OK, I like WhataBurgers, (and LottaBurgers which are a similar NM icon), but the best burgers in the world?
Hardly.
Above average for a fast food franchise, but not really that great compared to what a cook who really takes pride in his / her work can put out.
The best burger I ever had, was a buffalo (bison) burger at a little place at one end of the Rio Grande Gorge bridge in Colorado. I once drove 300 miles out of my way just to have another, but sadly found that the place was only a pile of bulldozed rubble.
I still dream of those burgers occasionally.
You can't be serious?
Burger Boy, Cedar Crest NM. Beyond good.

I know the feeling. There was a place in Phoenix called Lobby's that is gone now.
If you are ever in Durango, Co. try the Tatanka burger at Carver’s brewery. Get a pint of their Raspberry Wheat Ale and you are in heaven.

Oh no. Can’t imagine the disappointment.
