The official CA Burger thread

Some great calls in here.

Barneys and In & Out are my go to places, though I've been laying off the burgers lately.

The best burger I've ever had was from Izzy's Steak and Chophouse in SF. I don't know why I was ordering the burger at an awesome steak place. It just sounded good at the time. It was really fricking good and I'd order it again. Tasted like it was made from ground filet mignon.

I'll need to try out Big Burger in Concord.

I think that the best burger in my area is from a Bar called Dillinger's. The Scarface is the best. Burger, mozz sticks, onion rings and BBQ sauce on a roasted bun.

Great Steakhouses often make great burgers. Peter Luger's has a burger to die for!

I could really go for a Dane Burger from the Great Dane pub in Madison WI.

I'm a fan of a good bar burger, or my own.

Here in NYC Jackson Hole is pretty good, but my favorite is the Beer Bar Bountiful Burger from the Beer Bar - 200 Park Ave, New York 10166
At 45th St & Vanderbilt Ave


I wish I found a place that makes this though....

The best place in Dallas, TX if you're ever here is the Angry Dog.

For national chains, I prefer Fuddrucker's and Red Robin. The Royal Red Robin goes great with a hangover!

I'll definately have to try this one. I enjoy Jakes, Snuffers, and Red Robin.

Rossi's in Chambersburg, NJ
Tumulty's Pub in New Brunswick, NJ

And for a tasty cheapie, White Rose Systems in Highland Park -- big square burgers fried on a grill White Castle style, just as greasy.

The Thurman Burger
Our head honcho overloaded with ham, mozzarella, american cheese, lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, sauteed onions, pickle, peppers, and mayo with chips and a pickle spear.


I lived in CA for about 5 years and I still dream about In-N-Out burgers,
every trip I make to CA or Vegas I always get 3-4

..... and for those who have not been make sure you know about the "locals" menu.
4X4 Animal Style is my favorite....mouth is watering....

If they ever franchise In-N-Out I am openning one at Ohio State.

Lee's Hamburgers (New Orleans area) - because they grind their hamburger meat fresh throughout the day.

New Orleans Hamburgers & Seafood

There used to be a place just down the road from NASA in Houston called the Jalapeno Tree. Their speciality was placing a jalapeno and cheese in the middle of the hamburger patty.
