No to the Foreman. Not hot enough. I use a cast iron grill pan that works great, but I don't have a vented kitchen (no window, recirculating hood), so it filled my apartment with smoke. Does anybody have any advice on avoiding this problem?

WOW! I'm so excited to see this, but there is one major flaw. Not to bash The White Spot (I've had many a late night drunken burgers there), but the best burger in Charlottesville by far is at Riverside Lunch. I feel qualified to make this statement for a number of reasons: 1. I love burgers. 2. I lived in Charlottesville from birth until 23. 3. I now live in NYC and go to all of the burger joints suggested on this site and I still can't find one to match. The White Spot is good and there is no better end to a night out then the Gus Burger, but let's face it - they use store formed crap patties that are always over cooked and really only taste good when you are drunk. Riverside Lunch is an oldschoolish burger joint where the Charlottesville townsfolk go for great burgers, really good fries, and ice cold bud longnecks. It is off the beaten path in Charlottesville and hard to find if you don't already know about it. Burger Lovers if you are ever in Charlottesville, Va this is the burger to try.
