Iowa
Short's Burger & Shine
Iowa City
The burger: 1006 Melrose
The Rusty Duck and Coon Bowl have won awards for their burgers. Django in Des Moines goes French with theirs, and it's damn good. Christy Creme and Hamburg Inn have nostalgia and tradition on their side. But the best burger we've had in Iowa was the 1006 Melrose at Short's Burger & Shine. The black Angus beef from local Iowa farmer Ed Smith speaks for itself, and though they've got all sorts of fancified options, we always order the simple cheeseburger and sub out the cheddar for American on our yearly pilgrimage to Iowa. Then we go to the Vine.
Nebraska
Dinker's Bar
Omaha
The burger: Cheeseburger, add sautéed onions
We wanted to pick Stella's in Bellevue, mainly so I could just write "STELLLAAAAAAA" and be done. But Dinker's in Omaha is the one. Though they're famous for their Haystack Burger with American, honey-smoked ham, and a fried egg, we're partial to the normal cheeseburger with sautéed onions on their delicious grilled kaiser bun. Oh, and get the onion rings. Always get the onion rings.
Oklahoma
Tucker's Onion Burgers
Oklahoma City
The burger: Double onion burger with cheese
If you're talking about burgers in Oklahoma, you have to talk of their famous onion burgers. And though the legendary places like Sid's Diner and both Johnnie's and Robert's Grill reside in El Reno, we think the best onion burger in the state comes from Tucker's. If you like the spice, you can throw in grilled jalapeños. Otherwise just eating the mix of cooked onions mashed into the beef alongside that melty cheese will make you an onion burger convert. You will inevitably blog about it.
A perfect triple play!
