Many of you have probably asked this question before! Well, fear not, noble Phreak, for I have a menu of places where you can grab a tasty burger to please the palate and satiate that craving!
#3: Carl's Jr./Hardee's: This widely-known burger place began as a delicious burger stop. Now a bustling burger metropolis, it offers a wide selection of different burgers, most of which include a McDonald's/Burger King/A$W rarity: mustard. The downside? Too many selections wobble their focus a bit. While their burgers are passable, none of them are remarkable in the least, and it doesn't carry a wide array of toppings like our next two choices!
#2: Fuddruckers: Step through the door into an 80's style diner and discover what a "burger buffet" is. Walk up to the register, order your burger size (comes in 1/3 pound, 1/4 pound, 1/2 pound, 3/4 pound, and the astounding 1 pounder), pick to add cheese, bacon, or other meaty toppings, decide to add fries, a soft drink, or a shake, and then grab some complimentary peanuts on the way to your table. They'll cook your burger the way you order it, and when they bring it out, you can grab it and put all the toppings you want on it form the topping bar! It includes a wide variety of conventional and unconventional toppings, from tomatoes to banana peppers! The downside? Price. There isn't one burger on the menu under six dollars, and these do not include fries or a drink. Meals are 8 dollars on up.
#1: Five Guys Burgers and Fries: My personal favorite (and apparently America's, as it has received rave reviews and several Fast-Foot awards)! Whoever these Five Guys were, they knew what was going on in burger town! First, order your burger and decide how many patties you want. Then, add cheese and bacon, and then tell them what toppings you want on your burger! That's right: they offer a HUGE selection of fresh toppings for your burger, rivaling the produce section at your local Safeway! Just tell them what you want, and they'll top it themselves for no extra charge! Why is Five Guys so good, you may ask? I'll tell you: sparsity. Their menu consists only of burgers, fries, hot dogs, and drinks, giving them plenty of time to focus on the few items they do have and make them super great! The down side? There is none! Five Guys is the nation's foremost burger joint, and has the credentials to prove it! Just check out their website: www.fiveguys.com
Bonus Burger Joint: Surprisingly enough, the most expensive burger in the world can be found at Burger King. Yes, this monolithic fast food giant has decided to live up to its name by producing the world’s most expensive burger. Simply called “The Burger,” this costly hamburger is available only at a West London branch of the restaurant. Luckily for those among you who’ll be taking your private jets to Burger King for lunch, The Burger can be pre-ordered by phone so you needn’t wait. The world’s most expensive hamburger is made, as usual, with Wagyu beef. It is also decked with white truffles, onion tempura prepared in Cristal champagne and some of Spain’s finest Pata Negra ham. All of this is presented in an Iranian saffron and truffle bun. The Burger is priced at £95 (about $186 US). While it has been derided as a cheap marketing stunt, proceeds from The Burger will benefit a local charity, Help A London Child. All things considered, I’d say it’s at least an expensive marketing stunt.
