burger king


on the hunt for the "best burger of all time," we ventured out to rappersville on friday night. after getting the ultimate burger tour of nyc, our swiss friend maintains that dirty joe's burgers are unequivocally #1.

i give their farm burger a 6. i am certainly a picky burger eater and i can't say the swiss do it better than some of my preferred haunts in the us. as for a spot outside of zurich, dirty joe is a hip, thrifty dive. the music is loud and the decorations are kitsch - they even have some half-dressed mannequins with fro-wigs popping out of corners. if you are ever trying to get a taste for zuerich's surrounding villages, its definitely a cool place to kick it.

here's a list of my all time burger favorites, in no particular order:

corner bistro, nyc
ruloff's, ithaca, ny
dinosaur bbq, syracuse, ny
matt's bar, minneapolis
rick's cafe, chagrin falls, oh
in-and-out burger, san fran
electric house, london
white trash fast food, berlin
