The Best and Worst Burgers According to Yahoo! Health

YAY for INO Protein Style. Too bad I can't bring myself to order one. Too addicted to the regular single cheeseburger animal style. As far as the "worst list" goes, I never go to those joints anyway as I have any joint that the name ends in y's or i's on my "auto-ignore" list.

Fast Food: Qdoba Mexican Gumbo Stretches the Definition of 'Gumbo'

Not surprising considering Qdoba is owned by Jack in the Box. Dintcha' know? They brought back meh-xy! Soon they will refine to a tee boh-ring!

Sauced: Fresh Thai Sriracha

@Lorenzo ~ because the stuff is so good is the reason to try and duplicate it. Sriracha is relatively easy to do and I think its just plain fun to tinker with stuff like this in the kitchen.

Reality Check: The Big America Burgers at McDonald's Japan Are Back (and Bad As Ever)

Just goes to show that no matter where in the world you live, you are entitled to the same level of crappiness that we here in America are accustomed. I like the Japanese take on McD's...like putting spinning rims on a Ford Pinto.

Los Angeles: El Taurino's Salsa Rojo, Better Than the Actual Tacos

Too bad the joint's salsa outshines the taco's. You just had to mention al pastor dintcha'. Now I'm jonesing for an al pastor fix!

Reality Check: Burger King's BK Toppers

Gotta wonder if the marketing hacks at BK have ever been to a BK and tasted the burger. I think not, and if they have, thats even more reason to fire them.

Dallas: Jake's Hamburgers Deserves its Stellar Reputation

Nice going Ewan but thats not my burger. I don't care for poppyseed buns or mayo only and no onion or pickle. I'd scroll down a few tic's on the menu to the regular double cheeseburger that has mustard. Looks like they also have a burger topped with fried jalapeno chips. Now thats what I'm talkin' about! I agree Ewan, best that this joint is not too close to home or else I could possibly be a bar stool there.

On another note, my dear sweet wife discovered a joint a few weeks ago up on 380 just east of Denton. Earl's Grocery & Gas. Part convenience store, part liquor store, part gas station, part burger counter. Awesome! Go for the burger and definitely try the deep fried pickles.

Video: Behind the Scenes at Prime Burger

Loved the clip. Had a Scorsese feel about it so much so I was waiting for Di Nero and Pesci to roll in and rough somebody up. Is the joint past its prime? Maybe, but I suspect that no matter the food, people go to the joint for more reasons, such as the people working there and the comfortability of the joint. Looks like my kinda place.

San Diego: Pigging Out at Carnitas' Snack Shack

Great job Erin. The melted cheddar on that burger looks absolutely perfect and the whole 'thang screams EAT ME!! I can also relate to eating something so good that it welcomes a round of swear words. Just the other day I was eating a mom & pop burger so good I was surprised and caught myself saying holy #@$&!!!

Tipping for Carry Out?

I went and got a couple combo plates to go from a local tex-mex joint down the road as the wife and I were moving into our new house. After they took my order they directed me to a table by the door and wanted to give me complimentary chips and salsa and a soft drink while I waited. I declined the invitation but the fact that they even suggested it more than warranted the fiver I tipped for the friendly service.

Dallas: A Revolution Worth Fighting For at Liberty Burger

Meat from Dallas' "prime meat purveyor". Exactly who is that? This joint strikes me as a cross between Kenny's Burger Joint and Scotty P's but with more hippy factor. This joint can't really be in Texas...not one jalapeno to be found anywhere on the menu.

Fast Food: McDonald's Chicken McBites

The location of the nugget on the chicken eludes me. They are tasty little tidbits to be sure but I had to quit eating them when I discovered I was growing a 3rd nipple.

Yesterday, In-N-Out in Sydney for One-day Pop-up Event

Probably best not to expand INO to the Aussie's. They'd ruin a perfectly good double double animal style with beet root.

Video: 'The Perfect Hamburger' by Former Top Chef Contestant Fabio Vivani

Never seen this cat before but from watching that all I can say is that the interwebz don't have enough data storage to contain the amount of FAIL in that video. From the handling of the meat and the lack of cleanliness to using ketchup and the wimply (yes, this guy warrants a new word) use of a wooden spat. Who uses a wooden spatula on a burger? Wimps! Thats who! Even Mother Teresa would bitch slap this guy!

Who Was First In Line at Steak 'n Shake's Grand Opening in NYC?

Impressive but not near as big a hulabaloo as the opening of first Texas In-N-Out in Frisco. Crazy I tells ya', crazy. In other news, its lunch time and I need to get my Whataburger groove on. Anyone want anything? I'm buying.

Reality Check: Jumbaco from Jack in the Box

Looks like they ripped off the concept from the McDonalds McGangbang.
McChicken between 2 Cheeseburgers off the dollar menu. True story.

Sauced: Hoisin Sauce

Hoisin is fantastic on grilled shrimp and salmon. Hoisin, duck confit, scallion and cream cheese tortilla's will make you see God.

Wendy's Testing Premium 'Black Label' Burgers in Wichita and Columbus

@CandiRisk ~ I actually thought of Carling Black Label as well. Now I'm feeling really old for having remembered it.

Wendy's Testing Premium 'Black Label' Burgers in Wichita and Columbus

Black Label? Not a label I find appetizing for a burger. I think Black Label > black death > pestilence > evil scourge...wait! Hold the presses! Its Wendy's all new DEATH BURGER!

New York's First Steak 'n Shake Opens Tomorrow

Here where I live in Texas we have the big 3 joints, INO, Whataburger, SNS, 5 Guys, Mooyah, and a few others all within a mile or less. By far the busiest joints are INO, Whataburger and SNS. When last year we moved back to Texas from Las Vegas, we ate at SNS 3 times and Whataburger twice. Since INO got here though,12 visits to INO, twice to Whataburger and no visits to SNS. Still, SNS makes a pretty good fast food style burger. I hope they do well in NYC.
