Best hamburgers in America?
Slashfood looked at the GQ list of the 20 best hamburgers in America ... and suggests that they need to add another ...
the best fast-food hamburger there is: a double-double from In-N-Out Burger, the popular California chain. Actually, with its two juicy, 100% pure beef patties, hand-leafed lettuce, tomatoes, secret spread and two slices of American cheese (not processed cheese) on a freshly baked and toasted bun, the double-double is better than a lot of non-fast food burgers, too.
"D is for Double Double and the Top 20 Burgers?" Slashfood, January 18, 2006
We think they need to add another burger from NYC ... Tony Dragonas ... also see "Make Your Own Belly Bombs, a simple instructional course" on eGullet with many pics that will make you go Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, sliders ...
It may come big and ungarnished, the East Coast ideal, tender and untroubled by bones or gristle, everything you look for in a filet mignon but seldom find. It may be the West Coast model, swelling with vegetation, brimming with health and well-being, piled high with all that a seed catalog can provide. A great burger, regardless of regional differences, instills a sense of optimism and fulfillment, that all is right at the table or the counter or the woodgrain, screwed-to-the-floor, fast-food booth.
