10 notable Baltimore-area burger spots [Pictures]
Given the ingredients, it's easy to think the new breed of burger spots are pretentious. Not so. Whether it's the name brand Bobby's Burger Palace (the brainchild of chef Bobby Flay) or the boutique BGR Joint, these places are mostly fast casual. The emphasis is on the burger, not the setting.
We tried 10 specialty burgers, from places which use fresh ground ingredients, cooked to order. While some rose above the rest, they were all tasty alternatives to the plain old hamburgers of yesteryear. --John Houser III

Turkey burger
Burger Brothers, 14 Allegheny Ave., Towson
410-321-1880, burgerbrosburgers.com Turkey burgers tend to be bland, dry affairs, but this one ($5.99) is juicy and delicious. Served on a toasted brioche bun, it's a light alternative to the normal burger which will make you a believer in the power of poultry. |

The point of the article was to highlight higher quality burger joints that serve a good hamburger in the Baltimore area (not Baltimore proper). Yes, there may be some chains on the list and I was wary as well in the beginning, but going to those places turned me around as to the care they take to put out a good product. If there were any burger-centric restaurants that I missed please let me know. I won't be eating ANY burgers in the near future, but I will check them out when I'm not made mostly of ground beef. Thanks for reading the article (whether you like it or not). Cheers! John.
Omission of the Hamilton Tavern's Crosstown Burger from this list is scandalous.
And Five Guys representing the exotic? Five Guys?
