Yes, Dicks and Johnnys are great. I will get crap for admitting it, but I've always liked Red Robin's burgers as well.

I enjoy them from time to time. Sometimes they can be pretty damn disappointing though. You hear the ingredient list on the 5- alarm burger (habanero aioli, pepperjack cheese, jalapenos) and you think it's gonna be hot but it's really a pretty shitty burger.

Yeah, I never liked that one. Back in college Red Robin was like the high life for my roommates and I, so it's mostly nostalgia for me. Their burger with the fried egg was probably my favorite, with the pineapple one as a close second.

Loris and Barneys are pretty tops around these parts, depending on if you're going for gourmet (Barneys, and epic gourmet at that), or kitsch (Loris).

Much better than that new fangled Burger Bar thing in Vegas.

Oh, they're not bad. But the amount of salt is incredible. Edit -- general article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7050585.stm

My favorite comfort food was a local burger place that did a chili cheese burger with a fried egg on top. Sadly, I've moved.

God, it was so unhealthy but no matter how shitty a day I'd had, I could eat one of those and I'd be in heaven.

There's this guy at a dive near me, I heard he's an ex-serious
chef from NYC who ditched the whole City thing, now he works
in this redneck bar. So I go. I order the bleu cheese burger. Damn.
I mean, seriously. Damn. Medium angus on a delicate little Ciabatta,
good bleu, bacon, and this divine caramelized onion aioli.
No lookin back for me.

I believe this is an effort to quote and comment and I believe the hyperactive smiley is a sentiment of excitement. In this case, about the burger described.

Burgers are like pizza -- they range from poor to pedestrian to sublime and there's a lot of room for tinkering with the basics that can make a big difference in the final product. Both, additionally, are simple foods which can be as satisfying at times as the most difficult to make or most costly of fare.
