There aren’t many ways Rochester is better than Atlanta, but one I noticed right away is lack of true burger joints. No, sorry Hipster Douche, Five Guys / Fudruckers / Flip Burger / YEAH! Burger etc…do not count. These establishments are right in line with the ATL m.o., take an American classic and some how make it “gourmet” or otherwise the perfect place for you you find this guy hanging out at:

What I’m talking about is a greasy hole in the wall. A place you’re proud to call your own. Buying your grade-d beef patty garbage plate with homemade macaroni salad and tater tots that can incite turf wars at 3 AM is the norm. Here, let me name a few: Nick Tahou’s, Empire Hots, Bill Gray’s, Tom Wahl’s, Charlie’s, Schallers, the list goes on…

Listen up Atlanta, you’ve officially been put on notice!
