Best Damned Burger In the Area?

[nakia]

Careful not to spill any sauce on your dress.

See? It's this sort of attitude that I'm talking about. Not all of us have the gastrointestinal capacity of a wooly mammoth.

And die_kluge's right. Chili's does have pretty good burgers. And I have yet to find good bar-b-que in Virginia.

As proudly featured on "The Best of Lunch Hot Spots" on the Food Network, the best burger in Columbus, Ohio is the Thurman Burger from Thurman's Cafe.

I was able to find a picture of one here .

(And the reviewer forgot to mention that it normally comes with a fried egg on it as well!)



Yum!

BLASPHEMY! Bow down and kneel before the awesomeness of In-N-Out. They're family owned and maintain a small area because it's part of their freshness philosophy.
Speaking of In-N-Out, everyone knows about the "secret menu" items right?

If philosophy inhibits expansion, is it a healthy philosophy for a business??

And is Wiki correct? Do they slip bible verses on napkins and wrappers? If so, all
the more reason to avaoid it. (no flame war here, I just don't want a company putting
religion in my face while I eat)

Funny you should say that, diaglo. He's considering a move here.

If he comes down before the next Game Day to scout out the area then I'll make sure and take him to my favorite BBQ place: Ole' Time Bar-B-Que

It is a tiny, hole in the wall place run by a guy who's best described as "a character". Among the various pig-related junk that covers the walls is my favorite bumper sticker that says:

"North Carolina - #1 in Hogs, #42 in Teacher Pay"

nah it wasn't coincidence. i knew he landed a job outside of VA from the thread he started about his PhD defense.

I'll add another vote for In N Out, although I don't like their fries too much.

Ask for them extra crispy. They'll give them a quick refry, and it'll be perfect.

It's like people telling me that Richmond has good barbecue. People on the coasts don't know what good barbecue is.

Memphis barbecue is vastly better than the bland stuff made in the Midwest. Any part of the country that would pass off flavorless spaghetti sauce as chili can't be trusted with pulled pork.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Please. In-N-Out are the most overrated burgers in the world. Yep they're good burgers, but no where near the gastronomical nirvana that SoCalians like to delude themselves into believing.

You clearly need an intervention, starting with a double double animal style.

Now they are the best fast food chain burgers by far you will ever find, but really that's just damning with faint praise no?

Er, I'm sorry, but isn't that what this thread is about?

die_kluge is considering a move to Raleigh.

I am certainly moving to Rock Hill, South Carolina in July to be an assistant professor at Winthrop University. And I would certainly be interested in visiting Ole' Time Bar-B-Que when I come down for Game Day, or any other time for that matter. I love me some good Q. My favorite place is probably Radd Dew's Bar-B-Que in Conway, South Carolina (my hometown). Pulled pork, vinegar sauce. Yum.

And, um, they don't really have burgers, so I'm way off topic.
