Undoubtedly the question that I most often get asked is "What is the best burger?" The simple answer to that is that not all burgers are created the same so you can't have a "best" burger. Like movies have different genres, all burgers fall into different categories. Just because a certain movie won best picture of the year doesn't mean you're going to show it at your little sister's birthday. In the same fashion, just because you enjoy a Wendy's Old Fashioned Triple doesn't mean your going to buy one for everyone at your UFC Finals party.
After years of eating and researching burgers I have come up with a set of 10 different categories that all burgers, at least in the USA, fall under. I will present the categories first then write detailed posts about each individual category.
The Restaurant
The Fast Food
The Brewhouse
The Tailgate
The Homemade
The Gourmet
The Mom & Pop
The Substitute
The Overload
The Bite Size
Of course within all these categories there are an infinite amount of styles that these burgers can be prepared. Can there really be a #1?
