It's SO obvious that none of you have been to Big Burger in Concord, CA.

Helvetia Tavern out in Hillsboro, Oregon. Great burgers, greater scenery (middle of farm country in the rollin' hills).

My favorite burger joint is the cast iron pan in my oven.

80/20, salt, pepper, and a 1 ounce medallion of gorgonzola embedded in the middle.

I'm ashamed to mention I like Red Robin burgers... I got on a Red Robin kick because it's totally kid-friendly and I take my boy. After a few meals there I'm converted.

Sterling Place Tavern in Buffalo, NY. The best burger on earth. Come to Buffalo and if you can say otherwise, I'll buy your burger and beers.

Its a dive, but great food and very good beers.

For a fast food style burger nobody around beats the WhiteHut in West Springfield, MA Make sure you order with fried onions (carmalized)

For a more "gourmet" burger the Blue Cheese burger from Plan B in Glastonbury, CT is the best ive had...

1 inch thick, carmalized onions, bluecheese and burbon sauce...

Some great calls in here.

Barneys and In & Out are my go to places, though I've been laying off the burgers lately.

The best burger I've ever had was from Izzy's Steak and Chophouse in SF. I don't know why I was ordering the burger at an awesome steak place. It just sounded good at the time. It was really fricking good and I'd order it again. Tasted like it was made from ground filet mignon.

I'll need to try out Big Burger in Concord.

I think that the best burger in my area is from a Bar called Dillinger's. The Scarface is the best. Burger, mozz sticks, onion rings and BBQ sauce on a roasted bun.

Great Steakhouses often make great burgers. Peter Luger's has a burger to die for!
