"Put this home-grown burger joint at the top of your list. This cult favorite serves up smashed patties and falafel burgers with a touch of Asian-diasporic ingredients — all assembled to diners’ specific preferences. Grab its checklist-style menu and choose between sweet sourdough, brioche, rye, or lettuce buns. Pack on toppings like seared spam, kimchi relish, pickled or charred jalapenos, and choose sauces like scallion aioli or sambal mayo for dipping or slathering. If you don’t want to drive: Burger-chan offers delivery within an 8-mile radius of the restaurant through its online delivery platform." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Since launching in 2016, this fast-casual burger bar has garnered a loyal following, and for good reason. Its burgers are built with 2- or 5-ounce 44 Farms beef patties and can be customized to your liking. A 2-ounce burger starts at under $6 — but you can make it a double for just a couple more dollars. Then, add interesting toppings like onion strings, kimchi relish, and charred jalapenos for $1 each." - Brianna Griff
