KC was the Burger PIC (partner-in-crime) for the Annie's adventure the next day. I somehow forgot to take a picture of the outside, but it was pretty plain -- nothing more than a single unit in an tiny ancient strip mall. The wooden tables were too uneven to lean on and the decor just felt like there was a ton of wood everywhere. Here's a picture of the menu:
I ordered a double meat burger plain. Each of the patties was about 1/4 pound thick. Each of the patties also tasted like heaven. I could seriously eat those things without the bun, or ketchup, or anything really. The grilled steakish flavor of the meat reminded me of something that I couldn't put my finger on -- until later that week when I had Fogo De Chao again. That's when I realized that the burger at Annie's strongly resembles the flavor of the top sirloin cut at Fogo.
Initially I gave the burger an 8. However, after I started craving it a week later, I realized this was no ordinary burger. No -- it was an In-N-Out fighter. Certainly it wasn't as good as In-N-Out, but it's a much more formidable contender than Christian's was. Christian's was a solid, fresh, smooth burger. Annie's was a flavorful masterpiece despite not having the fresh, smooth taste of Christian's. In light of Annie's (and I've now been more than once), I've revised my Christian's review to an 8. Annie's is the true 9 of Burger Quest thus far. It looks like the Lankford's friend was right -- about Annie's at least. It almost makes me think I should give Lankford's another spin. Almost.
Final Rating -- 9.
(KC gave Annie's a 7, for comparison)
