Wow, didn't have time to read through the thread before... Wouldn't have expected someone to have mentioned Rudnick's.

BBQ place in Waynesburg... Hot Rods. The Garbage Burger. 1/2 lb patty topped w/ bbq pulled pork, cheddar and "texas toothpicks" (which are deep fried jalapeno and onion straws). Ridiculous. They also do a smoked burger special on Wednesdays which is awesome.

Their mushroom swiss burger gets honorable mention... topped w/ deep fried portabellos and a sweet onion dressing that just makes the whole thing.

For sheer ridiculousness, Rudnick's in Mariana... you basically get a meatloaf on a bun. But the meat is really high quality so it's not just a gimmick... they're damn tasty too. You just don't need to eat anything for the rest of the day.
The garbage burger sounds great, but it's 7 hours from me. :thumbdown:

Surprised that no one has mentioned the Flair burger from Chotchkie's as their favorite. Standard combo order comes with a minimum 15 fries, but you always add more.

I had a burger at some place in Mt Washington over the weekend with grilled cheese sammiches substituting for the bun. It was really good.

It's at the SLS on the Strip at Sahara.

There's also a José Andrés restaurant called Bazaar Meat at the SLS. Super spendy, but outstanding cuisine. Stop off at the bar for a few modernist cocktails and appies, then head to Umami Burger on the other side of the casino floor.

Are the burgers that good there? Myself and another co-worker were out in that area a few years ago, and were not at all impressed with their food. :( Maybe we should have gotten a burger!

Okay. That does it. I have to make it back Greene Co in May. Apparently, I have to hit Hot Rods (for the Garbage Burger) in Waynesburg and Rudnick's in Marianna.

You guys know what burger is great. Don't laugh, but the McDouble at McD's. It costs like a dollar with change and it's so damn good with a little bit of catchup. Gotta eat 2, cuz they're small.
