Jack's Old Fashion Hamburgers; Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Earlier this week AOL Cityguide names it as one of America's best burgers, today there's a review in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel:

... But first, put aside any haute cuisine aspirations, because what Jack's offers is honest and simple. In fact, everything about Jack's is simple, from the no-frills 48-seat pine-paneled dining room with resin-covered tables imprinted with the Jack's logo and walls outfitted with snapshots of vintage South Florida dating back to 1908, to the brief menu. ...

His restaurants, still going strong and wildly popular after 34 years, offer moist hand-pressed burgers with good beefy flavors made from inside round and brisket -- cut and ground twice daily on premises. But don't think we're talking fast-food burger pucks here. These patties aren't exactly thick, but they're not thin either. What you get is an extra-wide expertly grilled hunk of meat that's barely graspable with one hand by the time they make it to their final resting spot -- an oversize, lightly grilled, squishy, soft bun. Of course, a burger like this needs a partner. You'll want at least one order of always freshly cooked, crisp, golden brown fries with steamy, fluffy white spud interiors ($1.35).
