After sharing his list of Lower Alabama's 19 burgers to eat before you die, David Holloway reveals his number one cheeseburger to be from The Creekbank Restaurant in Wagarville:

It's the meat, the meat that separates a good burger from a great burger and the folks at The Creekbank Restaurant understand this simple fact. [...] They serve up a huge chunk of fresh ground beef that never fails to satisfy. [...] You can find more expensive burgers than the Creekbank's offering, but you'd be hard-pressed—day in and day out—to find one that is consistently better.

The cheeseburger is topped with lettuce, onion, tomato, pickle, and "secret sauce," and the patty is made of 81/19 ground chuck.
