Man when I first read the title, I thought it was CA - California and I wouldn't get to play, then it dawned on me..

5-guys - burger of choice - bacon, fresh cut jalapenos, grilled onions, A-1 steak sauce. Need I say more?

Stake and Shake is a close second, then Wendy's.

But then are times when I gotta have a Big-Mac or some Krystals. now I'm hungry.

Hands down, it's a little local joint with three locations in Bham only. Called Hamburger Heaven. Worth trying if you get down this way.

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

5 Guys is definitely one of the best burger joints around. Here is my go to:

Bacon, jalapenos, grilled onions, lettuce, cheese, bbq sauce.

Very similar to JKim's but with BBQ instead of A-1.

Tart's Grill---A very small, of the beaten path joint run by an older lady named Betty. Best Carolina burger (mustard, onions, chilli and slaw) in this area.

Also like the Tastee Freeze burgers, but I think the last one in North Carolina closed down recently.:(

Hardees (Carl's) gets my vote for the classic lettuce and tomato burger, though. :D

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

Still don't think I can find something better than an In-N-Out Double Double, no onions ofcourse.

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

I prefer my burgers Med-Rare, so that cuts out many joints from having a decent, edible burger. Damn Food Police. My favorite joint? Mine. ;) Nothing like a half pounder, done right on the grill with anything from a Sesame Kaiser, to some great ciabatta for a roll, good cheese, anything from Blue to co-jack, thick cut bacon, or one of a hundred different toppings. The drinks are always cold, the company is great, and you can go directly to the cigar lounge after dining, if it strikes the fancy.

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

Man that sounds great right about now.

As far as Burger joints go I like In-and-out and Red Robin. I&O cuz it is fast and tastes good. RR cuz burgers are good and you can have a beer when the kids can have a shake.

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

I forgot about Krystals! Just like WhiteCastle, just without the unhappy ending. One of these days i'm gonna insist raisin make burgers, will probably be the best in Jersey lol.

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

What about Fuddruckers, that place is awesome!

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

I honestly haven't been to one since I was a kid. I don't remember what their burgers are like.

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

OOH! Good call. Fuddruckers does have some serious burgers. However, I still gotta go with the Five Guys double bacon cheeseburger.

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

I'll have to hit up a fuddruckers for lunch one of these days. Five Guys is awesome, I agree, but In-N-Out is amazing. The first thing I do when I fly out to the left coast is hit up the nearest stand! :dr

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

In-N-Out Burger
Five Guys, the burgers are overcooked but the french fries are worth it.

Re: The official CA Burger thread
 

Five guys is good, and has four midlands locations!!! You fly, I'll buy!!!

However, In-N-Out is best... I'll take mine "with".

I dream In-N-Out!
