Krug's Tavern - Newark, NJ

http://www.krugstavern.com/
This burger was featured in the best burgers in NJ.  It was indeed a good burger, and I can't say that it was the best.  It was, however, a great road trip to inner Newark to a great "working man's pub" that I certainly never would have found without the burger.  It's a good burger, but it was a bit over cooked for my liking and I have to say the service lived up to all things stereotypically wrong with NJ!!!

Good Stuff Eatery - Georgetown, DC

Gotta say this was a HUGE disappointment.  Chef Spike's burger was quality meat that was overcooked and greasy.  I could get past that because it truly was quality meat. HOWEVER, the onion petals were drenched in grease, literally dripping.  This caused me to post my first ever YELP post to tell people not to go.  I will give props to the manager of Good Stuff who saw my post and reached out offering to send me a free meal to come back.  I have to many burgers though that need my attention in DC so I'll pass on the offer, thanks!

GREAT burger.  Not a top 10 but it's solid.  A take on a Big Mac, it's clearly a 40-napkin burger.   Worth stopping in for!

Abruzzo - Newark Airport

DO NOT EAT HERE!  What a disappointment.  This will rank in my bottom 2-3 burgers ever.
