For a non-chain - Holeman and Finch here in ATL. But you can only buy it after 10PM

And if you could make it travel well (which you can't) then you'd combine it with fries from Shaun's which are cooked in duck fat.

Besides In and Out, Whataburger is my 2nd choice for best chain outside of ATL:

And 5 Guys (they have vinegar for your fries too....) inside ATL:

But I personally like my hamburgers the best :)

I love Fuddruckers burgers but technically they are a chain in Texas though. You can put the fresh ingredients on the burger yourself and the burger itself is cooked perfectly.

I'm all about the In-n-Out Burger. It's like crack!

Why?
They are OK fast food wise but still they really are bleh burger wise.

Because they taste really fucking good, that's why. Maybe bleh to you, but obviously some people think they are good if not great.

Then they could explain right? Thread does ask about the why and me asking again is of no damn issue when someone leaves it out. Perhaps I am curious. Maybe it is research and I am trying to build a blog or something. I just do not live in your world where if someone asks for comments or even gives you a comment card when you buy something and you just respond with "cause I like it". Ends up as an invalid entry really.

well I hate to break it to ya, but when it comes to food, how it tastes is pretty much it.

In PortChester, New York there's a little place called Burgers, Shakes and Fries. Just a couple of guys who started their own place and got great reviews.

It's weird buger, on some kind of bread slices, but it's the best burger I've ever had. On that first bite, that motherfucker exploded tasty beef grease all over the inside of my mouth.

I've been back every weekend since then.

The absence of Whataburger is the only bad thing about living in Southern California.

Tommy's comes close but Whataburger will always be the genuine article.

All Whataburger locations are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 a year.

Case closed.

I didn't know single locations were cool in this thread.

Hodad's in OB-San Diego.

I go there all the time but not often enough.

Fiddy Hamburger joints!!!

Man it's not easy to get a good burger.

Lots of people like In and Out in this thread and its the only fast food place I will take my son too. I like the burger too for what it is.

There is 2 premium burger chains things here I know, Islands and Red Robin, both are pretty crap but I can eat there if I am in a pinch.

I'm trying to think of the best burger I have had in Scottsdale and the best I can come up with is one at Houston's. Normally if I go there for dinner I wouldn't order a burger but this was lunch.

Like one guy said I think sports bars and random places have the best burgers round here but its a lottery as to who is good and bad.

PS. What-a-burger is awful here. I would prefer eat a big mac than try that crap again.

Burger Fuel in New Zealand.

This is a known fact.

It really is point of this thread. I do travel often and always have my laptop or something like it with me. On several instances I have came back here to find an old thread talking about whatever city or item to try while there and it has helped.

In N out is the best hamburger in the world. it is fucken amazing, its fresh and delicious...its orgasmic, an orgasmic experience for the tastebuds, incredibly good. Just melts in your mouth. Its even better with grilled onion for that caramelized taste and fantastic with raw onions for that special zang. It's just so good and so incredible. It's the best I ever had. I cannot live without it. It is freakin amazing. And the animal style fries are to die for. Its an orgasmic mix of special sauce, onions and cheese. It's unlike anything else in the world. There are words to describe it, it is unbelievable. So good.

I have no clue if chowhound breaks the other boards rule but if you post a thread there prior to travel you should get the best 'foodie' advice.

In Austin, for burgers, go to Hut's, Dan or Fran's, Dirty Martins, or Frisco's.

Lot's of good burger joints in this town!

Ya I could post or look plenty of other places like yelp etc. Problem I find with "foodie" sites and reviews is that they often are to um what would that be, critical or whatnot.

There was an article written a long time ago after a famous dinner where someone blew a few grand at a American Express paid for dinner in NY at some french place, the author wrote a review tongue in cheek about pork and beans (plus more) to really put some perspective into the food critiques ideas of food reviews.

I used to be a bread man and delivered the buns to this bar. They have the most flavorful fucking burgers I've ever tasted.

I haven't had one in 20 years and even now, I think about them now and then..

Our vote goes for Tommy's and In & Out burger

Local place called Boomers running out of an old A&W drive-in. Best burgers in town.

T-K Burgers in Newport Beach T-K stands for "The Kind"

I am a real big hambuger type of guy. I absolutely love them! You should try the burgers at Ruby Tuesdays. They're very good. As far as a quick drive through, I have always like Wendys. Hard to say really since there are so many good hamburger places out there.

haha i am going there today =)

http://www.fiveguys.com/home.aspx

these guys are absolute genuises

in and out. hands down.

East coast folks, check out 5 guys...they're spreading like fucking wildfire up and down the coast...greasy, fresh as fuck and delicious...super good fries as well, cooked in peanut oil.

Wasn't a fan of In & Out, ate there twice and won't be going back. Patties are too dry and the fries are fucking shit.

burger king whopper :D

I ate at the vortex in ATL about 2 yrs ago. Loved the tater tots. More burger joints should serve those.


When I'm at home, I go to Char Hut, http://www.charhut.com. Cooked fresh right in front of your eyes. Great hot dogs too.

damn u beat me to it i go to the one in awatukee off elliot i think

Hard Rock always does a good burger
