Texas covers all cuisine:
Tex-Mex
Interior Mexican food
Taco-bell Mexican food
BBQ
German food
Seafood
Cajun food

But we are light on Italian-I can only think of 3 or 4 Italian joints that even know there are other colors of sauce than red.

Burgers? My all time favorite was a place on NASA Rd 1 in Houston called the Jalapeno Tree. It is gone, but man did they make good burgers, lots of Japs(of course), but my favorite was the Jap/bleu cheese with bacon bits.

I prefer mine cheeseless, the perfect burger does not need the cheese, but am pretty much in agreement with BlueJ on what types I like.

Liz, I'm assuming you've been to Hut's on 6th street right? Or EZ's on Burnet road?

Yeah, I eat at both regularly(although I only let myself eat one burger a week), but my favorite in Austin are Drity Burgers, plus they still serve schooners of cold beer.

Edit- My old favorite was Dan's before he and Fran got a divorce, now Dan's and Fran's both kind of suck.

Options are a good thing Edbert

LizKing, you been to the restaurants in West, TX? Dayum good German food, particularly that little hole in the wall place off the freeway.

My territory is the State of Texas, and has been for the last 20 years, so there are not many places in Texas that I HAVEN't eaten at, from burger stands to Le Mansion. I have not eaten German in West, though, I'll try it next week on my way up to Ft. Worth. My German food fav's are in Fredricksburg and Wimberly, esp. the cellar door in Fredricksburg.

"What's your favorite cheese or cheese combination on a burger"

I like meat, including bugers, plain--no cheese, no bun, none of that junk. Sometimes I'll put some salt on it but that's about it.

3 of my 4 grandparents were born in Fredricksburg not to mention both of my parents. I've been going there 6-12 times a year since I was born.

Opa's sausage is a good place to eat, as well as Althaus, or the brewery.

This causes them to sear on the outside and keep most of the flavor on the inside, plus it allows you a slightly pinker middle but still have a juicy burger.

Another good one is to use normal italian herb seasoning sprinkled and sliced onions mixed into the beef before forming the patties.

My brother makes burgers in this manner. Dont think I have ever had a better grilled burger. I think the only thing different is he adds an egg to help the whole mix stay together.

Not really ... but it never stopped me before. I liked the old McNuggets.

cheddar cheese, slightly melted (fully melted is gross), to get the right effect you place your slices (im talking about a block of cheese here) which are fairly thick, onto the meat about 40 seconds before there done...

Good lord I can't believe some of you heathen put Blue Cheese on a fargin burger. You may as well just throw that meat outside for the dogs.

For me my favorite is good thick slices of Cheddar placed on right before finishing the burger on the grill. Also I like a colby jack cheese sliced fairly thick on the burger as well. American cheese only if I am drinking copious amounts of cool Warsteiner with my burger. Lastly Munster cheese is a good one to top off any burger with. My wife bought some Munster a few months ago by accident and those were some of the best burgers I have eaten after I got over my assinine fit about eating some damn german cheese on my good ol' southern USA grilled to perfection burger.

Oh my!

You people owe me a keyboard, it has shortcircuited for the salivation.

Here in Italy McDonalds it's trash, but i remember there in the States was little better.

The best Hamburger of my life I had it in a little harbour at the end of a channel along the route from Annapolis to Baltimore, 2 days before leaving for the Atlantic crossing in a sailboat.

It was a small place, with 2 tables on each side and the cooking place at the end, and a nice and gentle woman was doing everything, the other 2 customers were a local policemen and a guy wearing a baseball hat.

When I entered I tought to be in a set of a movie.

That hamburger cut have been defined one of the proves of the existence of God.
