They had this question yesterday on the drive home sports talk show on 610am. The rules? Eliminate chain restaurants from the equation. Who makes the best burger you have ever had?

Mine? It has to be the Black Bear Diner in Las Vegas. Off the strip hole in the wall. Bob's Big Bear Burger. Unbelievable.

Second to that is probably Pinky's here in Charlotte.

What you got?

Melvin's in Elizabethtown, NC circa 1990.

Bison at Bad Daddy's I would say, but to me, burgers are either good or bad, and there isn't a whole lot of gradation to distinguish really good burgers from burgers that are just good.

The Liberty I suppose, in recent memory anyway.

Damn I'm hungry now.

True story...Jase and I were once in Five Guys together.


The burger joint....


No seriously.

i remember those... that was a tasty burger.


i dunno about "best" but my favorites are probably the Spotted Pig in NYC and Cubbies (in the early 90s) in G-ville.

Hodad's at Ocean Beach, San Diego.

Disney World. I stop by one of their joints and paid $10 per burger... Those suckers were enormous and so juicy... Now I'm hungry...

There was a Cubbies in Wilmington when I was growing up. Never tried it. It was over by Katy's Great Eats.

I can't remember the last time I ordered a burger out somewhere but what is the place in the Charlotte airport that is failry new? I think there is one in town also. I heard a national sports analyst talking about it one day and he said that is the only place that rivaled In and Out Burger.

I would love to open an In and Out Out Burger in this area.....would be a gold mine.

That's now Wilmington Pizza or something... never ate at Cubbies myself.

Bad Daddy's sounds right. There was a line out the door last time I was there.

Wow how fugging terrible is it to not have an in n out burger, a five guys, or a habit burger on every block next to your house?

[Johnny Rockets]

And the owner of In and Out Burger is a smoking hot 30 year old billionaire. OK, maybe not smoking hot but she is very pretty and the billionaire thing makes her smoking hot.


Great...now I am hungry and horny. The cafeteria ladies at work better look out today.
