Did This Burger Change Your Life?
Square One burger with Swiss at Black & Orange
Inspired by New York Times critic Pete Wells' recent review of Shake Shack, Esquire is conducting a poll of its readers to find out, "What's the most life-changing burger joint in America?" A couple of local standouts, including D.C.'s Black & Orange, regional-turned-national chain Five Guys and Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, have earned a place among the nominees.
Y&H wants to know: Have any of these burgers really changed your life?

Ray's definitely has!

I'll tell ya who didn't: Elevation Burger
They should change the name to 'Not much different than Checker's' Burger.
Disappointing.

Saint Ex's awesome burger is perennially overlooked in the DC burger wars. Yes, the place is overpriced, often crowded and inexplicably popular given the other two charges, but damn! That's an awesome burger!

i love the basil-rific black and orange burger! go ahead! get a big one. super juicy, fresh ingredients, perfect bun. i unfortunately wasn't impressed with ray's hellburger bleu cheese burger. kinda lackluster for all the hype (i was excited about that one, too.)
ps: try those dipping sauces at b&o. super delish.

If you're looking to hamburgers to change your life, your priorities are all f**ked up.
Now, poutine on the other hand. There's a meal to set your watch to.

5 Guys was the first chain burger I had that didn't taste like it came from the frozen section at Safeway.
Other than the saturated fat shortening my life expectancy I wouldn't call it life changing.

Michel Richard's burger at the bar of Citronelle. Far and above the best!
