There are some things I'm on a never ending quest to find - the perfect pair of jeans, the best mascara (although I think I've come close with Lash Blast), my absolute favorite bottle of wine (liking them all is problematic). Add to the list, Best Burger in DFW.
I don't eat a lot of burgers in general. So when I want one, I want it to be REALLY GOOD. I have yet to find THE ONE that stands out above all others to the point where I will forgo other burger places. Sidedish had an article a few days ago about Elevation Burger. I have to say, I'm a fan of the grass fed beef so I'll be checking this one out soon. The Sidedish article also mentions a place called Restaurant Ava which is supposed to have an excellent burger as well. I love the name Ava so I wouldn't mind checking into this place also; however, its all the way out in Rockwall and I'm not sure I'm counting that as DFW at this time. Plus, I'm lazy. A drive to Rockwall for a burger seems like a long way. Maple & Motor is another Dallas joint on the list of places to visit soon. Here's what I've tried so far:
Twisted Root - Good but not great. My burger was a little over cooked.
Love Shack - Another decent burger. The quail egg on top was a cool touch but it didn't knock my socks off.
The Grape - Voted Best Burger 2009 by Texas Monthly, this was, by far, my favorite of all I've tried. Its a 10 oz. homemade patty with pepper bacon, Vermont white cheddar, horseradish pickles and dijonaise. Yum. Still when I think of having a burger I don't think, "OMGee I HAVE to have the burger from The Grape."
Burger Girl on McKinney - This joint is now closed. I guess that pretty much sums up their burger.
Yourway Burgers & Wings - I actually bothered to write a Yelp review about this place. What's cool is that they will infuse your burger with various ingredients. You can read the full review HERE. I have been back a couple of times. Its close to my house which makes it a favorite.
In-N-Out - This place is all hype. I just don't get it. Its not that good and the fries taste weird.
Hopefully I'll come across my favorite soon so I can end my quest to find the best burger. I cook a pretty good burger myself. I guess I could always work on my own to make it the best, then when I open my restaurant, people will know where to find the best burger in DFW. Just sayin.
And I haven't forgotten that I owe you all the secret to the perfect and best grilled cheese. If you've been on a quest to find the perfect grilled cheese, don't fret! Its forthcoming...
