Best Burger Place in Your Neck of the Woods!

in July 2012 Weddings
Since we are all from all over the country, I was curious, what is the best burger place in your area? I rarely eat red meat, but for some reason with the 4th of July tomorrow, I am craving a burger!

I live in CA, so I have to go with In-N-out!

I've had steak and shake before when I visited Indiana and that place was heaven (and a heart attack)

    I was going to say in-n-out too! It's definitely my favorite. 

    When I used to live in Denver, in-n-out was the first place I went after I got home.

    I don't know whether to keep up with the FB posts or TK posts. hahahaha

    Best burger place in my area is impossible to say. Shake Shack is amazing. So's Burger Joint (in the Parker Meridien). I cannot choose between those two.

    Chain-type for my area is Five Guys.

    Non-chain for burgers?  Honestly, I can't say I've found one that's worth mentioning.  Pizza on the other hand.......

    There's this burger place in Seattle that is by far the BEST burger I've ever ate. It practically ruined all other burgers for me. It's called Lunchbox Labratory and it really is kind of a labratory. You get to mix and match whatever you want on your burger (there are oh so many choices). You even get to choose what kind of meat you want (beef, lamb, bean, turkey etc.) And the BUN! Oh don't get me started on the bun! It literally MELTS in your mouth.

    Oh my I could talk about this place forever it is really THAT good!

    Ooooo also Peter Luger's. It's a mafia-style steak house but they have burgers during the day only and they are AMAZING. I think they cook them with a block of butter on top of them (like their steaks).

    I am drooling.

    Okay so I'm completely way South from all of you! Down here in our "neck of the woods" the best place to get a burger is MugShots. It's a super thick burger on an amazing sourdough bun. They have all kinds of burgers. Even a peanut butter burger (jelly is optional). It's amazing.

    Ok, don't hate me, girls, but I don't even think 5 guys is that great. I know everyone and their mother loves it, but in-n-out is like 10 times better.

    I actually totally agree. I don't like Five Guys THAT much. Meagan, I think you'd love Shake Shack. Very similar burger to In-n-Out although I guess not totally because it doesn't have the same sauce. It does have awesome "Shack sauce" though: <a href="http://www.shakeshack.com/food-and-drink/" rel="nofollow">http://www.shakeshack.com/food-and-drink/</a> 

    ps - Colleen, omg  they have a Shake Shack in Philly now?!??!??!!! 20th and Sansom it looks like. Just opened in June 2012.

    I wasn't going to say anything when people started saying 5 guys but now that you have I'll chime in. I actually think the place has the worst burgers I've ever had. They use Kraft singles for petes sake. And the bun has to have come from Costco or something. They taste like my moms burgers and my mom makes terrible burgers (sorry mom).

    Haha that's one of Fi's favorite things about going to Indiana...Steak N Shake! Last time we hit it on the way to my parents from the airport...

    Around here, I don't really know. There is a place called Brew City in Worcester, MA that is extremely good! However, my go-to when I want a burger is usually Red Robin, but I think that's nation wide lol There is a place called Denny's Beer Barrel & Pub in Clearfield, PA that is a MUST when we are traveling to/from Indiana...does that count? lol

    <div>BRITISH food (IMO) is pretty crappy. But there is amazing food in London. Curries are generally good. Gourmet food is good. Street food is amazing. This sounds weird, but UK grocery stores are sooooooo good! Everything is fresh. There is very little pre-packaged or processed foods, which is fine by me. We also live a five minute walk from one of the best fresh food markets in the world, so we are totally spoiled. We literally go every Saturday morning as part of our weekend routine. I think that is what I'll miss most about London.</div><div>

    The best burgers in the world is at Sidetrack Tap, a tiny bar north of us. They serve 1/2 pounders and I can eat the entire thing and still want more!
