Food & Drink MSP's best under-the-radar burgers

The Appa Burger

The Rabbit Hole, Whittier

From the same dudes behind The Left Handed Cook, this place actually slings Goobers (good + burger = ... well, you know). This one's the Appa (with smoked bacon, bleu, Gruyere, bourbon onions, arugula, tomato jam, kimchi aioli & a fried egg) and is wayyy better than the other kind of Goobers. And Raisinets.



The Melch Me

Melch's Meat Wagon, Mobile

People are always talking about being on/off the wagon. But if Melch's Meat Wagon were the wagon, no one would ever get off, because they serve what looks like a fairly standard bacon cheeseburger that actually ALSO HAS A WHOLE CHICKEN BREAST ON IT, and comes on a pretty sweet pretzel bun.

The Quarky Corki

Andy's Garage, Midtown Global Market

Nestled inside the Midtown Global Market, Andy's Garage is everything you'd want from a classic American greasy spoon-style burger joint, including The Quarky Corki, which combines cream cheese, spicy jam, and bacon.

The Mother of All Burgers

B-52 Burgers & Brew, St. Paul

This M.O.A.B. boasts four half-pound patties that're topped with four slices of cheese, four fried eggs, a half-pound of BBQ pulled pork, 12 slices of bacon, and onion rings, plus, in a move you'll Love (Shack), it's stuffed in an Italian loaf branded with the B-52 logo.
