  1. I really like a summer evening burger on the grill in the back yard with all the veggie fixings from the garden and fresh aioli!

  4. Mainstreet Bar and Grill-Monrovia Indiana- they get their beef from the meat dept at the IGA here in town. It's a large burger, cooked to order (MR-is there any other way?) Topped how you want-cheese-thin sliced red onion-tom-lettuce-mayo for me or no bun with just the beef and cheese if you're my husband.

  6. My favorite burger can only be found in Akron, Ohio. Give me a Swenson's Galley Boy with a side of onion rings any day of the week. Two thin patties, cheese, special sauce, and a toothpick with a green olive holding it all together.

  7. Homemade, half lamb half beef, harissa on the bun, topped with red onion and feta cheese crumbles. Amazing. alyssabeattie@gmail.com

  8. I guess at home since I only order a burger out if there's no Breaded Tenderloin or Reuben.

  9. MY favorite burger is a veggie burger with avocado BUT my husband is all over this ticket and he tells me his favorite is a double bacon cheeseburger from just about anywhere!

  10. I love sharp cheddar, ketchup, pickles (hopefully homemade with a little tang!), and peanut butter on my burger - love Punch Burger's or one at home grill by my husband... medium rare, but not too thick.

  11. Crispy edges, good quality bun, fresh veggies - pretty classic!

  12. Mmmm...the North Ave. FatBurger at Fat Dan's Deli. Perfectly greasy, melted swiss cheese, mushrooms, with a touch of teriyaki. And of course, the fries to go with it!

  19. [Not entering the contest, since even for sliders I'm a bit too far away.]

    This sounds like such a fun event! And 13 slides (plus beer) for $30 sounds like a good deal, too.

    Enjoy it, everyone who goes!

  21. I am not picky when it comes to burgers...beef, turkey, veggie. I love them all. As long as I have a great patio and perfect weather to eat them I am happy! (amscheetz@yahoo.com)

  22. It was the Outta Thyme burger from Beast that they made special for the Back To The Future double feature at the IMA last October. So good, I hope they do it again sometime.

  23. The perfect burger is not from home...it's one of those thin, griddled, crispy patties with gooey cheese. Keeping it simple with not a ton of toppings, just the normal lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mustard.

  24. First, there are so many types of Burgers out there…thick through thin. So I am going to provide my favorites.

    1) Thick - Harry and Izzy's, downtown Indianapolis (vs. North side). This burger has amazing flavor from the beef, juicy, always cooked properly and overall great flavor. Great bun, great presentation. You are not hungry after this burger.

    2) Medium sized - Burgerhaus, downtown Indianapolis. Worth the pain of parking at 9C, not sure what seasoning they use, but it is extremely flavorful, juicy, and again a great bun.

    3) Thin, fast food type - SHAKE SHACK, Chicago, Baltimore, DC - this is by far my favorite burger for a more fast food restaurant. The edges are a bit crispy and the middle is always cooked perfectly. Overall my favorite…this could also be because I can't get them in Indy and always a treat when traveling.
