"I've always liked getting a burger at Knights in AA." — Eve Aronoff, Executive Chef, Frita Batidos

"In terms of a burger...you know, I'm not a big meat-eater BUT I LOVE the veggie burger at Detroit Vegan Soul. Incredible texture, and I always add coconut bacon because it's amazing." — Lisa Ludwinski, Owner, Sister Pie

"If not here at the 'bird, then Vinsetta Garage. I believe it's the 3 A.M. Burger or house burger...Very similar to ours in style." — Tony Piraino, Partner/Owner, Firebird Tavern

"In Michigan: Redcoat. Outside Michigan: Ted's Montana Grill. The Piedmontese with bacon at Redcoat and at Ted's I order the SpiceBox burger." — Owen Burke, Partner/Owner, Firebird Tavern

"Travis Restaurant in Clinton Township: Melted cheddar, sauteed onions, mushrooms, with a little mayo on a brioche or Kaiser bun." — Jenn Tilton, Executive Pastry Chef, Morning Glory Coffee & Pastries

"Roast's Happy Hour burger. The meat is fresh and I like that they serve it on an English muffin and with an egg. Usually like more of a classic cheeseburger but I like how they do it." — Hubert Yaro, Food Runner, Craft Work
