Time for another trip to Listburg, boys and girls. All aboard the beef train! —The Management

Ed Levine, aka "The Missionary of the Delicious," known for such books as New York Eats, New York Eats (More) and for his various best-of pieces for the New York Times (best pizza, hot dogs, ice cream, etc.), offers up his own Top of the Pops New York burger list on his blog. They are:

1. Peter Luger: "But only when they can figure out how to serve a burger medium-rare."
2. Shake Shack: "I know it's a cliche, but nobody gets the bun to meat ratio right except these guys, and that salty crust is so damned fine.... "
3. Telepan: "Where Bill Telepan is now serving that great burger he perfected at The Judson Grill...."
4. Prime Burger: "Tell them to make it from scratch, and don't waste any calories on the french fries...."
5. The Good Fork: "Great burger in Red Hook, but alas, only fair onion rings."

Be sure to click through for Mr. Levine's honorable mentions....
