Have you tried The Counter in Irvine?? Wow! Yummy but pricey. You get to build your own burger or choose one of their own. Still no IN and OUT but it'll do!

I'll have to give it a try, thanks.
My hubby is watching the old chloresterol (spelling IDK) so we've been really into veggie burgers, they are surprizingly delish. Although I still cover mine in a pould of sauce, cheese and onions so who can taste the burger after that.

I love the burgers at Islands. Usually I get the Maui and add onion strings.

I know this group is focused on burgers in Orange County, but I'd like to suggest that you try a burger from 5 Guys in Carson or Cerritos. They're delicious because you have a greater variety of toppings to choose from, and they're free! I think their fries are better than In n Out's, too!

Try the burger at The Landing in Newport. Great ambience on the balcony and superb beef product. T.K. Burger near the pier in Newport is quality burger heaven as well. If you're in Dallas or Ft. Worth, try Kincaids, and/or Snuffer's. On Oahu, try Kua Aina sprinkled around the island, but closest to Waikiki at Ward Center.

The best fries can be made in your kitchen:

Use Russets or Yukon Gold.

Fry frenched slices until just before browning. (Peanut Oil is preferable.)

Remove from oil, and place on paper towel lined platter for a bit.

Fry again until browned to your liking.

Sprinkle liberally with Kosher Salt (while hot), douse with White Truffle Oil from TJ's, a tad bit of Parm Reggiano or Grana Padano, and chopped Italian Parsley.

French Fry Perfection. Enjoy.

Vicky,

I wrote a thank you for your Five Guys Burger suggestion, and, after finishing the post--the website stated that you moderated your comment/incoming comments--and all my stuff was wiped out. FYI

Hi Everyone,

I just ate at 25 degrees restaurant in HB today and just had to recommend it to this group! The burgers are very good and VERY BIG, 9 ounce patties in fact. You can either pick from one of their 4 combos or make your own burger with a sirloin, veggie, or turkey patty and top it off with cheeses like gruyere and toppings like jalapeno bacon & garlic aioli. YUM!

Yes, it is pretty greasy but that's pretty much implied with burgers, right? And if you don't mind the loud music bar/restaurant vibe, I definitely recommend it!

Thanks for the rec on the Goodell's latest project. HB has done a nice job of classing up the downtown area. So, Jules how does 25deg. match up to The Counter or any other local faves? Also, you're telling me it's possible to have a great burger that's not made with ground chuck?? Hmm. I'll have to check them out. . . .
