Atlanta: Don't Call It Cinderella; Cheeseburger Bobby's Is Ready to Play with the Big Boys

I still like Fuddrucker's better than Cheez Bobby's. Fudd's has a nice salad (for my spouse), better buns, and a larger selection of toppings.

Los Angeles: 'Iron Chef'-Winning Burgers at LA Market Do Best With Excess

You can get about four In and Outs for the price of one LA Market burger, and you wouldn't have to put up with the phony pretense of the hotel restaurant and its occupants.

Chain Reaction: Fuddruckers

We go occasionally because you can get a decent salad (which my spouse loves). I do believe they are better than 5 Guys, certainly with a larger selection. The condiment bar is also a plus.

Philadelphia: Almost Phenomenal Cheeseburgers at Good Dog

Undercooked to you looked about perfect for me. I have been going to Good Dog for a few years now whenever I'm back there. I love the buns and the fries are wonderful. Ranks up there with the best in Philly (which is Charlie's in Folsom).

Milwaukee: Solly's Grille Serves Butter...Oh, and Burgers, Too

Nothing else like a Solly's burger and a Sprecher root beer followed by the chocolate malt. It's been 3 years since I've been back there and your pictures made me hungry.

Video: 'New York Times' Visits Ann's Snack Bar in Atlanta

I have visited Ann's since 1975 with my good friend HL Long. Burgers are outstanding. You have to get there either before 11:30 or after 1:30 or you will wait. I hope that if she does sell, whoever buys is able to keep the same menu and quality.

Serious Eats Staff Picks: Favorite Chocolate Candy Bars

It hasn't been mentioned, and they are hard to find, but Nutrageous Bars from Hershey are outstanding - has all the ingredients you'd want in a candy bar. Since I grew up near Hershey, PA I'm partial to anything Hershey's.
Another that you seldom find - but it's a "premium" bar is Hershey's Golden Almond - think a Hershey's regular almond but in a larger, richer bar.

USA Today's '51 Great Burger Joints'

Typical of these "Top Ten (or whatever) Lists," there is always differing of opinions. Before anyone gets too excited, just remember that you have to consider the sample size and the source. I personally can't fathom 80% of what's on this list - but then I calm down and realize my own premise - who's doing the sampling, and the size of the sample. For example, in GA - I go through Gainesville and never heard of the Collegiate Grill. I'll have to try them, but there are many more places I would recommend before this one until I do.
Also, remember that every paper or magazine or blog has its own lists and biases and this is just another of the many.

Cheese Sauce for Cheese Fries and Nachos

You want a better recipe for a multi-purpose nacho, burger, fries cheese sauce - and it's easier to boot:
1 - 16 oz block Velveeta
1 - can Ro-tel tomatoes

Dice Velveeta, place cheese in a microwave suitable bowl. Add Ro-tel tomatoes. Microwave on medium, stirring occasionally until smooth and creamy and hot. Enjoy!

Obama Treats Russian President Medvedev to Lunch at Ray's Hell Burger

WGAF what Nobama eats and where he goes? I'm surprised he didn't take Medeved to some fru-fru joint in Georgetown where they could share a smoothie with two straws. Give me a break.

Top 10 Best New Burger Spots from 'Bon Appetit'

Too many "fancy" places with high price tags and overly-hyped underly-tasting burgers. BUt I come to expect that from Bon Apetit. Give me a juicy non-pretentious burger from a joint anyday.

Poll: When Did You Start Loving Burgers?

When I was a kid, I was a terrible eater - disliked all veggies and even most of what my mom cooked. Cereal and burgers and milk were the extent of my diet. I was just shy of being anemic - so my pediatrician said to let me eat as much of what I liked (no junk foods) to see if I would avoid any drastic health issues. I settled on burgers, burgers, and burgers. My folks called me "Wimpy" after the cartoon character. But my love of burgers had begun. Now I have a balanced diet but still love the burgers after 50 years - although can't have as many as I would like.

Another Arizona Near-Miss Burger: Zinburger in Phoenix

Someone above also said earlier that people were very opposed to this law. But most surveys show that 65% are in favor of it. Also, along with LA's posturing, the LA Times survey showed that 93% of the people thought the city of LA should just "butt-out" of the controversy.

A personal note: my son-in-law is from Mexico, is now a US citizen, and is extremely uset w/ the illegal situation in that it cost him over $20,000 to become a citizen and these people just come across w/ no legal ramifications.

If Nobama would just follow the law instead of trying to attract votes, we'd be better off. Then the whole AZ situation would never have occurred.

Another Arizona Near-Miss Burger: Zinburger in Phoenix

Just to clarify: illegal aliens are required to carry in their possession their Permanent Resident Card or Alien Registration Receipt Card; or, a foreign passport; or, Employment Authorization Document which contains a photo. These PAPERS are required by existing federal laws and now by the new AZ law. This is true for Canadians, British, or any other nationality entering the US, including Mexicans. And please inform me of any country which doesn't require PAPERS of traveling visitors (usually in the form of a passport).

Anyone up to this challenge? Answer these two questions: What does the AZ law do differently from enforcing current federal law? and, where does it say that people are required to do anything differently from current federal law?

This whole thing is blown out of proportion when all AZ was trying to do was get the feds off their PC butts and enforce the law. When AL Sharpton and Jesse Jackson get involved, you know it is beyond any sensible frame of reference. Nobama postures about the law, Holder admits he hasn't even read it, and LA and SF threaten a boycott. BFD - just enforce the current law and none of this would have even occurred.

Another Arizona Near-Miss Burger: Zinburger in Phoenix

You say you're not jumping into a political discussion, yet you start one nevertheless. AZ's new law mirrors the federal law which requires, by the way, aliens to carry PAPERS. Get off AZ - they're only trying the feds to do what they are legally supposed to do.

AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat La Frieda Burgers

Grilled, pink in the center, cheese melted on top, good fresh bun. Toppings vary w/ the mood I'm in.

Chain Burger Brackets: Wendy's vs. Steak 'n Shake

I'm surprised the vote is relatively close. Anytime fast food (Wendy's, in this case)goes up against a sit-down restaurant (steak and Shake, albeit a chain) it should be a no-brainer. Also, dining on china vs. paper bags is another negative.

Chain Burger Brackets: Smashburger vs. Steak 'n Shake

Who chose the competitors and their placement? It's hard to compare a Krystal w/ Whataburger and if you moved them around the results would be alot different. This is not like the basketball bracket. For example, Whataburger might not beat Sonic, but would beat Culver's. Similar burgers should compete against their counterparts - then move on to further burger competition.

Atlanta: Ann's Snack Bar

Started going to Ann's in the late 70's w/ a co-worker when we worked in that side of town. Always a great burger. Too bad the wait is long. You need to get there before 11:30 for lunch if you don't want to wait forever. I wish I could get back down there more often for lunch. Best burger in ATL.

Flip Burger Boutique in Atlanta: Flavorful and Well Crafted

I've commented before on Flip, as I visited there right after it opened a year or so ago. I find it too pretentious in the yuppie tradition of midtown ATL. I want a good, solid burger and I get the frou-frou all the way from the furnishings to the metrosexual wait staff. Plus when it's crowded with even more yuppies and the self-centered attitudes that accompany them - it is too much for this country boy to handle.
Give me the Vortex, or Five Guys or Bobby Cheeseburgers for a good burger, fries and shake. I'm still trying to figure out who would want a chpcolate mole shake with nitrogen and the $8.00 price tag or a $33.00 burger that 99% of people couldn't tell you it was made w/ Kobe beef or even further, that it was BETTER than a good $5.00 burger from Fuddruckers.

AHT Poll: Ketchup on Burgers: Yea or Nay?

IMHO - Depends on the burger. Some, like Steak and Shake lend themselves to ketchup, whereas an In and Out are already decorated with their special sauce. In an upscale burger, I'll try it plain and determine the accoutrement after a sample taste. Still, in others, ketchup doesn't do anything - such as chile cheeseburgers. Until I determine what's needed (or not) I lay off the ketchup. And at the risk of starting an argument - RARELY is mustard considered as an add-on.

Going to the Source at Cube in West Hollywood

After having seen the earlier pic of the Cube burger, I was hoping for an autopsy shot. WOW! That is one fine looking burger. I'm glad the review was just as positive. My next LA visis is definitely going to include the Cube.
