Hubcap Grill | Houston, Texas
Over the years, Hubcap Grill has grown into a mini-Houston burger empire with a few locations and an outpost airport. Such expansion puts them on the brink of becoming too much of a powerhouse for a list like this, and who doesn’t want to enjoy a transcendental burger at the airport instead of a combo of Kind bars and crippling loneliness? Oh yeah, the patties here are big, hand-shaped, and glorified, meaning they need to be paired with substantial toppings such as a very thick caramelized onion and a structurally sound yet pleasant bun. — ML

Keller’s Drive-In | Dallas, Texas
Dallas has fancier burgers than Keller’s. In Dallas, there are certainly more expensive burgers, where they always check-in for less than 3 dollars. But, as discovered by our intrepid burger critic, there are only a few more rewarding experiences than discovering the half-century-old charms of burgers on this classic drive, jukebox, etc. — ML
