Yeah third one.
And don't remember. The patty??
7 (henrys burger) 8 (franklin avenue) and 10 (fatz) are probably the best ones.

For the most part, if I'm going to get something like this (make an iconic burger but in a different manner/with different ingredients), I'm doing at home instead of ordering it at a restaurant.
I was actually more impressed with Sydney's burger scene than New Yorks. Five Guys and Shake Shack felt massively overrated. My guess is they are the shit if you grew up on McD and BK and the nostalgia factor kicks in and you crave something like it but a bit better. But when that's missing, they are really mediocre burgers. I had some good shit at Salvation Burger and the burgers at the Standard Grill and at Reynard's in Brooklyn were pretty solid, but nothing came close to what I had in Sydney at Five Point Burgers, Charlie & Co, BenBry's, Beautiful Burgers and Grand National.
Five points is really good but you didn't even check out Sydney's best.

Blame Canada from Bar Luca is consistently voted best burg in Sydney. And it won the best in Sydney/melbourne face off. I think its a touch too sweet for my liking and I prefer a little salad but I can see the attraction:
Poutine
Beef
Cheese
Maple Bacon
Maple Aioli

Five Guys and Shake Shack are basically chains. A step above your Macass and BKs.
I got enough cooking chops to master meat grinding, but not the cash to spend on a hipster ass hipster joint selling me a Big Mac, when I can have an actual fucking Big Mac that will fill the spot of a fucking cheap-ass burger that makes you say, "that's enough for my yearly quota."
It's not sloppy at all and isn't ridiculously large. The maple bacon is subtle. Don't knock it til you try it.
lol it's true, it's too small compared to everything else in the burger (what is with this amount of lettuce). Same place:
Sad because the patty itself is good and they have a charcoal grill for them.
Is it not? I figure the gravy and curds alone would be spilling outside of it. Looks good anyway but I'm not usually a fan of fries inside a burger.
That's good to know, I'll be back in the city in october/november this year to visit family, so I'll probably have some time to check out some of those suggestions, thanks! Bar Luca, Pub Life Kitchen and Superior Burger were already on my radar, but the others are new for me.
When I spent a month in Sydney in '12, I lost a truth/dare bet and lunched with a burger for a month straight and wrote a review for each one. Maybe I've still got it on Flickr somewhere, I should check that out. Had a lot of great burgers, and some pretty horrible burgers too
. I wasn't that impressed with Mary's though, and I saw a lot of Sydneysider foodies rave about it..BodiesWithoutOrgans

I would eat OP chicken burger, but the big mac knockoff looks a bit shite. To be honest I'm happy with a regular big mac, but that is more because I wasn't really allowed that stuff as a kid. We never ate fast food, only home cooked meals, so as an adult it's all tasty goodness to me. Burger King does best though, when they get the order right.

Yeah Sydney's burger game in recent years has gotten phenomenal
It actually ruined what I looked forward to most in travelling to America cause the burgers just weren't that level above as hyped anymore

I hate both pictures in the OP. I'll never order burgers that tall. I hate being messy when I eat. That shit is a no-go.
Post the link to your Flickr if you find it. Mary's is good when you are drunk. Their fried chicken and potato and gravy are better than their burgs.That's good to know, I'll be back in the city in october/november this year to visit family, so I'll probably have some time to check out some of those suggestions, thanks!

I don't understand burgers so big you can't take a real bite.
My favorite burger atm is my home made one I wish I had pictures.
Ground turkey mixed with habanero cheese.
Topped with my home made bacon honey mustard spread.
Friend egg over medium.
So good.

Those look really delicious but impossible to eat. I don't get the point of making IG burgers that you can't eat with your hands. Also, too much bread. Knock out half that burger and then maybe I could eat half of the damn thing.
That homemade mcrib looks amazing too. I used to try to make popeyes chicken at home because I wanted the flavor without the sickness, but I couldn't get it quite right.
All of the burgers ITT look delicious but how are they knockoffs of other popular burgers?
Looks fake

Same here. All I see are random burgers.
The only Big Mac rip offs that come to mind are BK's Big King and Carl's Jr's Big Carl.
Neither are great imo.
If In-N-Out counts because they do similar style burgers, then they get my vote.
Most of these are so ridiculous, in terms of fillings, that I'd rather just ditch the bun and eat the meat as a regular meal. My jaw is either going to break in half, or I will end up wearing sauce all over my face, if I try to take a mouthful.
They still look delicious though, coming from someone who hardly ever eats burgers.

I like the bun. I prefer more meat and less bun. I tried Shake Shack for the first time last week and I loved it! Much prefer it over 5 guys are really any other franchise. Delicious.
MOS burger is lit!

Burger just means ground meat. Chicken burgers exist, but have never had a good one. A fried chicken filet between a bun is a sandwich.

nope. well you're technically right at the start.
the reason it's a chicken burger is because it is like a hamburger but with chicken.
when you can't differentiate between a chicken sandwich (chicken burger) and this chicken sandwich by the nomenclature you've got a problem
MikeOfAllTrades
Member
There's no need to differentiate because that is a chicken sandwich. It does not contain a formed chicken burger patty.

how do you eat burgers this tall
Fuck, do I wish I had some of those burgers right now in front of me.

I like burgers but not when the whole kitchen sink has been shoved between two (or worse, three) buns. A lot of these are too tall with too many ingredients for me.
