That's it. Decision made! Time to take a road trip up to SC for a little surf 'n burger. I love it when you head out of L.A. for a burger review! As someone who likes to visit California's treasure chest of towns (and a burger is the first thing I hunt down to eat when away) I'm glad you go out of your way to find a good burger so I don't have to.

Maybe I'm missing something here amidst the ranting about a "political burger review"? Lemme reread the burger review... Um, still missing what all the hoopla is about. I see factual statements and the slightest mention of what defines the American Dream. Looks like a lot of commenters forgot to put on their critical thinking caps before putting their hands on their keyboards. However, @jimmi's weirdo "grammar errors" comment puts the icing on the lunacy cake for me. I've been an avid follower of AHT (and Damon's articles in particular) because they're always meticulously written. This one is no different except for the fact that after reading the Zinburger review I suddenly had the urge to eat my own underwear for the first time rather than plunk down fourteen smackers for a pile of warm bland between two pieces of more bland. Undies sandwich anyone?

Great review as always!

P.S. Is it just me or has the Golden State burger gone down hills a bit since they first opened? I haven't been there in months but the last 3 or 4 times I went something was off.

How strange! I haven't been to The York in a few years & have no memory of their burger being good or bad. Gonna have to head over and give it a try now that you've made my mouth water over it! Love the "remembrance of things past..." I normally don't like feeling all gushy when navigating the blogosphere for my next best burger but somehow this one hit the spot. Great review!

WOW! This looks amazing! I just ate dinner and this made me hungry all over again. I used to live down the street from Röckenwagner but it was to rich for my blood. I'm so stoked now to go to 3 Square for this burger... and that crazy truffle macaroni and cheese deep-fried thingy! AWESOME REVIEW AND FIND!

I'm not sure what I find more horrifying: the plain Jane, dried out burger or the lack of French fries as a choice for a side. I've eaten here once for breakfast and found it scrumptious in that skimpy-L.A.-fancy pants sort of way. Thanks for saving me what would have proved to be a wasted trip for a burger!

I recently had a Smashburger from Umami and as it turns out I loved it! I actually prefer these to their in-restaurant burgers. Awesome review!
...partly because I agree and partly because you just alerted me to a new wine shop.

Loved this! Thanks for opening up both my eyes, my mouth and my stomach to the differences in ground beef. Almost makes me want to get down on my hands and knees in the backyard and munch on a little grass.

Um yum... and um... the photos look as though they've been ripped from the pages of Bon Appetit! Where has this burger been hiding all my life? Thanks for finding it so I can hide it in my belly.

Ok, now how about pardoning the 40+ million America without healthcare and giving us a competitive public option!

Loving the German!

Mozza has got a to go arm now that let's you taste their pizza w/o all the madness and waiting. I think it's the way to go.
