The New Brewery - Kingston, TN
You pretty much have to see it to believe it. Queen or King of Dive bars- this place takes the cake. That's all I can say. Besides the fact that there is a huge No Smoking sign on the door as you walk in, there is an ashtray on every table and everyone at the bar is smoking! An adventure for sure. I can't even comment on the burger!
Jake's Wayback Burgers - West WIndsor, NJ
Just a decent burger. We got the "cheesy burger" which only means they butter andn grill the bun and then invert it to put on top of the burger. While good, it 's makes it REALLY greasy. A good give though in a pinch.
The Spence - Atlanta, GA
This is a Top Chef Richard Blais restaurant. It was EXCELLENT! I went during a leadership forum with my good friend John. Two people 4 entrees and 3 apps and/or sides....not kidding. We ate A LOT!! And all of it was good. It's a great place to check out if you find yourself in Atlanta!
Umami Burger - Santa Monica, CA
I got to share this treat with my UCLA colleague. We ordered all sorts of fries in many combinations- order the truffle fries- they win! We ordered the truffle burger and the classic burger and split them. Gotta tell ya that the classic wins hands down. It's a bit of a wait to get this burger, and it was good, but I'm not sure I'd wait again for it again. It was good, but there are to many great burgers out there to wait in line again!
West Rib Pub - Talkeetna, AK
This is a "Man vs. Food" TV site. A 5lb. elk burger was to much to go after so we stuck with the regular burgers. It was good, not great, because it was overcooked. The parmesan garlic fries made up for any issues with my burger!
Mt. McKinley Princess Lodge -Talkeetna, AK
It was a bit overcooked and I managed to get over it because I had great friends and an amazing view on McKinley from the deck of the lodge restaurant. Fun place to stay and the town of Talkeetna is a throw back to good 'ole American living.
Kennicott Glacier Lodge - Kennicott, AK
My Anchorage friends own and run this place and it is a MUST SEE while in Alaska. While breakfast and dinner are family style seating, lunch is an order off the menu...when you're not eating one of their amazing take-away lunches on your hike! I had the Bison burger and it was a treat. Amazing pepper jack cheese, this burger needed no more condiments. A true sign of a great burger!
If you want to splurge and you're going to Alaska, make the effort to get to this lodge!
The Lucky Wishbone- Anchorage, AK
While I know I was suppose to order chicken, how could I not order a burger? I had the pleasure of eating here with my good Anchorage friends. This classic joint still had the owner sitting in the dining room. Word on the block is he's eaten there every day that he's owned it. It's an Anchorage institution. Give it a try!
