"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.

Nate's East Coast Grill (Ogden, UT)

Nate's East Coast Grill specializes in cheesesteak sandwiches but they also have burgers.  There is a lot to like about Nate's East Coast Grill, especially the following:

  • It's locally owned and family-run.
  • The hand cut, homemade, deliciously crispy fries.
  • They are kind to those of us who suffer from food allergies and were willing to check ingredient labels.
  • The food is tasty!
  • Even though the focus is on cheesesteaks and burgers, they also have vegetarian options.
