I saw on the craptastic thread an interesting little exchange about burgers. I refused on principle to participate in that CF, but that particular discussion interested me. I thought that a separate thread about best burgers was worthy of the superbar.
Crawfish Junction in Milford, Wisconsin. The Hangover Burger. 1/2 pound of beef, beer battered. Bacon, Fried Egg, Cheese, Hash-browns on the ridiculously large bun.

Without a doubt, the Blackjack Burger at Potowatomi. Bacon, slaw, ranch, pepper jack cheese, and the best bun mankind could conceive. It's a truly amazing burger.

Other good ones in Milwaukee...Solly's, the Hangover Burger at Stack'd on the pretzel bun, the Loser Burger at Sobelman's, and the best chain burger is Five Guys (sorry Kopp's...their burgers are just too dried out).

From a chain, my favorite sandwich (not burger) is Red Robin's California Chicken sandwich with a slice of Pineapple added.

I am torn, as much as I want Oscar's to do well, I also don't want thaaat many people knowing about it/going there. It's awesome on a game day or any weekend day to be able to go in there and not stand elbow to elbow. That being said I gotta want them to succeed so I am confirming my vote for the Big O medium rare, awesome!

Head south over the 16th Street viaduct from Marquette. Once you get over the bridge take your first right on to Pierce. Down about two blocks on your right.

Oscar's is my favorite in Milwaukee.

Favorite normal priced burger is the Earthride from Kuma's Corner in Chicago. 10 oz. patty, red onion marmalade, bacon jam, canadian bacon, pancetta, bacon.

Yup, pretty damn tasty!

Its on Armitage, but yeah, that place is awesome. Kuma's is fantastic, but after waiting for 2-3 hours, you start to question if it was worth it.

Rosebud has a surprisingly fantastic burger as well.

Didn't Oscar open up his place after working at Sobleman's for years? As for Kuma's in Chicago, it is fantastic. The patio during the summer helps alleviate the wait time.

You might want to try Fred's in Burlington. Great burger, the only negative is that it is a shrine to their local hero Tony Romo.

I wasn't impressed by Fred's and people always want to go there. I guess best burger in the area, but the competition isn't great.

This is my vote too. Just amazing. The original Sobelman's is an emphatic 1B.

Agreed. The best burger I've ever had is The Big O. But as a native Milwaukee South Sider, Mazo's is right up there...plus you can hop right across the street to Leon's afterwards!!

Dante's Inferno at Corvette Diner in San Diego, CA.

I've eaten way too many burgers to pick out just one as the best, but my current favorite comes from a brewpub in suburban Chicago (South Barrington, to be exact) called The Lucky Monk.

The Twisted Spoke near the UC can be awesome, but is also a bit hit-and-miss.

This.

The family and I stay at the Hilton Suites right down the block. Wife and Daughter go to American Girl Cafe, and I meet up with firends at Rosebud for lunch....

Great burger and real fresh cut fries. Nookie Supreme is also great but you better be hungry.

Yes. Oscar left after running sobelman's tallgrass (now sobelman's east side). I believe they had a falling out awhile back
