Good topic. I was just thinking recently myself we haven’t had this discussion in a long time. It used to be a staple topic on some other discussion board or other as I recall.
But the Houston food scene has changed drastically over the last few years as has the burger scene. I haven’t kept up with all the trendy places that have gotten into the game and I don’t eat burgers as much as I used to.
Back when, my favorites would have included Christians’s (original location only), Lankford’s, and Blake’s on Jeanetta (partly because it was closer to me than any other good ones). I also loved old-timey burger stands but I haven’t been to Someburger on 11th, Sparkle’s on Dowling or Jaime’s in Rosenberg in years.
I like Bernie’s Burger Buses - haven’t yet tried his brick and mortar place - but the best burger I’ve had in the last couple of years was the Frito Pie Burger at Hubcap on 19th.
I keep thinking I need to go get another one. Beat anything I ever had at Burger Guys!
Ricky Craig has been a controversial character but he not only knows how to put together a good burger, he seems to be able to communicate to his staffs how to replicate. He does some pretty screwy burgers too; I tried the muffaletta burger once and I thought it was a very poor concept and I’m not even slightly interested in the one with peanut butter.
