"I believe that the great American hamburger is a thing of beauty, its simple charms noble, pristine. The basic recipe--ground beef, salt, and pepper, formed into a patty, grilled or seared on a griddle, then nestled between two halves of a bun, usually but not necessarily accompanied by lettuce, a tomato slice, and some ketchup--is, to my mind, unimprovable by man or God. A good burger can be made more complicated, even more interesting by the addition of other ingredients--like good cheese or bacon.....relish perhaps, but it will never be made better." - Anthony Bourdain, from the chapter entitled 'Meat', in his book Medium Raw.

Jake's Over The Top (Ogden, Utah)

Jake's is famous for their shakes that tower above the rim of the cup, but we are in search of the best burger here!

S's favorite at Jake's is the single burger with ketchup and pickle only. And a side of cheese fries with Jake's dipping sauce. The dipping sauce is their own creation and it's basically BBQ sauce and mayo.

















V. got the Jake's Burger. That's the Jake's sauce in the lower right; they serve it unmixed and you can stir it if you want.
