Beyond New York
International recommendations
Burgerverse ranks mainly New York City (for now). More coming soon!
Worldwide: Burgerdudes
For burgers worldwide, Burgerdudes are our trusted experts. They have been reviewing burgers across dozens of countries since 2009, the Telegraph called them the Michelin Guide of burgers, and they publish The World's Best Burgers, the list we reach for before any trip. Where we have not eaten, they usually have.
Where we have been: Melbourne
Jimmy Hurlston's burger bar in Collingwood, with retired train carriages on the roof. Hurlston is the same Jimmy behind The Down Under, the pop-up that guested at Hamburger America in NYC. If you are in Melbourne, this is the burger to seek out first.
The Australian chain that started in Hawthorn, Melbourne, in 2004 and now covers the country. A chain burger done with real care, and the reliable answer when you are anywhere in Australia and want a burger you can count on.
Closer to home: Arlington, Virginia
A French brasserie with an Alsatian streak on Washington Boulevard in Clarendon, from the Liberty Restaurant Group, the team behind The Liberty Tavern and Northside Social. The menu carries two burgers, the Lyon Hall Burger and a dry-aged beef burger, both on a house-baked IPA roll.
Back home, the full NYC ranking and the guides are where the scores live.
