1 | 9/27/2023 | 4 Charles Prime Rib Burger | New York | 10 | 7 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 8.3125 | Excellent egg and bacon addon (best bacon on a burger ever); the american wagyu and bread were great! |
2 | 9/1/2016 | 8 Oz Burger | Seattle | 10 | 7 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 8.125 | Melted cheese was great, pickles were the perfect accent, meat and house sauce was good and very filling burger |
3 | 4/1/2016 | Teddy's | Seattle | 10 | 8 | 8 | 5 | 7 | 7.75 | The meat A+ |
4 | 9/1/2020 | Niku Butcher Shop | Bay Area | 10 | 7 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 7.75 | Excellent umami from the 50/50 wagyu mix. Niku is a legendary wagyu importer, and their burger is an excellent tease into what they can offer. |
5 | 12/11/2022 | Automat | Bay Area | 8 | 7 | 6 | 9 | 8 | 7.625 | The burger was good, but the fried chicken sandwich was superior. Pickled onions, garlic aioli, and the juiciest fried chicken ever stand out |
6 | 8/20/2022 | Asado Hamburgeusas | Barcelona | 7 | 8 | 6 | 9 | 8 | 7.5625 | While the meat was a little more rare (‘al punto’) than I would have liked, the classic Asado burger had great veggies (pickled red onion), sauce (chimichurri), dry aged beef, and mayo confit. Overall delicious! |
7 | 7/1/2024 | Emily West Village | New York | 7 | 8 | 6 | 8 | 7 | 7.1875 | Dry aged beef, special Emmy sauce, caramelized onion, pickle, pretzel bun Something with the sauce or onions made the flavor almost sweet. the dry aged meat blended into the background behind so many strong accompanying flavors from the cheese, sauce, onions, and pickles. |
8 | 12/23/2022 | Kirk’s Steakburgers | Bay Area | 9 | 7 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 7.125 | An excellent charcoal grilled burger. Vegetables were average but the house thousand island + mayo and meat combo are the highlights |
9 | 4/1/2016 | Jeffrey's | Bay Area | 8 | 6 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 7.0625 | Great overall burger |
10 | 4/1/2016 | The Counter | Bay Area | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | Customization A+ |
11 | 5/1/2016 | Honor Bar | LA | 7 | 4 | 8 | 9 | 7 | 7 | Coleslaw on the burger - good. Pickles - bad. |
12 | 12/1/2017 | Peter Luger | York | 10 | 8 | 8 | 1 | 7 | 7 | “purist” NY burger. Steakhouse patty, onion, bun. Meat+Cheese fantastic. Oozing. Bread held up well, tough exterior but soft inside. Great bread. Adding steak sauce made it better. |
13 | 8/1/2016 | Lil' Woody's | Seattle | 5 | 9 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 6.5 | Toasted buns and really well melted cheese. Overall good, if they made their meat better it would be a real treat |
14 | 9/30/2023 | 7th Street Burgers | New York | 7 | 7 | 10 | 3 | 5 | 6.4375 | Super soft potato bun, very similar to Shake Shack. No veggies hurts this burger but it’s an excellent any time of day eat. |
15 | 3/9/22 | H&F Burger | 5 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 6 | 6.3125 | ||
16 | 4/1/2016 | Rain City Burgers | Seattle | 6 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 6.1875 | A better version of the average burger |
17 | 4/1/2016 | In n' Out | Bay Area | 6 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 5 | 6.1875 | Great fresh taste, soul food for Californians |

21 | 12/1/2016 | Golden Brown | Tokyo | 6 | 8 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5.625 | Very fresh burger, veggies were overpowering at times, size of tomato did not fit bun. Cheddar Cheese melted very well. Meat high quality. Mysterious sauce was watery and added an indiscernable taste that reminded of mayo. Bread was crispy and toasted. Weak bun did not hold burger together well |
22 | 4/1/2016 | Blue Moon Burgers | Seattle | 7 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 6 | 5.3125 | The "Hangover" with bacon, fries, etc. Tasty. |
23 | 7/1/2016 | Melissa's Missteak | Banff | 6 | 6 | 6 | 4 | 4 | 5.25 | Bread is supple, yellowish like cornbread? Very soft. |
24 | 7/1/2016 | Jim's Burger and Beer | Bangkok | 4 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 4 | 5.125 | Really interesting black bun burger, i think it's charcoal smoked. The beef tastes differently from meat in the US and its different from Clark's so I'm not sure if it's charcoal but it is a little smoky. Sort of like theres something mixed in with the beef. Maybe just pepper? Some spice. The cheese is unimpressive, decidedly average. They put a waffle fry in the burger, it went well. Just barely taste it. Pickles and grilled onions and perhaps a single tomato were also included, but the flavor didn't overpower any other part of the burger. Well mixed. |
25 | 4/1/2016 | LunchBox Laboratory | Seattle | 6 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 6 | 5.0625 | Interesting burger combinations, just not my style |
26 | 10/21/2024 | Farmhouse Thai (Krabby Patty Kollab) | Bikini Bottom | 6 | 0 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 5.0625 | Short rib + penang curry special burger for the anniversary of the krabby patty |
27 | 4/1/2016 | Red Robin | USA | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | The "AVERAGE" burger. All 5's. |
28 | 5/1/2016 | Farmstead | LA | 6 | 4 | 7 | 4 | 3 | 4.875 | Arugula in the burger was too strong |
29 | 1/25/2022 | Magnolia Brewing | Bay Area | 6 | 5 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 4.6875 | Typical/average burger. Raw lettuce isn’t good IMO but the bread was soft. |
30 | 4/1/2016 | Caliburger | Seattle | 5 | 5 | 4 | 6 | 3 | 4.625 | In n Out knockoff… its okay but more expensive |
31 | 12/1/2016 | Blackwood | San Francisco | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4.1875 | Buns toasted a little too black, kind of crunchy. Red onions not so good. |
32 | 12/1/2016 | Liam's | Seattle | 4 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4.1875 | Southwestern Burger - Meat dry, bun was overwhelming, avocado was good, kind of lukewarm when it came out |
33 | 4/1/2016 | Honest Burger | London | 4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3.8125 | Not very tasty for "London's best burger" |
34 | 4/1/2016 | The Ram | Seattle | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 3.625 | Unmemorable… should try again |
35 | 4/1/2016 | Katsu Burger | Seattle | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Novel "umami" flavor, but not amazing |
36 | 5/1/2016 | Runway Grill | Seattle | 3 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2.4375 | Only eat if starving in airport and haven't had lunch yet |
37 | 7/1/2016 | Lotteria | Busan | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2.1875 | Typical fast food brand cheeseburger. Slightly better than McDonalds due to its special sauce which is a little more generous than mcd's is with their big Mac sauce. Still the vegetables and sauce overpower the meat and cheese in a negative way. Every ingredient seems heated up so it's not fresh and not desirable except in the "I have to catch my train" mindset, which is incidentally what we're in. |
38 | 4/1/2016 | McDonald's | Earth | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1.1875 | So bad… but so good.. |
