I like burgers well enough, but don't love them to the point that I travel to somewhere as a destination anymore. I guess I can appreciate the specialty places that tell me the composition of the beef (1/3 short ribs, 1/3 sirloin, 1/3 chuck), but mostly, if I'm going somewhere for burger, I want a nice medium rare, some melted cheese (not on the bun, on the burger), perhaps some bacon (sauteed onion on occasion) and a good bun to burger ratio where I'm not eating just bun and I'm not having a soggy piece of bun holding together a morass of falling apart chopped meat.

A good pub/tavern should be able to deliver that without too much deviation. Sure some are better than others, but once you get to the realm of "just a damn good burger" they shouldn't be that much of a difference that you need to seek out the ultimate one. Give me a good burger, a decent pint or 4, and I'm as sound as a pound.

I dont know what the mix is but I did hear that a another local deli tried to get the same blend for his burgers from the same vendor, and the guy refused to give him the same exact proportions. I give the guy credit for that.
