Sometimes I think lists try too hard to be different. I also think some burger places try too hard to be bougie. I don’t want a burger I can barely fit in my mouth to take a bite. Honestly, I prefer a smash-like cheese burger with just ketchup, mustard and pickles. Once you mix in secret spices, throw a fried egg on top with some onion strings and Brie it’s less about the burger and more about the garnish.

Point well taken but I also admit for me, it IS about the garnish/condiments!

I live a condiment-free lifestyle, so for me, it’s all about the taste of the burger itself.

I’m not to embarrassed to admit I follow NJ food pages like best sandwiches, best pizza, best chicken Parmesan… So I’m pretty familiar with popular food!

I live in Orange County, CA. I have not been to my states pick but my mom regularly goes there whenever she goes to UCLA basketball games.
I used to when I read the Star-Ledger before it disappeared; loved Pete Genovese’s food adventures and columns. But I don’t recall reading about this particular place.
