Food: Ranking 5 Burger Joints from Worst to Best

Recently I've been craving for good burgers. So much so I've tried several different burger joints in a relatively short span of time. Not all of them are good, some are better, and only one of them is the best. When I try a burger, taste is king. Second most important thing I take into consideration is the size. Third thing that sways my opinion is the overall price of the burger. Without further fluff, let's delve into the five burger joints I've tried on a near-consecutive basis :)

Note: I'm not saying these are the top 5 best burger joints I've ever tried. I'm sure there are some really good burger joints out there that I won't be mentioning, like 8cuts.

5. Zark's Burger

Zark's Classic doesn't taste super delicious (the patty is oily yet dry at the same time...) but it's kinda big for its price. Nevertheless, this burger joint is still in my "bad" category -- I might have offended some fans of this burger joint but that's my two cents! You get what you pay for.

4. Shake Shack

For a burger joint with so much marketing behind it, I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed when I tried their actual product, the Shack Burger. The taste is fine -- nothing like the taste of pure Angus beef patties --  but it's just so incredibly small for its price; no one would argue the price is expensive. I might be hurting some fans of this burger joint but for me, this burger joint falls under the B-A-D bad category!

3. Burger King

Burger King's signature Whopper is juicy and packed with ingredients. My only criticism is that they go overkill on the mayonnaise on their burger. Out of all the burgers I tried, this monstrosity probably packs the most calories. Its price is justifiable by its size so the rest is all good. A decent all-around burger joint.

2. Army Navy

Technically not a full-blown burger joint but burger is one of their specialties. It's a bit on the pricey side but the size is right and the burger is deliciously flavorful with all sorts of ingredients; if you like the taste of onion then you've come to the right place. On a side note, service in Army Navy can take a while because the burger is made-to-order. A great burger joint.

1. Pound

Once again on the pricier side of the spectrum, but still not as expensive as a Shack Burger. The serving size of the Pound Burger is slightly small but what it lacks in size it makes up for in taste. Pound lets you tell the waitress how you want your burger. Delicious meaty juices ooze at the medium-rare levels, and they top it off with crispy caramelized onions. A high-end burger joint that deserves the term "high-end".
