Love a hot mess of meat in your mouth? (TWSS or as they'd say on Commercial Rd in Prahran, TWHS) A good burger is SEX, no doubting that at all. If you could ONLY choose one, what would you rather;

a) Hung over sex.
b) Hung over amazing burger.

No you cannot have both, the 'All-things-awesome Nazi', says NO!
Tough choice right? You can bet your pocket money on that.

NYmag has compiled their favourite double burgers in the city of the big apple. Irrelevant to us distance challenged obese cousins, yet can still whet your appetite into a meat patty craving frenzy.

The beauty of the stacked ingredients is enough to have vegans feeling green, and not in a good way. To us cow tippers, this shit has got me wanting a second wind. Grease envy much?


Shake Shack - The single Shackburger, it must be said, is a thing of beauty, but the $7.25 double might be even better. Topping it with a deep-fried, cheese-squirting portobello in a Shack Stack, though, is just asking for trouble.


Halfsteak - Shane McBride is no fan of McDonald’s, but his new $11.50 burger might be the ultimate answer to the Big Mac: two all-beef patties (seared in a skillet), special sauce (well, ketchup, mustard, and mayo), lettuce (chiffonnade), cheese, pickles, onion (chopped up for ease of consumption), on a (housemade) sesame-seed bun.


Txikito - The $11 Basque-inspired “El Doble,” offered at lunch, is cooked a la plancha, garnished with Idiazábal cheese and sliced cornichons, and slicked with a garlic-and-guindilla-pepper-seasoned crème fraîche mayo. A Tom Cat Bakery bun conforms perfectly to the sandwich’s voluptuous curves.


Five Guys - At this Virginia-based chain, unless you order a “little burger”—and who really wants to do that?—you get a double ($6.99) by default. A foil-wrapped, well-done double, since that’s the only way they come. Still, it manages to retain enough juice and a nice bit of flavor.


City Burger - This pizza-chain spinoff has gained a modicum of fame for introducing Pat LaFrieda’s dry-aged, ground-steak Black Label burger. That’s available off the menu as a double for a whopping $19.99, but we prefer the $10.75 house double cheeseburger, although the patties are on the too-thick side. (fuck me!)


Dram Shop Bar - Modeled on a partner’s South Dallas family recipe, the $10
double cheeseburger at this lively bar incorporates two square patties, well browned on the griddle, plus the usual accoutrements: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mustard, mayo, and—in accordance with Texas law—no ketchup.


I find myself internally talking to myself in the same way i'd be 'making love' to Sasha Grey. Dirty, dirty thoughts.
