BURGER!! BURGER!! BURGER!!

A hamburger (or burger): A sandwich consisting of a cooked ground meat patty, usually beef, placed in a sliced bun or between pieces of bread or toast. Hamburgers are often served with various condiments, such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish etc. as well as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and cheese.



Nutshell - This whole thing started with two guys who enjoy the simpler things in life, such as a good burger. At one point we thought it would be fun to rate the places we go to.

Here is the breakdown:

Each month we will take turns picking places to go, and judge the overall quality of the burger experience from a set of criteria. This criteria is listed chronologically by importance beginning with burger quality. In the end, each place will be given an over all "burger rating" ranging from 1 to 5, with 1 basically saying "you couldn't drag my stinking bloated corpse in there again" to the highest number, 5 being " holy fuck, i think we just hate angel meat, can we go to hell for that?"

A breakdown of the criteria:

1) Burger Quality:

Toppings to Burger Ratio: "I know deep down below the 6 TONS of toppings a burger wants to come out."

Burger Control (temp): mmmmm. hot burger juice....

Burger Stability: How well does that thing stay together when you bite into it? does it hold strong or are you eating your burger with a fork by the end of the meal?

The Fill Factor: If you're walking away feeling like you could put another burger down, you just got the burger screw job and should demand your money back.

Cruelty Factor: It is good to know that your meat came from a slaughter house whose employees are required to spoon with the cows before they kill them.

Condiments: How good were the toppings?

Burger After Effects: How do you feel after slugging that puppy down? Are you gleefully full, rubbing your slightly extended tummy like a jolly little Buddha, or are you trying not to puke from the burger after taste you keep burping up every 30 seconds?

2) Fry Quality: The perfect accompaniment to any burger, a complete necessity and one that could easily enhance or destroy the burger experience!!


3) Price: Pretty straight forward - was it worth the money??


4) Ambiance / Service: What was the joint like? How was the service?
