Best Burger - Fast Food? Restaurant?

[PBateman2]

What the best burger in your opinion from a fast food joint that you've had?

How about restaurant?


For me, fast food, I would have to go with In N Out….PURE SEX…….






Restaurant? I would have to go with Tons of Fun Burger at Cheesecake Factory. Im sure there are much better choices which I would love to hear.

Tons of Fun Burger:





Let's hear your favorites.

In return, I will rep, critique your diet, your training, tell you your BF %, let you know if it's ok to eat yogurt, etc..whatever you like.




I'll be back. Have to return some videotapes.

Personally I like small local places that don't belong to a chain. If I try them once and taste that everything is fresh and tasty, I prefer supporting them to eating at burger king or something.

[BazingaO]

I don't usually order burger when I eat out, but have had some shots though.

For the restaurant, when I was in London, I ate at a placs call Byron, and took the B-rex.




I also went to a "gastronomic" restaurant once. It was really tasty, and not greasy at all, very enjoyable to eat.
Don't remember exacly what there was in it, but some "high quality" ingredient.





And for the fast-food, I don't remember the name because it was during my holiday...
Honestly, it was maybe the fattest and greasiest burger, but one of the best I've ever eaten.
With mozarella, and a deep fried potatoe pattie in the middle, that added a lot of crunchiness. Just epic.

Five guys out here and In N Out when I am on the west coast.

Red Robin - they have a new jalapeno bread, that makes it even that more awesome.

In New York City, probably Peter Lugar's burger:

I heard about Five Guys. I live in the SF/Bay ARea and one opened up about 15min from where I live. I have yet to try. Would be nice to compare.

Can never go wrong with Red Robin.

Heard about this one! I was in NYC a few months ago but need to go back just for the eats

Can't beat local diner burgers.

Fast food would have to be BK Bacon Cheeseburger


For a restaurant, any Fudrucker's or steak house burger is nice.

[dougefresh93]

west coasters will say in n out most everybody else will say 5 guys for fast food or chain joints.

Buffalo have a burger joint named Grover's amazing burgers cheese burger soup and wings of course.




Had this one in Columbus OH (R Bar i think) 3/4 lb beef burger, 1/2 lb fried bologna

[muruku]

Favorite burger has to be from Hong Kong's Si Sun Fast Food. Love both their double cheese and cheese + egg pork burgers. Really good stuff.




Locally, I enjoy the occasional Ramlee burger



Basically a chicken patty wrapped in a onion omelette, topped with cheese and shredded vegs.



The quality and ingredients differ from store to store. But still delicious most of the time.

Oh yeah Fudruckers…definitely good stuff!

So pork is used instead of ground beef? Never tried that - burger style.

[dougefresh93]

i do really like egg on my burger, egg bacon onion cheese... perfect.

i make lamb or bison burgers at home often, both very good.

The use of pork is quite common in Asian countries, except for muslim dominant countries (eg. Malaysia). Thailand has pretty good pork burgers too, like their MacDonald's Samurai Pork Burger.

The chinese also have a traditional dish called Kong Bak Pau, which consist of braised pork belly wrapped in a white bun..
Momofuko's pork belly buns are quite similar, except the difference in the way the pork belly is prepared.

^This... Buffalo Burger medium rare at Fudrucks = HHHNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!

My bad man! That's how I feel about In'N'Out.. I live on East coast and have never been out West, seeing these pictures absolutely kills me!

Holy **** at the burgers in here. We barely have any burger restaurants in my city (rather small island sadly), but there's a local place called Texas (so original) that makes an awesome burger. Rather support locals than MCD, Burger King and so on, always hype myself when I get to Copenhagen but am always let so down by their poverty burgers haha. Sadly no money or closeshot, here's a fun pic from a few years ago eating before a birthday lol. Will try to find a $$$ shot if possible.



Burger consists of bacon, 2 beefs, 3 slices of cheese, picles, onion, a massive leaf of salad, BBQ sauce and homemade garlic/bbq relish/sauce kind of thing. hnnnggzzzzzzz


actually found a picture from their website lols.

is obviously a lot more greasier RL than that, thankfully

In New York City, probably Peter Lugar's burger:

if i were to live in or visit New York more often i could bring myself to eat burgers there. i've been only once (for the steak, also had bacon) and i'm not sure if i can bring myself to eat anything else when i go back...

I heard about Five Guys. I live in the SF/Bay ARea and one opened up about 15min from where I live. I have yet to try. Would be nice to compare.

5 guys is definitely my favorite



in terms of comparing, i was a bit disappointed when i went to in-n-out in las vegas, but i think my expectations were in the wrong place. i think i was expecting some sort of fancy-pants burger when i should be thinking good quality fast food burger...i'll definitely reevaluate when i go back.

how do you order your burgers from in-n-out? secret menu?

[ironwill2008]

Not a fan of most fast-food burgers, although I won't turn down a Wendy's Double Cheeseburger with lettuce/tomato/mayo.



Best restaurant burger here IMO is Five Guys.

[kenonator]

One of the places near me has a peanut butter burger. It's amazing. Everything looks like a fresh normal burger but when you bite in to it you get a hint of warm peanut butter that really takes the burger to a different level. If you see one on a menu sometime try it out!

[cls91]

'Rude Boy Burger' from Nah Nah Bah's (ranked top 50 burger joints in the world)
Two patties, bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, onion, melted cheese and housemade bbq sauce


'Dom Burger' from Big Als
Bacon, mozzarella sticks, lettuce, tomato, onion




'Hunka Hunka' from The Works (not my pic)
Peanut butter, bacon slices, and banana

Let's hear your favorites.

Can I substitute for some skin care advice?

Best burger I've ever had in my life was at a restaurant called Owen and Engine; it's a British-style (gastropub) restaurant in Bucktown. It was everything. Not overdone with the toppings, the actual burger was just heaven. That's how you know.

Best burger I've had at a bar would be Joe's Brewery, menu:

(^ The Jalepeno Popper)

Sadly these recommendations don't help anyone outside of Illinois, but for some reason when I travel a burger is the one thing I don't get, lol.

For fast food I'll have to say Five Guys, even though I think their fries actually surpass their burgers. Have never tried In-N-Out or Hardees so my fast food burger experience is limited.

Taking notes down for my trip to NYC this weekend.






The best burger I had in a while was the royal red robin at red robin.

Local>>>>Chains definetly but the royal red was really good.

well pug's a new yorker (right?) so his advice is better than mine, but i will say that i'm from Kansas City, and pretty proud of our steaks, but Peter Luger's Porterhouse should be what you order on your first visit. it's a serving for 2 (unless you're a big eater) and it's not cheap (although not that expensive, considering it's quality plus reputation) but it's the best steak i've ever eaten.
