Am interested in your opinions on who has the best burgers in TV? Seem to recall one of the golf courses ranked very highly for burgers??

Tal, I had the black and blue burger at Beef O'Brady's. It was delicious!! I thought it tasted much better than the black and bleu at Palmer's although I like the atmosphere better @ Palmer's. The curly fries that accompanied the burger were crisp and piping hot.

Nothing wrong - except I prefer MacDonald's. I used to like BK but their flamed broiled burger got smaller.

I prefer the burgers at Ruby Tuesday's. Many different variations in both size and flavors. Hive the buffalo burger a try, you won't be disappointed.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the "cheeseburger in paradise" at Lopez's Oasis Grill.
Good handmade burgers in various styles. On Fridays they have a 2 of 1 special and the last time I was there the place was PACKED.
I also like the burger at the Saddlebrook softball snack bar.

Don't think there are any White Castles anywhere nearby, but the South does have Krystals and their belly bombers slide down the gullet about like a WC. :barf: For years, I didn't know they'd let you into a White Castle if you were sober.

I was raised in the South and we always had the Krystal burgers. I was a treat before the picture show.

I go to Ocala just to get a big sack of them. My wife has to keep me out of the sack. Other wise they do not make it home. Oh the aroma!!!!

Fresh, tasty - mouth watering as I type.

I mostly eat burgers so like my husband says "she is a expert". I love McDonalds but I have gone to Beef O Bradys and it was very good...DO NOT GO TO PALMER they can't make a burger to save them..Ruby Tues. are ok but I have gotten a frozen patti there.

When craving a burger I opt for the nearest local bar. To me, they make the best ones.
however
I hope White Castle never comes anywhere close to TV. I love those little things and it would be the death of me cause I'd find myself eating way too many of them. White Castle also has the best mozzarella cheese sticks and I haven't found anywhere else that makes them better. And those onion chips...oh my gawd...so delicious! (heartburn to the max)
Nope...don't want White Castle in TV...no way!

Brightspot01, We still have a few White Castles left in the NY Metro area. Like yourself I have an occasional craving for them. But after I had a few I feel tremendous guilt knowing they can't be any good for you. There was another similar hamburger chain in NYC when I was a kid, White Tower. Don't know if they were owned by White Castle. In stead of 12 cents, the White Tower burgers were probably .50 cents each. George

renielarson
03-10-2008, 10:52 PM
gryoung: Never heard of White Tower so looked it up on Wikipedia. Says it is considered an imitator of White Castle. Also says we have them in Detroit but I've never seen one or eaten at one. But...I don't go to Detroit.

We have White Castles here in Michigan but luckily the closest one is 20 miles away in Ann Arbor and I frequent it maybe twice a year is all. I heard they were building one in a town only 8 miles from me but am seriously hoping that is only a rumor....and I mean seriously cause I'm in that town on a weekly basis!

Oddly enough, White Castle originated in Wichita, Kansas...where I was born and raised. Funny, growing up....never tried it!

White Castle with the five little holes gets my vote. Used to go to the Bronx to get really good ones.

I like Outbacks burgers, but when I want a juicy messy one - then it is McD.

If you are making your own burger at home, add some "Dales Sauce" to the raw meat before cooking. It's in the condiment aisle at most local stores. It is delicious on steaks and chicken also. I also use "Montreal Seasoning" on my burgers, steaks and chicken. It's great.
Another staple is Callendars Greek Seasoning. I buy the salt free version. You can put it on or in a burger, deviled eggs, soups, etc. Delicious.

I agree on the Steak & Shake. It's not Winsteads, but it's close. Just needs a thinner, greasier bun. Love the big slice of pickle and the thick onion. Their fries are pretty good, too.

Never tried Steak and Shake before but will next time in TV. Gonna be hard to fit it into my Weight Watchers diet, though...I can only imagine how many calories are in one of their hamburgers!

Muncle
03-14-2008, 10:02 PM
There can't be many calories in the burger itself. It's almost paper thin. The bun, cheese, and other add-ons might kick it up. As I said, I love 'em, but if you want to get your teeth into the meat, you gotta get at least a double. Their chili 3 and 5-ways is also quite good. And the fries. And the shakes. Damn, it's dinner time and I'm hungry.

Here's their menu: http://www.steaknshake.com/menu/menu.asp

Not sure White Castle actually qualifies as a burger, it's more like steamed meat of some sort. Now don't get me wrong I love the little buggers. But if we're talking hamburgers I vote for either Applebees or Ruby Tuesday. Just my .02

When sober Ruby Tuesday's has two great burgers - the mini sliders (turkey or beef) that come with the salad bar for $8 or the Smokehouse burger (beef, BBQ sauce, Cheddar Cheese, and Onion Rings).

After drinking - Steak N Shake gets the nod! Can't beat grease to relieve the hang over.

Steak and Shake was surprisingly good. The burgers were tasty; the onion rings crispy. For an inexpensive burger, you can't beat em. Thanks for the suggestion.

Villages Kahuna

We shared some great burgers with our neighbors this afternoon. Start with some great Black Angus ground beef from Sweetbay, doctored up with coarse salt, ground black pepper, Montreal Steak seasoning, Worstershire sauce and chopped garlic. Sear the burgers and then slow cook them to juicy doneness on the grill and serve them on some toasted Sweetbay buns.

There you have it. Served with a nice salad, some fresh asparagus, and some of my grill-roasted sliced small redskin potatoes, and you're done. (Slice the potatoes, sprinkle with EVOO and some butter pats, season with coarse salt, ground black pepper, touches of dried basil, rosemary, thyme and chopped fresh garlic and a touch of red pepper flakes and you're ready for roasting. Put 'em in a tinfoil pan and roast uncovered on the grill at about 400-450 for an hour or so, or until browned.)

Then the only question is what do you like best--the burgers or the roasted redskins?

How is the steak in Longhorn? I wouldn't suggest that Outback is a standard for steak houses, but compared to Outback, does Longhorn have a chance. There's not been much said lately about Whiskey Creek. There's plenty of competition now for steak, and with Red Lobster and Bonefish Grill opening, there'll be more choices for seafood as well. Sounds like Weight Watchers can't be far behind.

Has anyone heard of Carl's Jr.? Its similar to McD and BK but I think a lot better burgers. We have them in Los Angeles but not sure where else they are in the country. Best burgers, lots of varieties and very tasty. Bacon/Cheese burgers are delicious with BBQ sauce and a fried onion ring on it. Was hoping they were in Florida but haven't seen them yet.

Haven't had a White Castle since I was a teenager, and that's a very long time ago, so can't remember what they tasted like, just remember they were small and cheap. Never was a fan though.

I have some bad news for you White Castle fans. If you try to eat one when you're sober, it will kill you. It will be a slow and very painful death. Even cheese fries cannot help.

Now nothing against In/Out, 5 Guys, or any other pseudo hamburger joint, but as the famous gourmand Calvin Trillin has testified, the best burger in the world is made at Winsteads.
http://www.answers.com/topic/winsteads?cat=biz-fin

Of course, Calvin also says: "Anyone who doesn't think his hometown has the best hamburger place in the world is a sissy." But he was right about Winsteads.

I am like you. I am not a total vegetarian, but I do not eat beef in any form. I tried the black bean burger at Chiles and it was okay, not great. I had a turkey burger at Too Jays and it was just okay. I wish The Villages would open a restaurant which would serve salads, soups and several vegetarian meals. I also wish there was an Indian restaurant close by since many if not most of their entrees are vegetarian.

Have you tried a Portabella Burger? They are wonderful! We cook them on the grill and they are delicious. :icon_hungry:

Saute garlic in butter, baste the portabellas with the butter and garlic as you cook them. We don't eat meat, we are Pescatarians, and portabellas are a great meat substitute we use them in several recipes that call for beef.

Bon appetite!

I recommend the burgers at the Lopez country club pool cafe; I think they are delicious. Haven't been there for a while but they used to offer two for the price of one on Friday afternoons, so you could check to see if they still do. Those at the Glenview also taste great. There are many other locations in The Villages where I haven't tried them; so I am sure there are other good choices. (We should skip the bun though; or, at least half of it).

Here, as an aside, is some info on the subject of good-tasting burgers. Some may find this interesting; I did, when this demonstration was first shown to me. Yes, many fast food burgers taste great (they are often - I'm not saying that this is true of all brands - chemically engineered to taste great; but, unfortunately, to also have a long shelf-life - there's less concern about 'waste' this way). This is only about fast food burgers, because I do not think that the ground meat used in non-fast-food restaurants is, at least usually, as likely to be full of chemical preservatives.

To see for yourself, if you like fast food burgers, do this: buy one, and leave it in the bag, with the wrapper that the burger comes in loosened, in your car or some other place where it is exposed to air and the environment in the bag for a few days or weeks; or even years; and observe what happens to the patty (and, for that matter, to the bun; leave a few fries in the bag, too; or try this with other foods). At least with some brands, you will find that very little happens, other than the pattie becoming dehydrated and, therefore, shrinking in size and becoming hard. Bugs and ants, for example, will not eat it (so, should we?) Mold and fungus do not appear on it. It does not develop a 'spoiled' odor or appearance.

Ask yourself why; and whether you should continue eating that brand of burger, given that it obviously contains chemical preservatives not intended by nature to go into the human body; with the health implications of that. It is indisputable that ingestion of chemicals ups the risk for degenerative diseases, such as cancer and others.

I'm not saying that that all fast food burger patties are this chock full of chemicals; but I do know several brands that are. I haven't checked them all. But it shows that good tasting food is not necessarily good for you.

Bugs and ants, for example, will not eat it (so, should we?) Mold and fungus do not appear on it. It does not develop a 'spoiled' odor or appearance.

Ask yourself why; and whether you should continue eating that brand of burger, given that it obviously contains chemical preservatives not intended by nature to go into the human body; with the health implications of that. It is indisputable that ingestion of chemicals ups the risk for degenerative diseases, such as cancer and others.

I'm not saying that that all fast food burger patties are this chock full of chemicals; but I do know several brands that are. I haven't checked them all. But it shows that good tasting food is not necessarily good for you.

I like my occasional McD burger - especially the new Angus burgers. Hold the cheese and the mayo but only because I do not like cheese and mayo. Not because of any food fetish.

Anyway - so what would happen if I left a Five Guys burger or a Marguiritaville burger or a Lopez burger in a bag in my car for a few days or a week? I am sure it would become disgusting looking.

I have read many of your posts and I know you are a food aficionado - salads, etc instead of the meat at Golden Corral. Please do not try to ruin it for us that like some of the other things in life.

Hello!

From Merriam-Webster dictionary:
aficionado: a person who likes, knows about, and appreciates a usually fervently pursued interest or activity.

Okay, I am okay with that. I am fervently interested in good food because it not only tastes great, but keeps us alive, and affects the quality of life; and I want to live in The Villages, and be healthy to enjoy it all, for decades! Who would ever want to leave this charmed and magical place?

To answer your query, I would expect that non-chemically-preserved hamburgers left in a car would break down in a natural manner (and as you say, would definitely look disgusting in the process), and would eventually return to the environment naturally, just as they would do if we ate them; and because of that other naturally meat-eating creatures would eat them, also, because they would recognize them as food; they eat only for nourishment, not for entertainment.

Chemically preserved hamburgers, on the other hand, would virtually never look disgusting; just get smaller and harder; but they would linger on and on right there on the car seat, and not break down; that's one of the reasons we have so much colon cancer and other intestinal disorders in the industrialized world. Now, that, ruins things.

Actually, what I had said was that Golden Corral has good meats and other good protein foods, along with the salads, veggies, etc.

Not meaning to ruin anything for anyone; I think of all TOTV's as my friends, whether we have met or not.

Was in TVs this past week... got to admit I enjoyed the 'Turkey Burger' at Mallory CC... after a round of golf, the burger and beer combo was fine!

Beef-O-Brady's in Southern Trace, have them add a extra patty with some hot wing sauce. Now your talking a big and good burger.
