Flame Gourmet Burgers in Berkeley, California
F-Berkeley. The burger doesn't look very good at all. On that note, I am tired of the fancy burger reviews. The rarest thing of all must be the $7+ burger that's actually worth it. I guess they are necessary on some level, but rather than focus on making a sandwich taste good, they usually just throw a bunch of gourmet ingredients together. Give me a simple burger any day over all of this grass fed, organic, free range whooey. And you "know" where you can shove that arugula. Go away Bobby Flay, enough with the chipotle sauce already.
Actually, I'm starting to think it has more to do with having great buns. If you have great buns you're almost there. I love this site.
Terra Burger, an All-Organic Burger Joint in Austin
$6 for a 1/3 lb organic burger isn't horribly expensive considering the cost of organic meat. I'm not so sure organic actually tastes better though. I've had the grass fed stuff, meh. There are plenty of NY joints charging way more. It does look very dry, but they can fix that.
A Boylan's soda fountain, cool... I wish I could have that in my sub shop.
Burger Thing: The Fifth Third Burger
Cincinnati chili is great. I don't know how well it goes on a burger since it would be the dominant taste, but Skyline is good stuff. I wish that burger was a little more conventional, it looks pretty cool otherwise.

I stick with medium to medium well. Ground beef is more dangerous to eat because it's ground. There may be E. Coli on the outside of the steak, but it is grilled, it's killed. E. Coli gets mixed throughout with ground beef and it makes it more difficult to kill. Many people are aware of this, but some don't get it. I think all the comments about trusting your source (local butcher) are invalid. Your local butcher can't tell you their beef is bug free, even when they are using quality cuts (unless it's irradiated, which does scare me a bit).
I've had burgers cooked rare, but I prefer medium or medium well burgers. In my case it has more to do with the grilled taste and texture. I don't care for the mushy texture of uncooked ground beef. Besides, mama always said "Don't eat raw hamburger".
