The rage that is camel burgers hit Dubai two years ago when Arabic restaurant Local House slid a camel patty into the hollow pocket of a khameer, traditional, pita-shaped leavened bread studded with sesame seeds. This innovative burger move garnered adulation from most major newspapers around the city, with practically every article raving about a surprisingly juicy patty that grunts back at misconceptions about camel meat being tough. Would I get to ride the same juicy, fat-free, exceedingly creative camel journey that the food reporters had embarked on? More
This classic California griddled burger with the fixin's is marred by underseasoned, rather bland beef. More
In the year since LightHouse opened in South Williamsburg, I've had a series of delightful meals at their charming family-style picnic tables. Given my affection for this neighborhood spot, it pains me to say that their Everything Burger was a disappointing lesson in burger no nos. More
For thirty years, visitors to Ann Arbor, Michigan, have gone home a little sad because they know their hometown doesn't have anything quite like Zingerman's Deli. Well, Zingerman's Roadhouse might be even better. More
A pair of former Umami Burger employees have opened a knock off restaurant that shows signs of promise despite the lack of originality. More
Hero Certified Burgers is Toronto's first premium burger chain, now with 28 locations. But, for all of the energy they spend extolling the merits of their beef, they've made one fatal mistake. More
Get a solid, backyard cookout-style burger at The Lincoln Room for $5 during Happy Hour. More
An established catering company goes brick and mortar with this new restaurant. Sadly, their burger doesn't make the case for going out to eat. More
Cafe Lulu's burgers aren't bad, but they don't stand out in a city filled with good burgers, let alone a restaurant with great sandwiches and salads. More
Lola's lamb burger arrives beautifully juicy with welcome background notes of char and the right amount of salt. It's a wallop of lamb-y richness—a boon for people that love the funkiness of the animal. More
Big Smoke Burger is doing one important thing right (using fresh, good quality beef), but that doesn't fix the fact that they do the most crucial thing wrong. More
Early every Friday night all summer, both locations of Marczyk Fine Foods—Denver's premier gourmet food shop and deli—give their respective neighborhoods a little burger gift. Much more "elevated backyard cookout" than "fancy-pants burger" offering, it's a tradition the people of Denver are lucky to have. More
Despite some very good component parts, a new Los Angeles restaurant doesn't deliver a very good burger. More
A trip to Dairy Queen primarily means ice cream. And if there's a need to squeeze a meal in prior, then we can generally find a menu option that's basically a means to a soft-serve end. More
We like Rosamunde Sausage Grill for its tasty sausages and the opportunity to bring our food next door to drink beers at Toronado while we eat. We like Rosamunde even more for its Tuesday-only burger special. It's a hefty patty with big grilled flavor that seems a bargain at $6. More
Allen's makes some of the biggest and best burgers in Toronto, made from Angus beef that's butchered, ground, and hand-formed on site. More
The irrepressible Susan Feniger builds a burger that shines as brightly as she does. More
If a truly exceptional restaurant puts a burger on its menu, they should be able to execute it exceptionally. You may not venture into East Cobb specifically for the burger at Seed Kitchen & Bar, but it's a damn great option once you're here. More
Don't ignore this little dive bar and their chili burger made with a signature 30-year-old recipe. More
A Belgian beer house serves up some seriously tasty burgers to pair with your brew. More
If you want a pouch of potato sticks, you can visit pretty much any fast food establishment on the planet. But if it's lunchtime and you want to put a ring on it, you've got to plot out your run a bit more carefully. The ring's the thing that decides many a burger destination. More
The burger at Boulevard, a James Beard nominee for Outstanding Restaurant, sure looks pretty on the plate. But Kobe beef once again proves to be an imperfect choice for making burgers. More
Burgers at Davanti Enoteca have a lot going on, including bacon jam, aioli, and griddled cheese curds. More
After years of searching for a decent burger in an airport, a diner in Newark finally delivered the goods. More
I've always been vaguely aware that Delaware County—just west of Philadelphia—was a goldmine of old school hot dog and hamburger joints. Although I've had some good dogs out here, for the most part the hamburgers haven't knocked my socks off. But Charlie's, a tiny bare bones shack on the side of the road that's been recommended to me about a zillion times, is the real thing. More
While Boulder Junction is far from a top burger in the city, it's still pretty good, especially considering there aren't a ton of other noteworthy burger places in Brookfield. More
Take a blend of short rib, sirloin and skirt steak, grind it in-house, allow a thick crust to form without overcooking, top it with some excellent bacon from Gunthorp Farms, a robust cheddar from Wales, and some lightly fried onions, and you're going to understand what kind of quality justifies a Michelin star. More
I'm not so much enamored of The Escondite's whole "secret" restaurant thing. It's such a transparent coolness-grab that it seems vaguely untoward. That said, I've forgiven more than one "secret" burger for the simple reason that they were absolutely delicious. I headed downtown to The Escondite with the hopes that the outcome would be the same. Oh, how sad it is to have one's burger hopes dashed. More
After finally making my acquaintance with US Cafe, I'm not ready to anoint them with any "Best Of" titles, but I'll admit that they've carved out a nice little niche for themselves within the city's burgersphere. More
North Shore Burgers won't win any points for originality, but they do make a good burger if you order correctly. More
