I love me a good burger and 5 Florida restaurants have made Yelp’s list of the best 100 burger spots in America.
May 28 was National Burger Day and personally, I don’t think burger consumption should be limited to just one day. Whether it’s a enjoying a burger at a restaurant or on the grill in my backyard in Fort Myers, burgers are one of my favorite foods.
So what makes a good burger? Well first, let’s start with the buns. But do you prefer a classic sesame seed bun? Or a trendy brioche? The bun should provide the perfect balance between flavor and texture, complementing the ingredients rather than overpowering them. Then we have the patty, the star of the show. The secret to a fantastic burger lies in the quality of the meat and the art of the seasoning. The patty should be juicy and cooked to perfection.
Now, let’s talk about the cheese – that gooey, melty, glorious layer of goodness. From sharp cheddar to creamy Swiss, the cheese choice can make or break a burger. Of course when it comes to other toppings, you have options! From the classic lettuce, tomato, and onion to more adventurous options like arugula, candied bacon, jelly or mac n cheese. These unique flavors can elevate a good burger to a great one.
So how did Yelp put together their list? They looked at businesses in the restaurants and food categories with a large amount of reviews mentioning “burgers”. Then they ranked them based on how many reviews and how they were rated. If you want to check out the full list, click here. Below are where Florida restaurants serving up the best burger ranked.
