Burgers

this is my burger ranking of places i've been to:

1. Tornado Burger (#1 spicy) best burger i've ever had. fries are super good too. in the thin soggy kinda way.

2. In-and-Out Burger. (Cheeseburger) animal fries are off the chain. the burger is very good. believe the hype. very good very delicious and fresh. everyone remembers their first in-and-out experience. San Fran band trip. Joe Nguyen got outstanding solo for his euphonium solo in concert band.

3. Smash Burger (Create-your-own Smashburger) Multigrain wheat bun, sharp cheddar, LTOP, sauteed mushrooms. nice and juicy. fries are good.

4. Whataburger (#5 add jalepenos) You're thinking, really? i say yes my friend. whataburger is very consistent and very delicious. those patties with the cheese and bacon is simply magnificent. fries are also thin and delicious. what makes whataburger so awesome you say? it's the ketchup. best ketchup hands down you'll ever put on your food. don't know what i'm talking about? take ketchup for granted? go to your local whataburger and taste the difference. when the world goes into a global apocalypse whataburger ketchup will be the currency other items are measured against.

"how much for that blanket?"
"10 ketchups"
"i got heinz"
"don't insult me"
"del monte?"
"get outta here you're wasting my time"

5. Fuddrucker's (1/2lb the works) good bun. good burger. the bun is just crispy enough to give you some flakes, yet tender to bite through and taste the craftmanship of it all.

6. Lankford's (Langford's) i forgot what it was called, but it's this little hole in the wall with big servings and great service. i got a South of the Border Burger. That my friends means there is guacamole in it. Guacamole is said to enhance anything it touches. I think God said that somewhere. (forgive my blasphemy) But yeah the burger was big and juicy and delicious. i use these words a lot, because that's basically what people want to know. we don't want dry burgers. we barely eat. a maximum of like maybe 6 times a day if you eat small portions. ( 3 meals a day is bad btw. you should eat small meals throughout the day to keep energized) The bun if i recall was a little sweet and that made everything all the more enjoyable. fries, rings, and fried jalepeno strips were good. nothing out of the ordinary, but good nonetheless.

7. 5 Guys Burgers and Fries.(bacon cheeseburger) I don't see what the fuss is about. "oh man 5 guys rocks" "blah blah it's so fresh and delicious" i agree it was fresh. delicious? nay my friend. i went to 5 guys twice and was sorely disappointed. the burger is so bland. it's like "hey i'm just ground beef made into a patty. enjoy" no i cannot enjoy you're blandness. does your burger suck because you offer free toppings? is that how you recoop your loses? by providing trash burgers that have no flavor? are the free peanuts taking away from the chance of making a delicious juicy burger? yes, to all of the above. Enough of my burger bashing. their cajun fries are off the chain. if someone wanted to go to 5 guys. i'd go and just get these. freakin amazing.

i've obviously been to more, but these are ones that are of note. from here on out. if i eat a burger at a noteworthy place i'll let you know my review.

  1. now i don't consider myself a burger dude, but i do love me some fuddruckers when i'm in houston.

    but my favorite burger in the world is here in LA, in fact it might be my last meal (if i had a choice in the matter). they have a hatch burger (with 5 diff kinds of chillies) that from the sounds of your burger reviews i think you'll mess your pants over...
