There are few foods more all-American than the hamburger, which is why we consider it our civic duty to bring you the best examples of this national treasure from across the country. While the burger in its simplest form is a ground beef patty between two slices of bread, today's top artisans are taking the sandwich to exciting new heights, using fresh, organic ingredients and lots of creative condiments sourced from cuisines around the world. Whether you prefer a classic patty stacked with lettuce, pickles and tomato or a salami-topped concoction with an Eastern European flair, our favorite burger joints are sure to leave you satisfied.
