ROADFOOD.com-Although this fine old dairy bar has a menu of sandwiches and hot meals and is justly famous for its homemade ice cream, its way with cheeseburgers is nothing short of spectacular. Three or four slices of cheese extend far beyond the edges of the burger as it cooks, so the cheese melts directly onto the surface of the grill, turning chewy and crisp. The hamburger with its soft cheese on top and its halo of textured cheese all around is hefted onto a bun to become one memorable sandwich!

2277 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA (404-948-1175)

Best flipped upside down and eaten as fast as humanly possible to manage its gushiness, the burger created by Chef Linton Hopkins is as much an event as it is a sandwich. A bullhorn sounds at 10 p.m. (official burger time), and the crowd goes wild. Hesitate a minute and the limited quantity (they make only two dozen a night) will be gone. The glossy buns baked in their bakery next door contain two patties of freshly ground, grass-fed beef (chuck and brisket in equal proportions), a slice of Kraft American cheese, a pinch of raw red onion, bread-and-butter pickles, homemade ketchup, and yellow mustard. Crisp golden fries are part of the deal. Those who miss out on the burger can always come back for Sunday brunch, when the kitchen makes 72 of them. —Christiane Lauterbach, Atlanta Magazine restaurant columnist

Chicago: Rosebud Steakhouse

192 E. Walton St. Chicago, IL (312-397-1000)

Any city that glorifies steak as much as Chicago does is going to be a great burger town, too. What makes Rosebud’s burger the very best? It starts with 12 ounces of custom-ground prime beef, about 80-percent lean, cooked with steakhouse precision and placed on a yielding but substantial pretzel bun that easily handles the burger’s weight and juiciness. The meat is slightly sweet but with a beefy tang and richness that makes melted cheese utterly superfluous. All this in a splendid white-tablecloth, cherrywood-clad dining room. The burger is the star of the lunch menu and technically is only on the bar menu at night, but the truth is that you can ask for the burger anywhere in the dining room and the waiters won’t bat an eye. Standard features include lettuce, tomato, pickle, and hot, bistro-thin fries. Optional equipment includes cheese, applewood bacon, caramelized onions, or mushrooms —Phil Vettel, Chicago Tribune restaurant critic
