replying to u/pigeonmachine: Definitely agree that, of the burgers I've had (in the Blackbird Burger League or elsewhere), Lovely's is probably the best bang for your buck. The best? Damn, I dunno. I actually find rating and ranking burgers (all foods, honestly) to be pretty hard -- unless you're doing a side by side taste test or unless you're served a cold burger (RAF's, that was you, sadly).
