The burger, America's quintessential comfort food, can now be enjoyed in an impossibly endless number of ways. There are round-the-clock burgers at 24-hour-roadside joints and ephemeral late-night burgers sold out in mere minutes; burgers grilled in hundred-year-old cast-iron broilers and burgers steamed in state-of-the-art ovens; burgers crafted from Kobe beef imported from Japan and burgers made with Black Angus beef from just down the road. It's clearly a great time to love the burger. Here, we've singled out the 25 best burgers around the country.

"Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger."
Last night we decided maybe it was us, so we tried a new In-N-Out here in Salt Lake City. We were right the first time in LA. Burger was flavorless and the fries tasted liked recycled cardboard. You would never have known they were made from REAL potatoes. Nasty experience!
Not sure the fast food variety of burgers should be called the same term as those made authentically....has to be outdoors on open fire....
I have had In-n-Out burgers before and find them to be ok, certainly better than McDonald's or Burger King types but still not in the same league as you make yourself. I was able to introduce friends to real burgers friends in another country that have only seen McDonald's and Wendy's. They only politely humored me when I claimed that the fast food variety(which they were convinced..rightly...were only for small children who did not know better, not for adults) until I prepared real burgers over a campfire on an overnight picnic. They all became converts and wondered by the name "burger" was applied to both types since they had no taste or ingredient in common.
I am back home visiting the USA now for a couple weeks and will have a hamburger or two in hole in the wall places, and maybe In-and-Out however.
