Top 20 Great American Hamburgers
Posted by Debo Hobo under: Food; Travel-General .
The hamburger is a symbol of everything that makes America great. Straightforward, egalitarian, substantial, and good-natured, it is also a little bloody at times.-Men Style.
This list became wildly popular in 2005 or so. Oprah did a show on it and it has been the main topic of many a blog and website. Gayle(Oprah’s bestfreind) traveled high and low to taste each one. Now it is Debo Hobo’s turn. Won’t you join me? Give each a try when you have a chance and comment about your findings.

I have a confession to make. I’ve lived in Seattle for almost seven years, and I have not consumed a Red Mill Burger yet–but it’s on my list of “to do” things, and I’ll let you know
All the way down to #9 to find a Cheeseburger! What kind of list is this!!!!
Beth, If you get a chance head on over there for me and have a burger. If you so a post on it and I will link to it. That would be a great exchange. What do you think? I plan to get up there to try my own soon.
Swiss-It is a list of hamburgers, but I know what you are saying. Everything is better with a lot of cheese on it.
You’re on, Debo. It may take me a few weeks, but I will let you know.
