[White Helmet]

I am fine with it being $13, but when I asked the guy "isnt that brewed in Colorado?" he said "no its an import."

Texas Monthly's burger rankings is a joke. Maybe they should have had a foo foo burger catagory and a greasy burger catagory. I would eat a burger from Whataburger before I would go back to the place in Midland, "Burger, Fries and Cherry Pies. I can not believe "Chris Madrid's in San Antonio was not listed.

these things are all "fluff pieces". they work off a list of advertisers.

Does this count?



KFC's new breadless fried chicken sandwich

In what appears to be an about face since the introduction of its grilled chicken, KFC is now test marketing a product it calls the KFC Double Down Chicken Sandwich.

The $4.99 Double Down starts with two original recipe (fried) chicken filets, which act as the “bread” in this sandwich. Inside, there’s bacon, pepper jack cheese, Swiss cheese and Colonel’s Sauce.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, the sandwich is being test marketed in Rhode Island and Omaha, Nebraska.

But the Double Down might more accurately be called the Double Bypass. While the sandwich is not to be found on the KFC Web site, the Sentinel estimates it has about 62.4 grams of fat and 858 calories.

Here's an entry that didn't make the Burger Wars — Denny's.

Ate there when I had defensive driving, and they fed us, if you can call it that.

This might well be the worst burger I've had since high school. Just disgusting. Grey, greasy, completely void of any flavor ... gross.

Sad...really sad.

40. Cheeseburger, Classics Burgers and “Moore”, Kerrville

I am from kerrville and was shocked to see this on that list! They are good. but surely not in the top 50 in texas?!

[Charleston Pony]

I see the Perini Ranch Steakhouse in Buffal Gap made Texas Monthly's list for great burgers. Mrs CP and I had a chance to visit that place while visiting son and daughter in law (he's stationed at AFB in Abilene - flying C-130 cargo planes from that base). Would recommend the "family cut" of prime rib for anyone who might visit that "out of the way" spot. Good eats, to be sure!

Ate lunch Friday at Jake's in Uptown.

So what are you saying? The burger is good or the burger is photogenic.
