My question is, is it truly worth a 5 hour drive to eat this hamburger?

I guess it depends on how much you value your time, but I'd have to go with no.
5 hours round-trip, or each way?

It had better feel like you're getting a blow job while you eat it. Otherwise, not worth it. I've had some damn good hamburgers, but none that made me think, "That was worth the 5 hours in the car."

If you are going 5 hours, you aren't getting the best burger. The best burger is only about 3 hours round trip from you. 5 hours would include sitting and watching a whole movie.

If you are talking about my invite, then you are about 1.5 hours away from it. And, they play movies on the TVs hanging on the walls. Bring the family and hit the Zoo afterwards. That way, it's not just a trip up for a hamburger.

The best burgers in the world no longer exist.
There was this place in the mall in Santa Fe that had the best burger in the world. Â It was not a chain restaurant and was a bit out of place in a mall food court. Â It was called Pop Pop's Burgers, and all they served was burgers. Â Your order was taken by a young woman, and in the back you could see a little old lady rolling bread dough and a very old man hacking at a side of beef with a cleaver. Â The burger was thick and juicy and full of flavor and cooked perfectly - mostly light grey with a bit of pink and just a hint of blood; of nice firm consistency throughout - and the bun was marvelous. Â They had a full range of basic condiments, but Pop Pop would frown at you if you started piling on too much crap that would distract from the delicious meat. Â If you asked for BBQ or A1 or feta cheese or any silly crap like that the little old lady would tsk tsk, clearly disappointed in you. Â Green chilies were the only condiment they carried that some people might consider unusual, but that's only because everyone in New Mexico offers green chilies (even major chains).
Only once did I see Pop Pop lose his temper with a foolish customer, but the guy had it coming for asking if they served veggie burgers. Â They didn't serve veggie burgers. Â They didn't serve fries, or onion rings, or chicken sandwiches, or any of that shit. Â Just the best burgers in the world. Â Although you could get a soda with it if you wanted.
I used to drive over from Los Alamos once or twice a month just for a burger (about an hour one way). Â I was devastated when they closed up shop. Â I quickly moved out of state in protest.

The best pig in the world in about 90 minutes one-way from my house... I wouldn't drive there just to get it though. Fortunately, my parents still live in that town, so I get back there often enough (and take a few pounds home for later)
