Best Burgers?
Birmingham Magazine's looking for "the best of Birmingham on a bun."
Go to http://bhammag.com/bhammag/food-jul10a.aspx to read about a baker's dozen of great burgers, from old-fashioned traditional at Billy's or Green Valley Drugs to ones with flavorful toppings like the Bloomin' Jalapeno burger at Rogue Tavern or the blue-cheese-stuffed version at Dram Whiskey Bar to the veggie burger at Bottletree. It says to vote on your favorite for the Best of Birmingham issue, but I can't see where you're supposed to do that....
I was kind of surprised that a couple of places that specialize in gourmet burgers, like the new Flip Burger Boutique at the Summit or Baja Burger, was on the list. But I haven't been to either one ...
What do you guys think? Favorite burgers? On this list, I'm personally partial to Chicago Mike's, and to the Kobe beef sliders at Jinsei. For a chain, Five Guys burgers are pretty good (although it's the fresh-made fries there that really stand out) -- and, of course there's always Milo's.
I quickly heard back from the folks at Birmingham Magazine. Here's the link for voting for the Best of Birmingham awards: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/bestofbham2010. And, they say, Flip is actually on the list, but didn't make it on the web due to an error. But they're fixing that.
