Miles - Threadgill's - Austin, TX - Burger #12

Cheddar Burger
3/10

This burger was over-cooked, dry, and flavorless.

brownie/Oscar's/CSCO/burger #20

Awesome burger with a local microbrew (PBR). Added bonus that I get to watch the Pitt and Bucknell games!

Missychel burger #11 @ hop doddy

The good knight....Fing rocked my belly! 8/10

megabootay - Mighty Fine - Austin, TX - #11

8/10
1/4 Hamburger with Cheese
Red, Yeller, & White, Sliced Onions, Sliced Tomatoes, & Shredded Lettuce
I was SXSHungover. I needed grease. Mighty Fine it was.

megabootay - Gourdough's Public House - Austin, TX - #10

10/10
El Camino
Angus beef, chipotle cheese blend, chipolte mayo, pickled jalapenos, bacon, cilantro, sliced tomato, & fried onions...on a donut!!!
At first, I questioned the donut theme at Gourdough's Public House. But it has quickly become my new favorite 'fatty' place. I only planned on eating half and taking the rest home. Um...yea. Sure, that happened. It was donutalicious and I loved every bite of it.

Beebs - Ledo's pizza - Springfield, va - burger #12

Blue cheese burger, 3/10. Most burgers lately have been too dry for my taste. This one was way too greasy, meat tasted weird. They put mayo on it after I asked for none. Only saving grace was the ciabatta bun. Moral: do not order hamburgers at a pizza joint. 'Course, their pizza sucks, too.

GZ Houlohan's, Dubuque Iowa. Burger number 8

This place had more salad dressings than beers on tap. That ought to be against some law or something.

GZ Colorado Sports Bar, DIA Concourse B, Denver CO. Burger number 7

Sweet potato fries and a Ranger ... always makes the burger better. First burger since Jan 31. That's right, zero in Feb.

Rayzor - Joe's Place - fayetteville, tx - burger #11

Old Fashioned Cheeseburger, med rare. Decent burger properly cooked, but the beef was a little bland. 6/10

Peter Pepper, Zax Pints and Plates, Austin, Burger #15

Ate this burger at Zax a few weeks ago. Don't remember the name of my particular selection but apparently it had avocados on it. I remember it being pretty tasty so 8/10.

Peter Pepper, P. Terry's, Austin, Burger #

Not a photo of the burger but just the aftermath because I totally Hasselhoffed this burger after the final night of drinking during SXSW. It used to be a double with cheese, no lettuce add onions. Peanut butter chocolate shake kicks ass. 9/10

Peter Pepper, P Terry's Hamburgers, Austin, Burger #16

Biliruben - Estado Puro - Madrid, ESP - #19

6 / 10

Mini-burgers were ok, but certainly not my favorite. None the less, the novelty was certainly a plus.

Jimd Shamrock Brewing Co- Pueblo Co- #13

8/10. With Irish champ for St Pats day.

Animoul / Broken Yolk / La Costa, CA / #8

Ensenada burger: 10 / 10

pjtravels - Mighty Fine - Austin, TX - burger #24

6/10. Decent burger - 1/4 lb patty doesn't quite cover the bun area. Bun wasn't toasted - just wasn't as good as it was in my memories.

Timko - Buffalo Wild Wings - Superior, CO - Burger #29

1/10 - garbage grey patty. Shit. Worst out of the 29 I've had so far this year. Odell IPA was my only salvation. Ugly bartender...looked like Brownie +75lbs.

Slow Ride - Gorsehill Grill - Swindon - kebab #14

7/10 maybe because I hadn't eaten since the day before and ran 7 wet, hilly miles stopping only for pints a few times along the way (here, here, here, and here)...the kebab was tasty, just probably not really a 7 if my judgement weren't addled (full review here).

JP - West Flanders Brewing Co. - Boulder - #12

Burger: Flanders Burger, good flavor but super wet. Bottom bun was a loss.

Beer: West Flanders IPA. Stunning. A great West coast style!

JP - Granite City Food & Brewery - Franklin TN - #11

Burger- Bedda Chedda Bacon Burger. Please note the shit ton of unmelted Cheddar. Took about half off. Otherwise great burger.

Beer: DIPA

Jimd Smashburger CSCO #12

Incline Bunny / peak bowling alley COS/ 10/10/#10

This was a rare find .. I work for utilities and actually had to check the water meter ..the ambience of the place is only overshadowed by the tasty huge Callicrate Beef Burgers they serve ..friendly staff I will be back..

brownie/Front Range BBQ/Old Colorado City/burger #19

Incline Bunny / Lark Burger southgate COS /7/10 #10

What can I say .. Lark burger is good .. Servings are fat .. Rare as I expected I'd come back but don't think it's better than front range BBQ or noting like that !!

Anthony - Dan's Hamburgers - Austin,TX - #14

8/10 - Double cheeseburger. For what it is, a greasy spoon burger joint, these guys do it right.

HaVoCLaD - Waterloo Ice House - Town - #20

4/10

Got the works burger. Bacon, American cheese, jalapenos & grilled onions are added to their standard assortment of LTPMaK.

Burger was dry, bun crumbled. Mayo only acts to protect the bun when in small quantities, seemed like they put a quarter cup on my burger, bleh.

Fries were excellent and tots are an option.

pjtravels - MacDuff's - South Lake Tahoe, CA - burger #23

5/10. Lamb burger. I wanted to like this burger as the pub was cool, but the different flavors didn't quite come together for me. The lamb was nicely cooked/not dry, the feta gave it good flavor and the buns were toasted. However, I had a bite of the Shepard's Pie, and that was tasty. (I do recommend MacDuff's as a place to hang out with friends if you're in the area.)

Slow Ride - King's Best Barbeque - Swindon - kebab #13

8/10 King's lives up to its reputation for high quality street food at a decent price. See 'em here: http://goo.gl/maps/TAYqu and get a better review here: http://1pumplane.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/kings-best-barbecue-swindon/

This was awesome.

Running of the green crowd of rabid burger and brew folks .. This is the best burger in Denver .. Belee that !!!

Timko - Beehive - Boulder, CO - Burger #28

Free Busch/Benson's/Salida,CO/#4

Cheddar Poblano Burger

Biliruben - NYSB - JFK - NYC - #18

7 / 10

Name: Ranch House
Toppings: LOTPRC(c) + an onion ring
Patty: 8 oz medium
Taste: pretty good considering it's an airport restaurant. It also reminded me of my own adage, "ranch + mustard doesn't suck on anything"

Rayzor - Black Sheep Lodge - austin, tx - burger #10

Black Buffalo Burger, med rare, wheat bun, sweet potato fries. One of my favorite burgers in Austin, 9/10.

HaVoCLaD - Texastar Kitchen - Lakeway, TX - #19

7/10

Had the Grande Burger. A half pounder with LTOPMK.

Nice and fresh, made to order. The bun was forgettable, the fries were not. Salt and pepper crinkle cut fries really hit the spot and earned Texastsar a full bonus point.

nutsandboltons - Al Volo - London - SH#15

We ordered lunch in at the office today, and despite my misgivings about ordering a burger from an <a href="http://www.alvolo.co.uk">Italian place</a>, I went for it. This is the level of sacrifice I'm willing to make for you.

It doesn't look very good, does it? It's more of a burger calzone or burger kolache than anything else. That said, it was quite good, despite being take-out. The burger was solid and almost too thick, medium rare without me having to ask for it, and juicy. Fontina cheese was good. Pancetta was on holiday in Rome, apparently. It certainly wasn't on the burger. The crust looked overdone but wasn't. The fries were on the verge of cold, but they were still passable.

6/10 as-is.

8/10 based on how much better I imagine this would be if I ate in, but you won't catch me eating a burger *in* an Italian place. I have to draw the line somewhere.
