Some burgers are good. A few burgers are great. Good or great burgers satisfy most people, but I'm not most people. I'm a purist (and a picky eater). I don't put toppings on my burger -- I eat it plain with just the meat, ketchup, and a bun. It's easy to disguise an average burger with toppings to distract from the meat's flavor, but it's much harder to do with the way I eat burgers.
The perfect burger. That's the Holy Grail for someone like myself. Fortunately, it exists. Unfortunately, it doesn't exist in Texas. In-N-Out Burger, the only burger I consider a perfect 10, is only available in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah despite the company's insistence they're coming to Texas. It's my goal with this blog to try every burger place in Houston until I've found a legitimate In-N-Out competitor. Please post suggestions here if you have them. Keep in mind, I prefer thinner burgers with great flavor.
I'll provide a review for every place I go on a scale of 1-10. Generally, 1 means "not edible" and 10 means "burger perfection", whereas 5 means "average". As an example, In-N-Out is a 10, Tornado Burger is a 1, and Wendy's is a 5. I'm really doing this for me, but I figure someone else might share my burger tastes and it could benefit them.

In-n-Out now has an approved site in Garland. I have no idea if that means they have plans to expand into Houston.
ReplyDeleteI called them today. They wouldn't confirm or deny Garland (even though we all know it's official now), but they did say that Houston is on their list of cities to expand to very soon. She was careful not to say "Houston", she just said "the area that you were just referring to will have locations soon."
