20 Hamburgers You Must Eat Before You Die

Or should it be "20 Hamburgers that cause you TO die"? A couple of years ago, GQ magazine came up with this list. Since then, it's been on Oprah and a bunch of other talk shows. I like lists like this purely because I like food and I like lists. :-) The only one on the list I've been to is #15 "The Counter" in Santa Monica. The build-your-own-burger there IS very good, and the french fries, onion rings, and apple pie milkshake ARE delicious. Locally, a place similar to this called Cheeburger Cheeburger opened in Carmel Mountain. So a couple weeks ago, Todd and I went and tried it. It was pretty good, but it wasn't The Counter. For cheap burgers, nobody can beat In-N-Out. Of course, the burgers have thin patties there, but it's not quantity that counts, it's the quality. In-N-Out has ruined all other fast food burgers for me. I dunno if I'll get to go to any of the other burger joints on this list, but it's a fun list. And if you live somewhere closer to one of these, you should take it upon yourself to check it out and report back to me. It's a moral imperative!
