The Tuckaway Tavern and Butchery in Raymond, New Hampshire, has been named the top spot for burgers in the state, according to Chowhound, a go-to site for food lovers. This recognition comes just in time for National Hamburger Day on May 28.
Burgers come in many styles. Even the "classic" ones can differ greatly, especially when it comes to toppings. The Chowhound list, highlighting the best burger from each state, showcases various preparation methods. It’s part of a larger trend of celebrating unique burger creations across America.
Chowhound sifted through over 80,000 burger joints in the U.S., using taste tests, online research, and insights from local food communities. They found that The Tuckaway shines with its high-quality beef. Their O.G. Tavern Burger features a hefty 10-ounce patty made from humanely raised beef, paired with cheese of your choice.
The list also reveals fascinating variations. For instance, in Hawaii, the Honolulu Burger Co. offers the “Alpha Elvis,” made with bacon, banana, and peanut butter. Meanwhile, in St. Louis, Mike Duffy’s features a Cajun burger with spicy jalapeños and a customizable black bean and quinoa burger.
Burger trends reflect changing tastes. A recent survey by the American Food Association found that 70% of consumers are trying new flavors, signaling a shift in how people enjoy this classic dish.
As Jane Godiner from Chowhound notes, whether you’re a fan of traditional burgers or more adventurous options, these eateries have something for everyone. The landscape of burgers in America is ever-evolving, blending classic comfort with modern twists. For more insights, you can check out Chowhound’s full list.
