I give him a thumbs up on the jalapenos.

medium well or medium rare...everyman to himself. Whatever it takes to enjoy your hamburger.

I was at Ray's for this - I spoke to Biden briefly, asked him what he was going to get. When he said he was getting a burger with Swiss, I pushed hard for him to add the mushrooms, which is probably Ray's best topping. He looked at me like I was crazy and didn't respond. Oh well.

My kinda Prez!

I'm hungry.

I can't get enough of Obama-burger-rama, even though I am a vegetarian! And I admire him sticking to his (albeit odd) hamburger principles: medium-well with Dijon mustard. I don't understand how anyone can order burger-like items with anything but ketchup and perhaps a dab of yellow, but he is consistent!

I love this man. Watching a president of the US on video and not cringing will never grow old. Good on him for ordering burgers for the Secret Service as well.

@eatorama: You're right. That was superfluous and bad judgment. It didn't need to be in there, and I've removed it. Burgers should unite, not divide.

Sixty Minutes showed him on his first visit to Air Force One. He ordered a hamburger the exact same way.

What is with putting up the Twitter thing. That was unnecessary. If George Bush had gone there all the leftists would be foaming at the mouth and having smoke coming out of their ears. Don't confuse a hater with someone who went to the teabag party. They were people who were against all of the thoughtless spending without a way to object to it.

Hamburgers aren't political. They probably got to talking about the best burger in town and wanted to get out and do something semi-normal for a change.

I cant believe I watched all of this...smiling like an idiot the whole time. What is wrong with me?

@Nick, I'm only 31, but it's starting to show, and my sole concession (thus far) to fighting the bulge is switching to light beer. It's not helping very much, so I might have to try it your way. My wife doesn't eat the crusts either, just because she says they aren't really pizza. I guess it's just different ways of eating pizza. Me, I always eat the crust, sometimes dipped in melted butter. Mmmm.

@larrydallas, judging by your attacks lately, you seem to have some kind of personal issue with me, so I'm just going to be the bigger person and politely ignore you from now on ;)

"Shame on you, throwing out pizza crusts.. If it's inedible, so is the rest of the pie....."

Professor ratbuddy, please continue on with your grammar lesson.

Made the drive to the South Shore to try this place and it was worth it. Going at 1pm on a Saturday the place was packed. Here is a hint, only have one person go in and order.

I had the Double Double (double cheeseburger) and my wife had the regular cheeseburger. As Nick pointed out in his article, the burgers reminded you of a McDonalds but when you bite into you can taste the difference.

The bun at All American has a nice soft and fresh taste while at McD the bun has that left out on the counter overnight type of hardness. The double double does have that perfect meat to bun ratio and the patties have that hint of fresh homemade taste.

The fries are definitely worth it. Ordered a large for my wife and I to share, we should have had a large each. Skin on hand cut fries which were right out of the fryer.

Milkshakes were just average, definitely not on the level of a Hildebrants. It lacked that homemade taste and it was similar to all the other fast food places that pour that huge plastic bag of liquid into the milkshake machine.
