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.

Hudson's Hamburgers (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho)
So we know it's very unlikely that we will travel all the way to Coeur d'Alene for lunch, but while there for work we stumbled across an amazing burger. And we do mean amazing.
In a little tiny shop on Sherman Avenue in Coeur d'Alene is Hudson's Hamburgers, which has been in operation there since 1907.
We liked it so much we ate there four times during the week we were in Coeur d'Alene. Yep, four times.
Hudson's is so tiny it only has 17 seats at a counter. No tables. No servers. No hostess. But always a line up of people waiting for a burger. They have the most perfect business model. Burgers, drinks, pie, and nothing else. No chips or fries with that burger. A hamburger costs $2.20 and a double cheeseburger is less than $5.00. They take a handful of ground beef and form the patty right there at the grill. Nothing is frozen.
They have two sauces for which they are famous. One is a spicy mustard and boy was it spicy. Too spicy for S. but V. sure enjoyed it.
After you finished your burger they asked you if you wanted a refill. That's right, another burger. The record is nine double cheeseburgers. Where else can you get a refill on your burger?
nd the way they sliced pickles is beyond description. S. only wishes she had dared to ask them to let her videotape it.
Burger heaven and oh so simple: beef, onion, pickle, and cheese.
