Best Damned Burger In the Area?

[freebfrost]

the best Burger is the one you make yourslef out side on the grill. I buy fresh meat, make my own pattiies add in my own seasonings, I cut the fresh toppings that I get that day from the Farmers Market. It is just better that way.

Crothian, normally I'd agree with you, but you obviously haven't been to Thurman's - my nephew came to visit me up here just to try them!

Ski Shores, Austin, TX

Border Burger - $7.25
The "Ski Shores Original!" We grill a 1/3 lb. fresh cut hamburger patty to perfection, add cheese, grilled onions, and jalapenos. Then we serve it on a bed of freshly prepared guacamole.

Oh my gawd. Must...go...there...today...

There's a little place called Mac's Drive In here in Waterloo, New York; best old school burgers that you can find in the entire state. Not huge burgers but the tastiest things that you've ever laid your greasy hands on. And the fires, don't get me started on the fries. And the root beer! Sweet mother of Buddha, the root beer! It's served in frosted mugs. *begins drooling all over again*

They close for the winter but should be back sometime in early April. They serve free Root Beer on opening day. I can't wait.

Shameless plug for my hometown:

Waterloo is the actual birthplace of Memorial Day, as declared by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966. All you pretender towns can stop your whining and bow before your rightful masters .

she doesn't know what she's talking about.

the best damn burger EVAR in DC is from The Little Tavern.

Wrong. Lindy's. Plus, I think the Little Tavern went bye-bye a couple years ago.

Best burger I ever had was at the Biltmore Hotel in Miami. Perfectly charred on the outside, red and warm on the inside, a bun that was both crunchy and chewy, pepperjack cheese for a little zing, and a couple of mojitos to wash it down.... <drool>

Yeah, after I finished writing my post on Fatapple's I read it over and felt the urge. I told my girlfriend "We're going to Fatapple's. Get your coat." I sold myself on it!

Hmm, I used to live in the Bay Area and was in Berkeley frequently, but never heard of Fatapple's. I was a regular at Barney's Gourmet Hamburgers in Oakland, though. That's still my all time fave, especiallly the Russian Burger. Standard fixin's plus sauteed mushrooms, sour cream and chives between thick slices of toasted dark rye bread. And the fries were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside -- perfect!

Yeah Barney's is good also. Not really your classic burgers, but definitely some fun variants.
