nutsandboltons - Honest Burgers - London - SH28

I ordered the Honest Burger at the Soho location. Nice thick patty with a solid beefy flavor (could have had a little more char on the outside, but that's picking nits), they say they cook it medium with a pink middle.  Mine was a little closer to medium well, but it was juicy enough that if I'd ordered it medium rare, the bun would have fallen apart.  Little bits of the cheese fried up nicely where it melted off the side of the burger and came in contact with the griddle.  The red onion relish and pickles added a bit of zing, and the bun was a little bit sweet and held up well under the weight of all the meat and toppings.  For such a thick (1.5") patty, this was a remarkably easy-to-eat burger.  Everything held together well without falling out of the bun or getting all over the place.  Also, the fries were fantastic - crunchier than most, but thick enough to still retain that hot fresh potatoey characteristic on the inside, not too salty, not
too bland, with little crispy bits at the bottom of the pile that reveal their secret (good clean oil at the right temp) by not having a charred taste.  My initial thought was that this burger was an 8/10, but after reading what I've written here, I'm obviously more impressed than I realized.

10/10

Rayzor - Contigo - austin, tx - burger #16

Cheeseburger, fully dressed. Really good, and I love the house made half-sour pickles, but the meat was oversalted for my taste. 8/10.

10/10 - Would eat again. Surprising for an all seafood place, but not surprising given the talent in the kitchen.

Timko - K's - Buena Vista, CO - Burger #36

6.5/10 - standard frozen patty on a flat top. Super greasy and good.

Timko - Lariat - Buena Vista, CO - Burger #35

9/10 - Unexpectedly solid burger! Nothing fancy but good. Took JT's recommendation and he steered me right.

Digger/Earl's/Nanaimo, B.C./Burger # 12

Earl's is a great place for a consistently good burger.Washed down with an Albino Rhino Lager. 8/10

Ordered some sort of hickory burger.  Thin patty, a little weak on flavor but ok.  BBQ sauce was on par with
most of the fast food places in the states, which is to say I'm very
surprised it didn't absolutely suck.  Toppings were fresh.  Chocolate milkshake was pretty terrible, but that's not what I'm reviewing.  All things considered, 4/10.

Bracket busted. 6/10

Decent for a guy dressed like a girl. Guard your backside. 7/10

Pev - Texas T-bone - CSCO - Burger#23

If you need a local burger for the challenge you better hurry up and hit this place up. With its 13 dollar burgers that are worth about 4, this place will be out of business faster than Deweys... even if they actually pay their tax bill.. I think I got boned. 2/10

Pev - Wooglins - CSCO - Burger#22

Always a solid choice. If they had fries here I'd frequent it more often. 6/10

10/10

Hadn't eaten dinner at D&B in 5 years, I didn't remember the food being all that great so I figured I might as well cross a burger off the list, amiright?

The South Philly Burger on the menu caught my eye and I asked the server who confirmed that it was really good and popular.  I'm not a big fan of weird burgers, but something about it spoke to me so I went with it.

it's pretty much just what it sounds like -  a philly cheesesteak sandwich on top of a 1/2# burger.  That's thinly sliced steak, onions, mushrooms, peppers and american cheese for those of you not in the know.

I was going to give this a nine as they deviated from the ideal philly by not using cheese wiz, but here it is a day later and I can't stop thinking about it and planning on when I'm going to have another.

That's a clear 10/10 in my book.  I'm halfway done with this challenge and this is the best burger I've had so far this year.
