Sacramento Bee - Great Burgers


The Sunday April 18th 2010 edition of the Sacramento Bee had a front section story by food critic Blair Anthony Robertson about the best burgers in town. Split into three categories: Highbrow (Fancy Restaurant), Middlebrow (Casual Restaurant), and Order-at-the-counter (Diner/Fast Food), Mr. Roberston has run afoul the same problem I face... placing an objective standard (ratings) on a purely subjective matter (personal palate). He opted to just pick the "best" from a price range, and leave the rest to the readers to glean from his personal review. I have been to over half the places he visited, and agree with most of the descriptions and his placement decisions. And for the rest, I will visit you soon!
