Did Robb Walsh Find the Best Burger in Texas?

You people are why I love A Hamburger Today. I was so hungry when I first saw that luscious blue basket.

My friends and family have appreciation, but not the deep rooted passion I find here. The only mistake I've made on my burger endeavors has been not to take pictures to share the wealth.

Ad for Burger Cooker

Contrary to the Grub Street author's rips, I like this CL post, but I guess they did too? ...Or did they. I haven't had the privilege of partaking in my favorite carnivorous habit at any of the 3 spots noted, but if you're from the area and serious about burgers...and want this job, you should know. As for the degree comments, I see nothing wrong with being educated, sanitary, and understanding proper food presentation. Of course you don't need a degree to satisfy any of these examples, but, that'll be your case to argue when submitting your own resume. Whether you agree with me and NETFLIXNEWYORK or the original Grub Street writer, it's an authentic Craigslist post and the reason the site works. Great find Adam!

Way to go on the Father's Office comment...

In New Brunswick, New Jersey, Stage Left Makes Burgers from Steak Scraps

Excellent Cheeseburger. One of the top 5 that I've eaten so far in my 29 years. The one catch when I was there, was that they would only serve/sell you a burger from the bar...as it is a nicer eatery.

I dine at Le Tub every few months and have to say their sirloin cheeseburger is the real #1. I'll send in a few pics soon to show y'all the beautiful decor.

...sounds like this Bostonian is frozen over from the recent snow. I do agree that they don't have the best burger ever, but Sullivan's is worth a stop.

Nowhere I've tried yet can touch Le Tub though...I'd say Father's Office and Stage Left have been the closest so far.

What's your opinion on Mr. Bartley's?

@mmakis: My motto is "ABS: ALWAYS BE SHOOTING"! Carry your camera everywhere and shoot all your burgs.

That tomato looks soggy.

I'm all about vegetables today, sorry.

Don't get me wrong Lauren..I would rather spend my cash at Sully's over the big chains and a host of well known lameburgers here in Las Vegas. The 'thang is, a joint like Sully's can adapt and improve while most if not all others will remain the same. I don't like alot of lettuce on my burger anyhow...
Cheers, TB.

TB, many places in NY charge for "deluxe" burgers, which usually means lettuce, tomato, and fries. Sully's gives you the fries and one free cheese but charges for lettuce and tomato. Whatcha gonna do?

I stand by my assertion that this place deserves a try. The burger is unique and most of the time quite delicious. Then again, it's a small joint, and I don't mind having it to myself.

The joint in the pic sure has that bluesy cool burger joint vibe goin' on. Sounds like the burger doesn't stand up to the vibe though. Charging for lettuce on a burger? They must really care about thier customers.
Cheers, TB.

I used to live next door - in that brick building you can see in the picture.

I am going to stick up for their fries, big time. Despite being basically wedges, they are never overdone on the outside, and never underdone on the inside. They are also exceptionally good at hanging on to salt - and I like my fries salty.
Their entrees are a mixed bag, but their tips and cajun items are pretty good and a pretty good value (for the area). Plus, you can get a pie afterwards at Petsi Pies across the street,

On the down side, they charge you a quarter if you want lettuce on your burger...jerks.

@Relish - That's why they make chocolate and vanilla, my grandfather used to say. Your opinion is definitely appreciated, although I can't believe anyone actually likes KFC's potato wedges. I'll have to check out Eagle's Deli again next time I'm in town.

@mmakis - Mr. Bartley's was a favorite of mine when I worked in Harvard Square, but I think I liked the crazed atmosphere more than the burgers themselves. It's definitely on the list of places to revisit, as my travel budget permits.

@anntr - Do you know Pete?! Ask him about Sully's veggie burger.

Sounds like you continue to torture yourself by visiting this site. Take the plunge...everything will be ok. You know you want it.

I actually do live right next door to O'Sullivan. And I am a vegetarian. But, through my window, I can smell the meat cooking all day every day, and it is torture.

I had Bartley's a few months ago while in Boston. The place was packed. The burger menu is a bit overwhelming however I decided to go classic...lettuce, tomato, onion and american cheese. I really thought it was a flavorless burger. Maybe I didn't enjoy it much because I was drinking guinness all day and the place does not have a bathroom.
