7. BLT Burger
470 Sixth Ave between 11th and 12th Sts (212-243-8226); $11
What's in the Beef
The BLT burger comprises seven ounces of certified Black Angus sirloin, chuck, short rib and brisket from Pat LaFrieda, ground daily.
How it's cooked
Grilled to order with a good char: The burger’s richness is helped along by the addition of sweet butter from Keller’s Creamery in upstate New York.
Toppings
“BLT sauce”—ketchup, mayo and relish—that suspiciously resembles McDonald’s, and bread-and-butter pickles, iceberg lettuce and tomato.
Bun
The Arnold’s sesame-seed bun reminds us of another fast-food stalwart, the Whopper, and brings this burger down a notch.
Bonus points
Excellent Vidalia onion rings fried in a “healthy” mix of peanut and soy oils, and a killer Black Cow float (cola and chocolate ice cream).

u missed the lure burger....read about it on eater and its the secret given at a fish joint but it is a upscale version of in-n-out burger....you have to order "lure style" otherwise you get a normal version.
