Sometimes I can get the grill at home (local meat) to offer me up one that would never compare to a restaurant

This is where I'm at. With a cast iron pan and a decent stovetop it's very easy to make a proper smashburger at home.
I also can't handle the texture of ground beef at anything below well, and I don't like egg yolks, so that already disqualifies a lot of the popular, fancy pub-style burgers around here.
Home made burger. Lamb, Mild Pork Sausage mix. Cooked to med Arugula. Red Onion. Brie Cheese. Sauce I made with the fond from the patties, deglased with butter/a little red wine, blackcurrant concentrate, and a splash of mango juice. Brioche bun
I made my own on an indoor grill complete with bacon, fried onions, and a homemade mushroom sauce.
Edit: I should make my own patty sometime with onion, garlic, jalapeno and cheese mixed in.
There's a sports bar in my hometown that makes the best burgers I've ever had in my life. They're always perfectly cooked.
It used to be at the Pecos Bill Cafe in Disney World. Something about being out there and having the condiment bar...I just really enjoyed that burger in the middle of the long day.
They don't do it anymore apparently. It's just Mexican food now.
Lair of the Minotaur at Kuma's Corner in Chicago. Nothing else comes close.
Killer Burger's Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon Burger
It's not for everyone
I've had it several times and it's always 10/10
Just wish they'd get their shit together with the fries, inconsistent and forgettable
A double-patty cheeseburger from Gasoline grill. Their fries were bad tho.
Super burger in Monahans, TX. It's a banger for the money and it's got so much flavor compared to fast food chains like McDonald's or Burger King
All time fav: Homemade with a blend of seasonings cooked medium rare. Topped with mayo, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Nothing has beaten that.
Fast Restaurant: Smash burger
Overrated: In N Out. I just donβt get the love. Theyβre slightly better than McDonalds. Yes, I said it. Oh, and their fries are trash. Whataburger is much better.
Fancy: The Skirted Heifer
I feel like people saying they don't like in-n-out are just being contrarian for no reason. The fries are fresh cut, the burgers are fresh cooked and if you're going to insist that they're comparable to McDonalds, the food is 1/3 the price (and the toppings are undeniably more fresh).
I've had whataburger and I spent 18$ on what I considered to be at best standard fast food. I can get a 4x4 at in-n-out, leave absolutely stuffed for like 8$.

Any big Mac when you haven't eaten all day and McDonald's is the only quick option.
