2. Luger Burger, Peter Luger Steak House
Brooklyn, NY

The burger is barely notable! Lean and tasteless. Meh on the juiciness scale as well. And the service was the worst I have ever experienced in my lifetime of eating out!
This guy is a bloody hack! He probably heard that this burger was Oprah's second favorite and then he needed to jump on the bandwagon.

@JPB,


I've been to that one and it is good indeed

13. Cheeseburger, White Manna
Hackensack, NJ

The burgers here are small, and when I asked what the record was for the most eaten at one sitting, the grill cook told me that some guy had managed thirty-two. I was awed, not because somebody ate thirty-two burgers of about two ounces each but that this superhero also ate thirty-two potato rolls, and they looked full-size to me. New Jersey is one manly state. It’s also a legendary diner state, boasting some of the best in America. White Manna is a 1930s artifact with a horseshoe-shaped counter that seats twelve. In the middle of the horseshoe stands the grill cook, behaving like a sushi chef, molding, cooking, handing out the burgers. Ask for cheese and onion and the too-big roll fills up amazingly well.

Bob Dylan should write a song about this place and the one and only cheesey Western

@misanthrope,
Answering your question rather late, misanthrope -
there was a Friar's at 22nd and Santa Monica Blvd, across from St. John's Hospital, and one on Lincoln Blvd - but I don't remember exactly where.

Ahem, they also had good pie.

@tsarstepan,
Ah, I've read about Boulud's burgers..
Good NYT article about them, probably a link here on Robert's how to make a hamburger thread.

On In and Out Burgers, I've only had one once, and, sorry, eh! (Not sure if I commented on that before on this thread.)

SHAKE SHACK NEWS!

Shake Shack is expanding to Boston you lucky dogs!

So far Bostonians have mostly greeted the prospect with snark. Some said that since hometown milkshakes are called frappes, the interloper might more properly be emblazoned with the words Frappe Shack.

@tsarstepan,
Humpf! I remember the buzz about Krispy Cream donuts. They opened in Farmington some years and had lines waiting for the legendary donut. For about three days. In three months, they were gone.

Still, next time I'm in Boston or NYC, I'll give Shake Shack a fair shake. Haven't been there since June '67, but it's something to keep in mind.

@roger,
Krispy Kreme Schmooey fooey! Krispy Kreme never sold a fried portobello mushroom stuffed with muenster and cheddar cheese. Add it onto the best burger on the planet?? Heaven between two buns!

@ossobuco,
OKAY! Alright already. The last time we were at Spins was very disappointing. Next time, we'll try something else.

So then, is Spin's worth a visit or not? Dys seems to like it. Roger doesn't. I'm not clear on Osso's opinion.

In March when I and my wife go to Albuquerque, we're going to check out Manny's Buckhorn Tavern in San Antonio for their green chile cheeseburger. It's on GQ's list, and it won a throwdown against Bobby Flay on the Food Network.
