Keller’s Hamburgers – Dallas, TX
Keller’s was the last stop on my DFW burger tour at the end of September. When I read about them in Hamburger America, I’ll have to say they were high on my list of prospects, just based on the restaurant itself. When I pulled up, my expectations were matched – this place was a true […]
Maple & Motor – Dallas, TX
When I knew I was heading to Dallas in late September, I called my friend (and professional photographer) Chris Moseley, and asked him where HIS favorite burger was. He did what any reasonable person would do – created a Facebook poll. The consensus was that we should meet and eat at Maple & Motor. So […]
Kincaid’s Grocery & Market – Fort Worth, TX
Texas burgers are different. While the basic burger at most of the places I visit are based on a sixth-, fifth- or quarter-pound burger, often served as a double, the foundational Texas burger is a half-pounder. I’ll have to admit, I’m fond of the idea. Kincaid’s opened in the mid-forties as a grocer with a […]
Bionic Burger – Wichita, KS
The fourth and final stop on the Kansas burger tour – Bionic Burger. After the disappointment at Nuway, I was still hungry and we had plenty of time to kill before our flight. So I hit the Hamburger America app on my phone and looked at burger joints added by fans. Bionic Burger was there. […]
Nuway Crumbly Burgers – Wichita, KS
Stop number three on the Kansas burger tour – heading back from Winfield home – we drove back to Wichita to fly home. Nuway Cafe was the second of our pre-determined stop. I read about the crumbly burgers in the “burger bible” and was intrigued. Back in the 1930s, the founder left Iowa with a […]
The Burger Station – Winfield, KS
Once we got to the the Walnut Valley Festival, I was moderately consigned to the fact that the best food we’d have outside camp was the fair food on the midway. So while chatting with some friends at their campsite (about my preternatural fascination with cheeseburgers, among other things), one of the locals said, “Have […]
Jack’s North Hi Carryout – Wichita, KS
Last week, the answer to almost every question was, “I can’t. I’m going to Winfield.” One of few the questions with a different answer was, “would you like a cheeseburger?” “Yes, almost always.” Starting our pilgrimage to the Walnut Valley Festival, we flew into Wichita. Consulting the oracle at Hamburger America before we left, I […]
Great Southern Cafe – Seaside, FL
Sometimes you end up with a burger in an “odd” place. We went to the Great Southern Cafe in Seaside, FL, for lunch. You may, or may not, be familiar with Seaside. It is a highly planned community between Panama City and Destin on 30A. It was also the backdrop for the movie the Truman […]
Marty’s Hamburger Stand – Los Angeles, CA
Late in August, I had the chance to be in Los Angeles, for a day. With a little time to kill between meeting’s end and my flight home, the opportunity to continue my quest arose. Driving down the 405, the next logical stop was on Pico Boulevard, in West LA. Cruising east on Pico, we […]
Krazy Jim’s Blimpie Burger – Ann Arbor, MI
After Motz’s, I don’t know that I could have a BETTER burger, but I still had two hours before I flew home, so I definitely could have a DIFFERENT burger. Combining a map, where I was, and the Hamburger America app, I realized that I could make it to Ann Arbor in time for a […]
