I should celebrate it with a burger with an ungodly amount of cheese.
I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
A friend of mine's dad founded it, actually. He didn't feel like franchising, so sold it to someone who was interested in doing so.

Cheese skirt is great and absolutely worth checking out. The patties themselves fall into the "good end of standard" range, I think? Mind you, I think I've only gone to the food truck and airport locations, so it might vary in actual sit-down.
Out Folsom way, personal "best" burger in my opinion is Marly and Moo - rather expensive, though. No picture, sorry.
My favorite burger in Austin is at HopDoddy. Farm to table, locally sourced, hipster food trends blah blah blah, but damn if the meat and bun aren't just about the best around. The fries and milkshakes are really great too.
However, the single best burger I've ever had was in Ft. Worth, at the Love Shack. The Dirty Love Burger is just out of this world. The patty is half ground beef and half brisket, and it has bacon and a fried quail egg, which is the perfect size for a not-monstrously-big burger.
The Love Shack is owned by Tim Love, semi-celebrity chef, also responsible for Lonesome Dove, where I had the best meal I've ever eaten, hands down. At the time, I got emotional about how good the salad was, to give y'all an idea of how good the whole meal was.
I love this thread cause food porn. I hate this thread cause the food porn is never from someplace local.
The only solution is to start posting food porn from your local places and make the rest of us jealous.
Which, admittedly, isn't really a solution to the problem, but it might help you feel a little better.
With thanks to @Mojo_Jojo, I can now shill What's Beef of Muenster/Dusseldorf/Frankfurt, Germany that makes good burg, has decent fries and their home made lemonade is nice.
Also Nutella Milkshakes are god-tier.

I'm currently in Atlanta and wanting a good burger. Anyone have any suggestions? I didn't see Atlanta previously mentioned, but I may have missed it.
Shit there's a lot of damn good burger fare in my town...I may have a lot to contribute to this thread soon.

Consider this menu item at The Old Homestead Steakhouse in NYC:
14 ounces of grade 5 kobe imported from japan, wrapped around a black and blue seared 4 ounce sirloin medallion.
Served with a housemade sake onion ketchup, miso & ginger aioli and a side of tater tots.
81 dollars.

My favorite joint in the Kansas City area was Blanc Burgers and Bottles, but it unexpectedly closed up a couple of months ago, now my preferred spot is Brgr Kitchen. They have some rather off the wall combonations, but most all of them are various levels of delicious, my current fave is the "Fast Cow":
It's their hand ground beef blend with a coffee spiked seasoning rub, Wisconsin blue cheese, buttery onions, bacon, arugula, a rosemary spread and served on a toasted english muffin.

Point of order: "Grade 5 kobe" is not a real term. It's wagyu beef that's been assigned grade 5. Pretty comparable to "Grade A beef" in the US. It's not kobe. If you're eating it in America and you didn't pay like a thousand dollars, you're not eating real kobe. It's all just weird marketing shit.
Edit: Further, only 3000 head of cattle are Kobe in Japan. There is 0 chance your ground beef burger came from them. However, kobe is not trademarked outside Japan, so you can just call whatever the fuck you want "kobe" in the US.

That's baller, even if the cow did not get back rubs and serenades before being butchered.

Sure, but "We wrapped some Grade A beef around a steak" is something I expect from Carl's Jr. And thus the only way a fancy restaurant can get away with it is including the, unsupported, word "kobe."
What is this I don't even.

The A5 grade Japanese Black Wagyu cattle is fed only good quality grain (corn and rice straw) and raised with scrupulous care.
Particularly good balance of fat, extremely smooth texture, and juicy flavor spreads out in the mouth. These are the unique character of WAGYU A5, the highest quality Japanese beef.
In particular, Japanese A5 waygu has very different characteristics to American beef, mainly in the excessive marbling, which translates to a fatty as all getout cooking process and juicy burg.
You can also acquire 15 pounds of it for 649. I assume a restaurant pays less per pound than I would, and that comes out to about 40ish dollars a burger, so the costs make sense.
I mean, I am not rushing to defend this 81 dollar burger, but Old Homestead is one of the best steakhouses in the city, and you just sound like someone who saw a bit on John Oliver and want to trash a thing that seems to be well regarded because its not the one true thing, though it is significantly higher grade than Carl Jr's.
c'mon buddy, Burgs are a thing of harmony. Nobody needs to trash a burg, all burgs are beautiful.

I don't watch John Oliver, so I take affront at the accusation that this is something I'm not a pedantic ass about ALL THE TIME. Because it is and I am.
It was on that Food Network show "Burgers, Brew and Que"
It only has one burger that I can see on its menu, but i'm willing to give it a try, as it did look pretty good on the show. Plus I love restaurants with overlooks.
OK, I had to bring this thread back in order to talk about the place I went down in Florida (Yeah, same town where the place I mentioned in the opening is). I went to a place there called Boulevard Burgers and Tap House. https://blvdburgers.com/
I have to say it was pretty good! Definitely going there again whenever I go back. Shame I couldn't get any of the family to go along. What's good there? Just order the burger, anyone! I'm pretty sure it's one of the best on the beach. These have these fries that are sort of quasi-curly, and pretty thick, very good (as I have found it difficult to find really good fries at that beach.)
Ok, bringing this thread back because I just had lunch at the Thurman Cafe in Columbus. Good burger there, though the choice of mozzarella for the cheese wasn’t as good as it could have been, but the hand-cut fries were great!
Edit: I keep trying to post a picture, but apparently it’s too big.

This is my current pick- fried salami, capicola and hot peppers on top:

Someday I'm going to go to California and then I'm going to have a fuckin heart attack due to all the burgs slathered in cheese that i have to eat.
Post your local burgs there's actually a chance I could hit em up some day rather than all these Cali burgers.
Yes, drive to Greenville SC. The restaurants and burgs there are worth the trip.
there are no local burgs around my area (well, one where I used to live that was incredible). Just fast food, chain restaurants, and standard fare
That doesn't help me. I am leaving to go back South tomorrow.
