National, and local.
Discuss.
Don't say Five Guys.

Yeah, you can't say Five Guys because that ends the discussion.
Best burger, Chain, besides 5G.... I will go with a Wendy's Triple. Used to be a BK Double Whopper, but I think they are using lesser quality ingredients any more. Wendy's is always hot and fresh and have never gotten a dud.
Best Burger, local..................... I will go with my mother's restaurant, the Crazy Lady Saloon. You can order anything on or off the menu, and if they have the ingredients in the kitchen they will make it.

Best burger local was in a little mom & pop shop in the mall in Santa Fe in the early 90s. You could see the old lady kneading bread dough and the old man carving up a side of beef in the back. Their granddaughter ran the counter. The burger was absolutely perfectly cooked with just the right toast on the bun. No condiments required. This burger occasionally haunts my dreams.
Best national chain I guess I'd have to go for ... well, I can't really pick. There are some that are good enough, I guess, but nothing that I'd think is clearly head and shoulders above the rest. Is Fox and Hound a national chain?

Went there in Memphis, but it was a B-, at best.

I guess I'd have to pick Fuddruckers. The burger itself isn't anything too special, but they do have green chillies for it which is really rare in some parts of the country and makes it delicious.

I don't think Gordon knows what a burger is.
I'd go with Fuddruckers as well, although Ruby Tuesday was pretty good last time I went to one.
The best in our area is a place called Tribeca Tavern. Lots of good burgers, with all kinds of topics. All ground fresh, so you can get them medium, like a burger should be.

I've got to get out there. Both you and my buddy Eric keep yapping about the food.
There's a burger joint in Maumee near the river that has a decent burger. It's bit thin, but the ingredients are all really fresh. It's a mom and pop joint.

This makes me think you don't know burgers. Ruby Tuesdays is asstastic.

I love me some of that 3D burger from Steak and Shake. Something about them steak burgers are soooo good.
And i have also heard Eric talk about Crazy Lady Leisher... I wouldn't mind getting out there to try one.

As to best fast food chain burger, I'd have to go with Whataburger. Although Sonic is a close second.

Sounds like a potential TKV outting.
"Outting" in the sense that I will be going outside my house, and Ronnie and Leisher will be "outted" as gay.
Just not on Wednesday... that is Mexican Day and it is always packed.
Mexican food day, that is.
I installed the wifi there so we could actually commandeer a big table and do some gaming...........

Just because you keep hoping it'll happen doesn't mean it will. Plus, as I told you before, if I was gay, I can do better than you.

Mexican food sucks. I'll grant them salsa and tacos, but the rest is just tacos in different wrappers.

Let's do this.

We'd get "looks." It's a fairly country crowd, there. Last time I was there doing a computer install (or something) some drunk at the bar said loudly to my back, "What's the computer geek doing?" I was being frustrated by a boggle at the time, and the computer geek, without turning around, said, "He's fixin' to whoop somebody's ass."
I'm such a badass. (I felt bad right after saying it because he was quiet after that)
Also I can look at the security cameras on my cell phone, since I installed that system, too.
But anyway.... I THINK there is an open port on the switch in the basement. I could run a long temp line up from there, plug in our own switch at the table, and have an actual LAN line instead of sharing the wireless.

The Mason Jar in Lambertville/Bedford/Temperance (I have no idea where one ends and another begins) off Secor has great burgers. I think they're $5 on Tuesdays. Home made burgers, not the fast food bullshit.

Burger 21 is pretty solid, as chains go.

Yeah, just checked their locations, they are still expanding out. Closest one to yall would be in Novi.
