What's your favorite hamburger? The Husk cheeseburger has shown up on lots of best burger lists, including one Bon Appetit editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport put together for The Daily Ticker.
The Daily Meal named it the 11th best burger in the country, Forbes named it one of the nation's 10 must-eat burgers, and Eater named it one of the 38 top burgers in the nation.
Praise isn't new for Husk or its founding chef Sean Brock, a James Beard Award winner.
Here's how Forbes describes the Husk cheeseburger: "Benton's hickory smoked bacon and 100 percent chuck are combined to create two thin patties, which are then seared on a Keating griddle to develop a nice, outer crust. Shaved white onions are steamed on top of one patty and beneath two slices of American cheese, allowing the flavor to seep into the burger while retaining a little crunch. One more slice of cheese is added, along with bread-and-butter pickles and Brock's special sauce that consists of every condiment you'd want on a burger-ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, pickles and jalapeños. It's served on a toasted, housemade buttermilk and sesame seed bun that's moist and soft, yet with a perfect crunch. Keeping with his farm-to-table philosophy, Brock tops the burger with local lettuce and tomatoes only when they're in season."
