What a great story, Nick. I, like you, prefer simplicity in my hamburgers, and your pics and commentary had me drooling.

Eat This, Not That: The Worst Foods in America
Agreed, Richard. Of course, the lack of anything groundbreaking isn't exactly a surprise, considering the author is the editor-in-chief of Men's Health. The entire published knowledge base of that magazine can be summed up in four words: "Great sex, awesome abs." Hardly innovative.
The sad thing is, they'll sell a billion of these books, because people will really want to know which ginormous-bacon-triple-cheeseburger-with-fries they can have, and still say they're "eating healthy"...

Nick...amen! I completely agree. When I want a burger, THAT is what I want...juicy straight up burger on a regular bun. Yum! Great first post! Looking forward to more.

P.S. I bet you HATE the idea of the $170 burger in London from Burger King...

Nick,
I am a retired restaurant owner, and your comments about burgers are right on the mark. Keep it simple stupid.........I made a fortune selling burgers in 8 restaurants making them the way you like them.......ground chuck (no more than 80% lean), toasted bun, and american cheese along with great crispy fries, and a setup (tomato, lettuce, and onion) on request only. All burgers were served medium rare unless requested otherwise.

Well done, Nick. Like a previous poster mentioned, I share your opinions regarding simplicity in a burger, but you articulate it prefectly. I'm looking forward to more of your reviews.

Thanks for a very warm welcome everybody, I am glad to be here.
@ foodinmouth I think that the rankings would be quite different if one subtracted veggies from the equation. Personally I have been eschewing adornments lately to get closer to the burgers soul.
@thewnyc We would love to know your impressions if you do make it back there.

Burger porn at its finest, and meant in the nicest possible way. Congrats on a great inaugural post. I'm so craving this burger right now!
