85 % lean , high quality ground beef, Worcestershire , black pepper , chopped green onion, chopped fresh jalapeno, chopped fresh basil, a little fresh garlic, all mixed in the meat. top with tillimook smoked cheddar, or smoked Gouda ,lettuce , tomato ,thin cut onion. my favorite. I will sometimes add pan seared panchetta and some of the grease to the ground beef before cooking on the grill.
Kuma's in Chicago. A metal burger place. Usually an hour wait to be seated (well worth it). Great metal playing on the stereo, and each burger is named after a metal band.

Yep, sounds gimmicky. But strip all the metal aside, and you still have a menu full of the best burgers I've ever had.
Thanks to this thread I finally got off my ass and went to The Counter, which I had been meaning to do for a long time. Not the original in SM, but a newer one in Marina. Good burgers and fixin's. Solid recommendation.
