Here's the deal - the cheeseburger is the quintessential American food. A couple of years back, after reading a review in the Wall Street Journal about the best burgers in the country, only to find that three of the top five were in my own back yard, I decided that I needed to see for myself. With the help of George Motz's "Hamburger America", several lists, recommendations from friends and asking everyone about burgers from "their" town, this is the result...

Miller Union, Atlanta, GA (April 2011)

April kicked off with a bang.  In 2009, Esquire Magazine named Miller Union as one of the best new restaurants of 2010.    We had tried it before, for dinner twice.  It was upscale new Southern - fried pig ear salads, rabbit, quail breast and pork belly combos, etc.  

It is a really nice new restaurant.  But lunch time is the surprise, for me.  On their lunch menu, served Tuesday to Saturday, exists the "daily grind".   I ordered it for the first time on April 2, 2011.   I think I've had at least four since then.   

In my opinion, this is the best burger in Atlanta.  Period.  Better than the Ghetto Burger at Ann's, the double at Holman & Finch, or my current second favorite burger, the Komodo-grilled glory at Muss and Turners.

Juicy.   
Cooked perfectly to order.  
House made ketchup.  
Absolutely wonderful.
  
I SHOULD have gone there today - I was just down the street.  But there's always tomorrow.
