But how come in McDonalds sometimes if you don't put the 'Mc' in front of certain things you order they look at you as if you've come from a different planet?

[DevilDuck]

We need to get a fund together and bring you to the States for a real burger. Evil Ron's (McD's) has got to be the worst burger there is.

[cheezydemon]

No offense Rainbow! DD is right. I could name 10 fast food burgers that beat Mcd's right now. Not to mention the plethora of real restaraunts that offer great burgers.

Anybody watch Drive in's diners and dives on the food network? That show makes my mouth water everytime I watch it. Next time I plan a trip, I am going to check Guy's site to see where to eat! No Joke.

This place? (http://www.originaltommys.com/)

If so, then I've been there. It basically tastes like In-and-Out. Slightly arverage/above average fast food. Now their chili-fries is where it's at.

No Sir...it is a local Fort Worth place that started in a gas station and has expanded to 3 or 4 other locations. I tried to find a link, but there doesn't seem to be one.

[stillmanz]

I'm at work right now so no picture yet, (I'll put one up tonight) I'll show you a burger OZ style. I'm the Burger King round these parts lol

[elequin]

My favorite burger is Snuffer's. Unfortunately, they're only in the Dallas, TX area.

http://www.snuffers.com/

Snuffer's is good, but their burgers are kinda salty to me..

If you make it to Dallas again (any of you), try Twisted Root Burgers in Deep Ellum. Very good. Also, the Angry Dog bar in Deep Ellum makes an *excellent* burger, and very good wings. Their super-hot wings are made with Dave's Instanity sauce, and they have some heat. :)

[DevilDuck]

The Angry Dog is pretty damn good! I used to eat there before I played in a club.....usually Trees or Dada.

There's also a place in Oak Cliff called Wingfield's that's really good.

As long as we're on the subject of burgers in Dallas, Hunky's (Oak Lawn and on Bishop St. in Oak Cliff) is an awesome joint.

[stillmanz]

OK heres the biggest burger we do at my CAfe.
Its called the "Richie Burger" Named after my good mate. He's a 6 foot 4 maori with a two foot mullet and many Tatoos. He needs a burger this size.

It has all the salad, lettuce, tomatoe, beetroot and fried onion.
130 gm beef pattie double bacon, two eggs pineapple two slices of cheese and a potatoe scollap/ or cake depending on were you come from in OZ.
Its a big burger, people who like a big burger order and eat it.
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/stillmanz/24022008.jpg

not the best photo had to do it on the phone.

SO all those in OZ upforthe challenge.
it comes standard with BBQ sauce or any of my chilli sauces.

Mick

[rainbowberry]

:shocked: you need a knife and fork to eat that with. That would be enough food for a day for me. I love beetroot, I've never heard of it in a burger before.

[stillmanz]

come to Oz beetroot on burgers is mandatory.

[rainbowberry]

Is the beetroot pickled or not Stillmanz?

[stillmanz]

yep in tangy vinegerette its really good on burgers Goldencircles pickling juice is delicious http://www.aussieproducts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DDBR45 the only brand I use except we use the big A10 hospitality tins (about 3 kilo tins) we go through ten a week.
we go over 400 bread rolls a week. I'm trying to get on tv for the burgers and chilli sauce at the moment. I'm a media slut lol

Mick

[AlabamaJack]

And I thought we made things big in Texas....geez what a burger...

[billyboy]

Looks awesome stillmanz, Id eat that in one sitting no problems.

[stillmanz]

Next time your up I'll let you try it out, all the workmen go mad for them at smoko. The key to eating it is to press down firm and once you start eating you can't put it down otherwise it will explode.... lol

[billyboy]

I dont care how messy I make it:P Ill eat the lot, bloody hungry now;) I can smell that burger!

[rabbit]

AMEN to grease. Just hate it when someplace advertises using lower fat meat for their burgers. For me it just reads "dry"! I use 80/20 for burgers at home and add parmesian cheese to the meat to fll in for the juices it loses while cooking. Always juicy!!!

My venison burgers that I cook on the grill at home are my favorite and they are VERY lean. The trick is to cook them medium. When I mix up the meat I put some pepper flakes in them, mixed with worsheshire sauce, and onions. Then I cook it over a charcoal grill really slow.
Now, I know this sounds kind of wierd, but my favorite burgers that are fast food are white castles.:lol:

[ImpyChick]

This thread made me sooooo hungry for burgers! Usually I just make turkey burgers, but tonight I sprung for the real thing.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r87/impychick/IMG00038-2.jpg

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r87/impychick/IMG00042.jpg

Third pound ground sirloin with some onion soup mix mixed in, slice of provolone, 2 diced habs, & a fried egg on a wheat bun. It was quite tasty, even though I overcooked the meat a little bit. My apologies for the crappy cell phone pics, my good camera is out of commission at the moment.

[texas blues]

IC..-1 for the turkey burger...+5 for making your own and an extra + for the ground sirloin. Fried egg gets you an even score. 2 diced habs... another +5. Final score...girl you rock!!
Phone cam or not..still good pics..better than nothing.
Cheers, TB.

[chilehunter]

impychick - tasty looking burger you made.

TB - nothing wrong with turkey burgers, I bet you'd like them too if you've had them. but I also agree nothing beats a good beef burger, but turkey burgers are also good.

[rainbowberry]

I love veggies burgers.

[stillmanz]

Veggie burgers...a chick pea and potatoe pattie some cummin corriander ona bed of salad and maybe a sweet chilli or jalapeno hot sauce. We sell one of those in the shop.
A mate of mine gets one with bacon on it as well and its tasty also lol.

[ring sting]

Hey Stillmanz, there's no pineapple on the richie?

Cmon mate, beetroot, bacon [I]and[I] pineapple! all aussie staples for a burger!

My Canadian/English father in law was mystified by beetroot and pineapple on burgers.

RS

[stillmanz]

yep theres pineapple on the ritchie .

[texas blues]

If it's not meat..it's not a burger...it's a sandwich. Turkey is questionable...and I admit I am biased..I'm not a turkey fan. Traditionally burgers are beef. Sprouts and whale blubber on a bun is not a burger. Cheese is always an option...no matter the kind.
Cheers, TB.

[rainbowberry]

Why do people call burgers Ham Burgers when they're beef?

[QuadShotz]

I tend to like to make my own..that way I get exactly what I want, including my naga BBQ sauce and fresh Jalapenos. ;)

Burger Joints locally, you can't beat Dick's and Zip's for good-old-fashioned heart attack fodder.

http://www.zipsdrivein.com/aboutus.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip's_Drive_In

I live right next to the one in the picture... Can't beat two Papa Joe's for under $3 (meat, cheese, ham, their own tartar sauce, lettuce, and a pickle.) The Belly Buster and Big Zipper are fun if you want a monster.

The Double Whammy at Dick's is a legend ..and under $2 for 1 lb. of brain-numbing beef and cheese. Still about a buck for the Whammy which is more than most people eat..3meat/2cheese.. :shocked:

Oh, and they make their own fries, just don't let them get cold. ;)

Why do people call burgers Ham Burgers when they're beef?

http://www.answers.com/topic/hamburger

[rainbowberry]

That's interesting Philipperv, thanks. I didn't realise that by law in England it only has to contain 52% lean meat. I'd prefer a burger with 52% lean meat and the rest cereal then a 100% ham/beef burger with chewy bits in it.

[Philipperv]

Made up my own new burger recipe last nite. Took some decent burger I just got fresh and didn't have any cheese except cream cheese so I folded some slices of that into the meat along with diced onion and garlic and cooked it putting some oyster sauce, chili powder, pepper and oregano on top. I also had some mashed potato left and put that on top too with some jalapeño slices (canned stuff :(). Was a real treat! Sorry no pics.

[fineexampl]

My newest favorite and best burger joint in NJ is the only one outside of NYC. Jackson Hole in Englewood, NJ. The burger was bigger than any burger i've ever had anywhere and made of pure beef. I got the soul burger last time. A cheeseburger with bacon and ham. Niceness!

[theHippySeedCo]

The Beachcomber Take Away, Barrenjoey Rd Ettalong Beach N.S.W Australia. New People toook it over recently, being open to suggestions they made a Burger with chilli sauce,, Naga/Savina Sauce actually and its that good,ya don't know the sauce is on it as its so nice til ya start sweating and ya mouth lets rip, by the end Ya Lips are burning, ya sweating, breathing heavy going "might get another"

im bout to go get a Bacon and Egg roll with the sauce on it :)

Bents, yours loooks OUTSTANDING.. :):)

[naganivana]

Hey dude, there is a hamburger shop up the road from the hippyseedco, and they have a Extreme Burger with a Hab Sauce.
Had one yesterday with double sauce and is was simply sublime.

Then, to finish off, we had a bowl of ice cream, topped with
a Plum Chili Sauce. That was awesome.

It burnt the back of throat first, then once finished the ice cream,
the heat moved to the front of the mouth. Will try next time on Waffles too, with Blueberries. :-)

[naganivana]

really, i dont know how i didn't see that previous blog until,
after I posted.

Well, will scroll to bottom of blogs in future, before posting.

But those Burger are great, What was the Egg & Bacon Roll like?

[theHippySeedCo]

Unbelievable, i had a soft egg and it ran all through it, now that mixed with the Naga/hab flav Outstanding, so after the second 1 my lips were burning and the coffee Stang,, Awesome

theres 2 of my daily meals covered now :)

I don't know if they are everywhere, but I love Winking Lizard's burgers. They are a bar/pub in NE Ohio and also have some fantastic wings, hot ones too. In fact they have wings that you must sign a waver before ordering, I can't remember the name of them though.

1tbs Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp salt

I know that one without even looking up the name. It is Quaker Steak and Lube that now has many new locations since that last time I was home. Used to go to the original one in Sharon, PA while growing up.
