For those who partake—and if you don’t, please reconsider—the burger is a quintessential indulgence. Carbs and fats and all the sauces known to humanity, brought together into a grabbable, portable sandwich of a meal. These days, the hamburger can be found at everything from roadside stands to the finest of restaurants. But all of us who seek them out in new and unknown dive bars and diners, we’ve eaten plenty of bad ones and a whole lot of overpriced ones at chef-y restaurants. Luckily, our team of burger experts (yes, this is part of our job description) has scoured this fine country for the finest patties found between two buns. We’ve discovered the best burgers in America between the purple mountain majesties, hit the diners between amber waves of grain, and, well, you get it: we’ve eaten the best cheeseburgers in the U.S. to come up with the definitive list of the best burgers in every state.
