Carl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger, anything with 1520 calories and can potentially give one a heart attack, all for just 6 bucks, just has to be good.

I agree. Of the large fast food chain burgers, Carl's is the best by a long shot. Although, you have to add chili to see the full potential.

Also, the Double Western Burger is still the value buy. That brick stays in your stomach for hours.

In the Philadelphia area:
Barclay Prime
Black Sheep
The Bards
Copabanana
Good Dog Bar (try the one stuffed with blue cheese)
London Grill (on an English muffin, no less)
Rouge

Although it doesn't make this list, I like 5 Guys, but understand Unsound's criticism.

Of course, if you come here on a visit, skip the burgers, as you can get them in any city. Try the hoagies (subs to the rest of you), roast pork, roast beef, and cheesesteaks.

I've never gotten aboard the In-N-Out craze. Their burgers just don't stand out to me.

I was a big fan of Fatburger when they had hand made patties. When they switched to pre-made patties that were pressed too densely, the magic went away.

Crocodile Cafe in Burbank had an outstanding burger, but I believe they've been gone for many years.

So, I'm still searching for the great LA burger. I'll have to try Father's Office when I get to the west side.
