Beaver Creek Travel: Larkburger

Where: Edwards Village Center [map], Edwards, CO, United States
September 3, 2008 at 10:00 AM | by sedona | 0 Comments

While we love to experiment with local food when we're on the road, sometimes after an intense day of fly fishing, mountain biking or hiking, we're lazy enough to eat a burger. But not just any burger, the local burger, which means polling area citizens as we did recently in Beaver Creek, Colorado. They all recommended one spot--that's actually in nearby Edwards: Larkburger.

New NYC Restaurant: Five Napkin Burger

Where: 630 Ninth Avenue [map], New York, NY, United States, 10036
June 18, 2008 at 12:20 PM | by sedona | 0 Comments

So, not quite sold on that $186 burger? Five Napkin Burger opens today in New York, and we can't wait to hit it up. The brainchild of Nice Matin chef Andy D'Amico, the menu's signature offering is a 10-ounce beef patty topped with Comté cheese and caramelized onions, served on a rosemary aioli-slathered roll.

More adventurous grill hounds can try the Rarebit Bacon Burger (with white cheddar cheese and grilled bacon), the Ahi Tuna Burger (it has ginger, scallions, wasabi mayo and tempura fried onions) or the fancy Mediterranean-inspired Lamb Kofta Burger (topped with tomato, onion salad and green tahini sauce). There are a couple other non-burger menu options, but remember: The place isn't called Five Napkin Artichoke Dip.

The decor's as manly as you'd imagine, with meat hooks, dim lighting and easy-to-clean white tiling. You'll also find loads of specialty cocktails, wines and beer to keep you happy. Our summer might just be complete.

Burger Travel: Britain Brings Us the Most Expensive Burger

June 18, 2008 at 9:15 AM | by amandak | 0 Comments

Feel like a burger? Feel like a really, really good burger? We don't know if the new "The Burger" being sold in a West London Burger King is a really good one, but we sure know that it's really expensive.

At £95 ($186) "The Burger" is the world's most expensive, they say, and includes delicacies like this:

The world's most succulent Japanese Wagyu beef with white truffles, onion tempura prepared in Cristal champagne and Italy's finest Pata Negra prosciutto.

Profits go to a local charity, so your burger munching is for a good cause. If anyone tries one of these, we definitely want to know if it really tastes 95 times better than usual.

Best Burger in DC?

April 12, 2007 at 10:35 AM | by pbb | 0 Comments


After heading out to the country for some delish rib eye last weekend, we ended up back in DC. But even all that steak couldn't sate our taste for beef. That's when Five Guys came to the rescue.

Yes, yes, the operation has gone into franchise mode recently. But it all got started in Arlington, VA. The thing that keeps Five Guys legit is the focus on just doing a few things right: You'll find burgers, fries and little else on the menu.

We went for the cheeseburger, which is actually two beef patties smothered with American cheese. The "fried onion" topping turned out to be little bits of sauteed onion--totally not worth it. A huge bag of fries and a root beer later, we were in a massive burger-induced food coma. In other words: It may be a chain, but damn it's still good.

A Great Burger, in Japan

Where: 4-5-10 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan
January 11, 2006 at 12:45 PM | by johnrambow | 0 Comments

It seems a little perverse to get a good old American burger in Tokyo, but if that hunger strikes, there's at least one delicious, non-McDonald's option out there. The owner of Fire House, in the Bunkyo-ku district, spent eight years in California and Oregon, so it may be that L.A.'s famed In-N-Out chain has influenced his generous but not enormous quarter-pounders. The place is popular with the locals, too: they devour about 500 burgers a day. A burger runs about 1000 yen ($9), fries included.

Irv's Burgers are Tasty

Where: 8289 Santa Monica Blvd. [map], West Hollywood, CA, United States, 90046-5925

Southern California is to good burgers what Seattle is to grunge music.

From Dick and Mac McDonald flipping away in San Bernardino to Harry and Esther Snyder serving millions at Baldwin Park--SoCal knows burgers.

Unfortunately, many of the old time burger stands have gone the way of the dinosaur, mostly to make room for condos and pre fab strip mall bullshit.

Luckily, West Hollywood's Irv's Burgers is still around.
