I had to really think about this one. We have a little (drive through only IIRC) dive in a REALLY bad part of town with killer burgers. IIRC its next door to the cop shop so if you arrive safe you are fine.

The White Barn. Burgers are pretty big https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-white-barn-saint-louis

My fave though was in my home town at a little pool hall called the Blue Ribbon. Nothing really fancy about them other than the super cool old bar i could sit at even at 7yrs old. Just grilled onions on a cheese burger with a hand dipped MALT...not a damn milk shake...and they put the steel mixer on the table with your malt!!!

Now its called the New York bar and grill. It has been for probably 20 years or more but ive never even went in the place. https://www.facebook.com/New-York-Bar-And-Grill-292860747112/

Those are some good cheap prices.

Thats nothing. You should checkout Fast Eddies Bon Air. 1/2lbers were 2 bucks but had a 2 drink minimum and no to go orders. Place is always packed too.

Hey GIP,

I just wanted to tell you your awesome cast iron tip proved out great for me. I made two huge sloppyburgers for us yesterday. They were made of dry aged, grass fed beef combined with finely chopped sweet onion, ho'made BBQ sauce, salt & pepper and a bunch of shredded cheese. I used two cast iron fajita skillets preheated to 500° over a gas grille and cooked them 8 minutes per side. I used additional slices of provolone melted on top and put them on grilled kaiser rolls. The burgers were were perfect and the dogs absolutely loved the drippings! Thanks again.

Nah, I didn't take any pictures. Next time I cook steaks I'm gonna do them in cast iron on the grill and will take pictures then.

I'm thinking that will be an excellent way to cook steaks too. I like to watch the cooking shows on PBS. A while back the one with the two well-fed blonds that teach each other how to cook did a steak in cast iron that they preheated in the oven before they slapped it onto the cooktop. The steak had an awesome sear and it must have been great because you'd think the two ladies creamed their jeans with all the moaning they did when tasting.

Anyways, we don't have the commercial ventilation system to get away with stuff like that in the house so I'll do it on the grill.

I would say the burgers I learned to make from The TB, the smash burgers over thinly sliced onions on Martin's potato rolls with mayo and mustard are my favorite, but...

In-n-Out Double Double Animal style would be my favorite other than my own.

Jay.

You get it.

INO is my favorite away from home burger for true.

Single cheese animal style no lettuce.

But you and I make better at home.

The best burger I ever ate was just like this...
