"If your burger blogging crew ever makes it down to the nation's capital, you've gotta try Five Guys." Over the weeks, months, and, now, years that I've been plugging away at A Hamburger Today, I've probably gotten more emails like this about this regional chain than for any other burger chain small or large. And in all those months, I've never had the occasion to truck down to D.C. Instead, I've watched as the red states on the Five Guys locator map (right) grew in number and crept up the East Coast. At one point months and months ago, New York lit up red on this map, but that first Empire State Five Guys was in Schenectady—upstate and still...

Every year since the summer of 2004, a certain segment of burger-loving New Yorkers has engaged in ritualistic madness—waiting in an hour-plus line on opening day of the Shake Shack. Today was the unofficial opening, which might have explained the short line at 1:05 p.m., when the Serious Eats crew went to check things out.

What's been the cheesiest? A: Aside from you asking what the cheesiest burger joke has been? When I was younger the cable company sent the bill to Bacon Double Cheeseburger instead of Peter W. Hamburger. My family thought it was hilarious. You have to have a good sense of humor if your last name is Hamburger....

At the Carnivore Project, meaty thugs battle it out, tournament style: "The tournament will be a series of one-on-one (meato-y-meato) match-ups. Each dish has a champion, who will talk about their meat and explain why it deserves to be the Ultimate Meat. The viewing public will then decide which dish is worthier, by means of a vote." Round 1 has begun. Serious Eats site A Hamburger Today takes up the gauntlet (against lamb) for what else?...

Don't mess with Texas. And, by all means, don't mess with Texas's hamburger. A state legislator there is embroiled in a burger battle with Louis' Lunch of New Haven, Connecticut, over which state can claim to be the birthplace of the hamburger. Says New Haven's mayor, John DeStefano Jr.: "We are even the birthplace of George Bush, who wants people to think he's from Texas. So yes, the hamburger is as much a New Haven original as President Bush. Get over it, Texas."...
