I thought I’d post another Friday Five because I’m not getting nearly enough Chinese spam yet.   So, without further ado….a completely subjective list of burger places that I like.  Most are in the Austin area, but I had to throw in Fatburger because it’s one of the only things I look forward to when business takes me to Vegas.   And I’m willing to give In-N-Out another try when they open here, but I’m not sold yet

Andice General Store (Florence, TX) – well worth the drive, particularly if the weather is nice.  It’s one of those places you debate keeping as a secret, but too good not to spread the word.

Hopdoddy – I wish it wasn’t so popular, but still worth waiting in line.  Possibly my #1 favorite burger anywhere.  And the fries are good too!

Hut’s – I admittedly don’t go here much anymore, but it was a favorite in college and still a good stop.   And speaking of college, while maybe not the best burger, I’d feel bad for making a burger list and not including Player’s

Mighty Fine – really good burger.   They keep it simple intentionally, but lack of options keeps it from being higher on my list.  Plus the decor – while ago intentionally simple (and borrowing from Rudy’s) – doesn’t add anything.

Fatburger – First time I went here was because it was closer than In-N-Out and I was hungry.  Now it’s a must stop when I’m in a town that has one.
