Asking.

If I want a truly elite burger I go to any of the steakhouses in town that are open for lunch and get a nice fresh medium rare burger with cheese, meat, bun and nothing else. But I want a different kind of elite burger.

For example, whenever I go to Kansas City, I go to http://towntopic.com/ and have incredible flat griddle fried up juicy yummy elite no-pretense burgers. There's gotta be a place here in town that does that, be it a bar or a diner or a burger stand.

Edit: Good Town Topic article

Steiners is fairly elite... I'm not sure it's the best though. I have not tried Bachi Burger as yet.

Steiners burgers are pretty good. Better than Bachi imo.

Fixed that for you.

As a fat guy, I kinda consider myself an expert on greasy burgers. That said, I've not been nearly as adventurous as I could be when it comes to trying new places. The usual fast food places are always good - In n Out and Five Guys are tasty enough. Farmer Boys is damn good. Cheeburger Cheeburger has been growing on me. Fuddrucker's is expensive, but the bison and elk burgers are fantastic. When the weather warms up, the Fukuburger food truck is a must-go as often as possible.

I know as soon as I hit 'submit' I'll think of another place that should be included on this list.
Edit: Yup, knew it. Lumberjack's. It's a smaller chain but the one time I went there, I was more than satisfied.

This list was posted back in April 2013 of top 32 mention burger places in Las Vegas. 32 is a long list, so I am curious if there is a standout on this list from the 2p2 community.

Burger Bracket list

If you do decide to grease it up at farmer boys, give the fried zucchini a go. Breaded in cornmeal... NOM!

Dammit. Completely forgot about Grind and Fat Choy. Two fantastic places. Pretty decent list - haven't been everywhere on there but I've been to a majority.

They cook the patties until it's impossible to tell whether it was meat, fowl, or fish before they ruined it. It's fat alright, but there's no juiciness to it, and it tastes like crap.
I too had a bad experience at the one at Borgata, as it tasted nothing like ones on the west coast. However the strip location has always been solid and I prefer it over in-n-out.

Staying at PH and looking for a place where I can have a late breakfast. Preferably with seating at the bar, just like the Grand Lux cafe at Venetian/Palazzo but closer to PH.

Thx

What time? Paris breakfast buffet is good but ends at 10 or 11. Mon Ami Gabi in Paris also has really good breakfasts.

The Henry across the street at Cosmo would be another option

For some reason I've always enjoyed the burgers at LBS at Red Rock, but not really what Clark is looking for.

Anyone know a place to get delicious breaded wings? Not buffalo wings, just regular tasty wings.

An example of wings that I used to love are the ones they had at Ponderosa Steakhouse (not sure if those still even exist).

I have to say I recall them looking more appetizing, but...



I assume they're fried.

I will settle for any good recommendation on non-buffalo wings, though.
