Cheesehead - #4 - Moonie's - Austin

Hawaiian burger, love the buns here.

Omg cake - 5ivesteak JFK airport - #11

Had the NYC blue crush . Bun was a bit dry. Thought it was kind of meh until I bit into the blue cheese/burger/tomato combo. Then it tasted great. 7.5/10

Omg cake - five guys Brooklyn - #10

Surprisingly, five guys makes a pretty damn good burger. Not the best in the world, but still awesome. 8.5/10

Omg cake - the Irish American bar - #9

The sliders. Meh. A bit dry. Nothing special . 3/10

JimD Lark Burger #9

6/10. Good but nothing memorable

Wiley - Doc's - Austin, TX - #10

I ate number 10 at Doc's South Congress on Friday night. I wasn't even hungry but forced that thing down just to get it out of the way.
I took a photo, but somehow I thought I had already uploaded it and deleted it as I cleaned up my photos.
Ooops.
I'm still counting it, simply because I'm not a big fan of Doc's food in general since 90% of their stuff is "fried something", and I'd rather not eat another burger there.
In any case, it was a simple cheese burger, sub the regular cheese for blue cheese. Im sure you can picture it.
It was alright.

Missychel burger #9 24 diner, Austin, TX

spicy Pepper Burger: 7/10 .....not enough heat to warrant the name but pretty damn tasty.

Digger/Black Rock Resort/Ucluelet B.C./#8

This resort is owned by Jason Priestly, and I don't have to tell you he is! OK, maybe I do. He is from Vancouver, and was a star of Beverly Hills 90210(the original). The one with Tori Spelling and Shannon Doherty. Google those images if you want to scare yourself.
  Anyhow, I believe the Burger Challenge rules allow me one "Non Beef" burger, and this is it. A beautiful day, an ocean setting, and a fabulous chicken burger. 8/10.

Peter Pepper, Whataburger, Austin, Burger # 13

My brother was in town from Colorado and he apparently had to have Whataburger. I normally don't burger here often but it was a good burger. I ordered a single bacon cheeseburger with mayo instead of mustard. Veggies got in the way so I pulled my pickles right there in front of everyone. Solid 7/10 for a fast food burger. Bonus unscored points for chicks talking about wanting to buy my car and a huge photo of Barton Springs on he wall.

The best burgers in 25 cities

Timko - West End Tavern - Boulder, CO - Burger #22

5/10. Meh. People like this burger, it's one of my least favorites. Too handled/compressed. Bun OK.

Digger/Gary's Kitchen/Tofino B.C./Burger #7/ rating 1/10

A funny story. Gary's Kitchen is famous for the best crab in British Colombia.It's just a little hole in the wall Chinese Restaurant, but the crab boats deliver it fresh to them daily, and the Cantonese Dungeness Crab they serve was featured on 5 star Chef Lynn Crawford's TV show.
  Anyhow, we show up and they haven't got the crab in yet from the fishermen. Since I already had a beer on the go and was starving, I decided to take one for the team and ordered the burger. I believe it was a frozen Schneider's Burger pattie on a WonderBread bun with frozen McCain fries.
The girls, however, ordered Chinese food and it was excellent.
  So the plan is back later tonight for the Cantonese Crab!

Peter Pepper, Casino el Camino, Austin, Burger #12

Nothing like grabbing a beer and a 1/2 pound burger before hitting a show on Red River to fill the gut with more beer. I've been know to take half with me and bust it out at the bar later. Not this night. I powered through my go-to medium rare Amarillo burger (the one with serranos) and split an order of chili fries. As usual about an hour wait but it's worth it. Solid burger and cooked properly pink. 8/10.

HaVoCLaD - Hat Creek Burger Co. - ATX - #12

7/10

My first trip to the Bee Caves location of Hat Creek Burger Co.

I had the Big Hat (LTOK) with American Cheese.

The burger was good and juicy.  The bun was plain, but well grilled.  The fries were pretty spectacular.

Lulu - Freddie's Place - Austin, TX - #8

I don't feel like I can accurately score this burger.... I ate too many chip before it. :(

brownie/Mountain Shadow/Old Colorado City/burger #13

Meh. At least the beer was really good.

nutsandboltons - Gamston Wood Farm, Borough Market - London - SH#12

Springbok (Antelope) burger with mustard, mayo, and cranberry sauce.  Also, white cheddar, lettuce, and onions.  I've had a number of burgers from this place, and while my favorite is the zebra, I haven't been disappointed yet (unless you count the time I undercooked the kangaroo burger).  There's something very honest and frank about the taste of the game meat in their burgers.  The springbok was good, but it wasn't quite as good as the reindeer burger they were serving over the holidays (festive!).  Add to that the fact that they don't melt the cheese on the burger and they're really only serving them as a way to get you to buy raw meat from their butcher's case, and you're docked a copule points.  I'd have expected the three sauces to be a little too much, but they actually work very well together, perhaps because the homemade cranberry sauce was used sparingly.  Add it all up and you've got an above average burger with perhaps below average
presentation.  If I were grading the meat by itself, we'd be looking at a 9 or better, so you're better off getting some raw patties and doing them at home.

6/10

The Moose Cracker Barrel, Fredericksburg, VA #6

The Moose - Cracker Barrel, Fredericksburg, VA #6 They have one cheese bacon burger. Impressed with size of patty, bigger than bun. Thinking this would probably be much yummier if not "well done" - flavor was great, bun stayed in one piece, bacon was crunchy as requested. I just have issues with red meat. Their hash browns are amazing. Lost my burger partner on this one. 6/10

Rayzor - Storm's - lampasas, tx - burger #7

Storm's special: triple patty, 1/2 lb total. Very thin, griddle patties, and i think they had onions in them. Average burger, but they do have sweet potato fries. 5/10.

Cheesehead - Sandy's - ATX #4

pjtravels - The Best Burger in New York

I watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother last night about burgers, and I thought the monologue here was awesome. I recommend the episode to anyone with Netflix (season 4, episode 2).

Anthony - Freddie's Place - Austin, TX - #10

5/10 - The Fredelvis burger: angus beef, bacon, banana, peanut butter, and honey. I'll try anything once, because you never know when something will be unexpectedly good. This was not one of those times.

Timko - Blue Canyon Grill - Boulder, CO - Burger #21

9/10. I had half a blue cheese bacon and ranch and half a green chili and pepper jack. Both real good. Cooked perfect with good buns.

Lulu - Dave and Busters - Austin, TX - #8

Meh. 6/10. Boring!

pjtravels - Andice General Store - And ice, TX - burger #18

8/10. Nicely toasted bun, well seasoned patty and fresh, crisp vegetables. Perfect stop for a ride from Austin (especially with a Northish wind)

Slow Ride - Old Town Kebab House - Swindon - kebab #9

6/10  Fantastic proprietor at the OTK House but the meat ad sauce are a bit bland (slightly more detail here).

Digger/Earl's/Nanaimo B.C./ Burger #6

7/10 not as good as usual, but still damn good. Bun looks huge but all air, so that's nice.Gave them an extra point for the waitress with the "Little Black Dress".

Biliruben - Mighty Fine - ATX - #17

9 / 10

Name: Yeller Cheeseburger
Toppings: LTOMuPC(a)
Patty: 1/2 medium
Taste: Mighty Fine has traditionally been my favorite hamburger. It's always dripping with flavor and the crinkle cut fries are not to be missed. Don't pass this one up.

Peter Pepper, Jack Allen's, Oak Hill, TX, Burger # 11

Green chile cheese burger cooked medium rare. Properly cooked and tasty meat with a nice soft bun. Green chile mix didn't overwhelm. A good burger overall for a 7 out of 10.

nutsandboltons - The Orange Bull - London - SH#11

http://www.theorangebull.co.uk/

Double-decker burger done just the other side of medium well.  Rashers instead of streaky bacon.  Things I don't like in a burger, but all is forgiven because the flavors on this were amazing.  I had this burger before the year started, and it was much better.  Need to remember to order it medium well next time.  The only complaint I can't hand-wave away is the fact that it's way too big to pick up.  This is a fork-and-knifer, for sure.

Name: Build Your Own
Toppings: LTOPMuC(a)E
Patty: 1/3 rd med
Taste: not bad, actually. This was the first time I had noticed they offer fried eggs as a topping. That always helps.

Missychel burger #8: Cuatro's Austin,TX

The Schlee Burger.....5/10 it was over cooked but the toppings were yummy.

pjtravels - Second Bar + Kitchen - Austin, TX - burger #17

7/10 Tasty, perhaps a bit salty. Can't tell if the saltiness was from the burger or the truffle fries.

Hydrant boy-Co Mtn Brewery-CO Springs, CO-#2

Finally tried this place after hearing mixed reviews on food and beer. Give it about a 5. Fries were decent, burger was a bit more than medium rare. But pricey for what you get.

Timko - The Sink - Boulder, CO - Burger #repeat

I've had a few repeat locations and still ordered burgers. This one is too good not to post. This was the burger special. Polish burger. Meat, sauerkraut, potato and cheese pierogis, cheese, bacon, sour cream. 10/10 for a burger with such eclectic ingredients.

Wiley - Jack Allen's Kitchen - Oak Hill, TX - #9

8/10 for the Fat Jack.
Good burger, fresh bread that stayed intact despite a high slop factor.

kebabs in the news: horse meat scandal

I don't have a problem with this (in fact, the abattoir is too good for most of the ponies I've bet on lately), but it is raising hackles with others over here:  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/police-and-food-standards-agency-raid-yorkshire-abattoir-accused-of-supplying-horsemeat-kebabs-8492234.html

Pepperjack BBQ Burger
5/10

Overall, it had a decent flavor.  It just wasn't anything special.

pjtravels - Alamo Drafthouse Lake Creek - Austin, TX - burger #16

6/10 Royale with Cheese.

Peter Pepper, Whip In, Austin, Burger # 10

A pair of sliders served with slaw and spicy French fries. The burgers, whilst still pink in the middle, still seemed a bit overcooked, but they had a good spicy Indian thing going on and some Mango chutney to balance the spice. Fries were spicy indeed. 7/10.

On Sundays the Whip In will play vinyl records that you bring in, and they'll give you a free can of (good) beer in return. Win-win!

The Moose # 5

CHEEBURGER  CHEEBURGER, Fredericksburg, VA We both got burgers with onions, lettuce, BBQ sauce. Top has honey wheat bun and American cheese. Bottom Kaiser roll with Swiss cheese. Top 5/10 bottom 6/10 (side note: a million milk shake flavors all come in metal cup, thick, delicious, two straws. Fried pickles are good, fries not so much, unless you're a fan of the dark thin ones with skin. Fun 60's music.)

Anthony - Serrano's - Austin, TX - #9

8/10 - I had really low expectations for this jalapeño cheeseburger. Great charbroiled taste, and good heat from the peppers.

JohnF - The Loop - Austin, Tx - #10

This is a relatively new place in north Austin. The patty had just the right amount of slightly burned taste from the grill the way burgers should be. 1/2 lb patty on Texas Toast. 8/10

Beebs - I love Burgers - Las Vegas - #8

10/10
Heart & Seoul
Angus marinated in Sriracha and soy
Avocado, kimchi, onion strings, fried egg, furikake-wasabi mayo

This was awesome. The Sriracha gave the meat a great taste and the kimchi was not so hot as to be overpowering. I love a fried egg, all gooey on the meat. The pretzel bun was substantial enough to hold all of it, but I still ate it with a knife and fork. Delish.

Missychel #7 Jo's (2nd St) Austin,TX

8/10....cooked to perfection

A side note tip, Monday is buy one get on free burgers!

Wiley - Citizens - Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas - #8

6/10 is all this dry piece of meat with a crumbly bun deserves.
