I love burgers. When I go traveling during the summer I try and find burger place along the way. I live in California, the All-time best burger is from In-N-Out Burgers. Everything fresh their fries are even fresh. Any suggestions?

Jen, I like Ruby Tuesday's Smokehouse Burger. It has barbeque sauce and bacon and cheese on it. It is a really messy burger to eat, but those are always the best ones to me. That way, you know their juicy.

I found a surprise at Steak N Shake of all places.
Their Portobello & Swiss Steakburger is really delicious!
I don't even need any kind of condiments or dressing with it, those amazing portobello mushrooms make this an awesome burger!

While I love In and Out, I've also really liked the burgers served at Red Robin, esp the Teriaki Burger..

My husband and I do quite a bit of traveling and the first thing we always do, well after getting settled into our room, is track down the best burger in town.

While we both love Chili's burgers and can always count on them in a pinch, absolutely nothing compares to restaurants that make the good ole' "house burgers."

Well I can honestly say, throughout our travels, we have NEVER found a better burger than Hodads in Ocean Beach, CA just outside of San Diego. It's an open air Mom & Pop's place, nothing fancy, with a one page menu. Guess what's on that menu? Burgers, burgers and more burgers. In fact, burgers are all they do and they do it right!

Patties are hand made and burgers come wrapped in their own paper blanket, a necessity in order to eat these monsters.

If you love burgers and you happen to visit San Diego, make sure to take a day trip to Ocean Beach and have a Hodad's burger.....pure heaven!

Last week we went to Red Robin for the first time.
I had an awesome burger! We tried the bleu ribbon burger and it was big we had to split it but wow! That bleu cheese on it was chunky and delicious!!
What a great taste on a burger and I never would have imagined it.

I love the burgers at Benigann's! Everytime I go I try a different one, but my absolute favorite is the Mushroom and Swiss, can't find another burger that tastes that good anywhere.

One may never deny the savory taste of an In-n-Out burger. I am especially partial to Fudruckers as well as Chili's Bleu Cheese Chipotle Bacon burger...mmmmm...

I love Red Robin. When I'm traveling, I know that I can count on them for a really good burger. In fact, I was there last time, they were featuring a "steakhouse" burger identical to the one Burger king is currently promoting. I've had the Burger King sandwich, but compared to the Red Robin version, the BK burger was utter crap. it was like having tasted Boone's Farm "wine," then trying a quality vintage. Good stuff.
