Funny Tommy's story (actually I have quite a few) - was about my 3rd date with this gal I'd ben seeing and she had mentioned that she really liked good burgers on one of our dates. So i took her to (the original )Tommy's (on Rampart) - well - that was our last date - she accused me of not respecting her - of taking to a "rest room" to eat - lol ...well glad I found out quick about her (actually she was pretty cool otherwise)...
I've had friends from out of town visit who took back Tommy's burgers by the box on the plane with them...yup..
Simply the best - the ultimate in a burger...what can i say...

Tommy's is one of my favorite places to eat and has been for years. But I will admit that their burgers are good only because they have Tommy's amazingly delicious chili on it. Tommy's chili makes it good. The burger itself is just a burger. That said, they have some ass-kicking fries.
In-N-Out also as a fantastic burger. A 5x5 animal is ideal and it is exceptional.
But that doesn't mean The Counter can't compare. It can and it does. If you feel like a burger, it is impossible to be diappointed by it. It's delicious. I get a 2/3 lb beef patty with roasted chiles, tomatos, grilled onions, black olives and a peppercorn steak sauce and it rocks like devil. It's pricier but worth it for sure.

Stark I hear you. Not at all meaning to disparage The counter - I love those gormond type burgers as well. The thick & juicy black angus type burgers - yum yum! - a brew pub near me - Old Dominion has a great one that they do with a blue cheese toppong that is just out of this world!
Here in DC area the equivilant to the Tommy's burger is perhaps 5 Guys - a great fried burger (no chilli but lots of different toppings) - also with delicious fries - fresh cut - they even list where the potatoes come from & type (gimmik certainly)- and they offer cajun dusting as well as vineagar (an East coast thing I think....) (yup the Tommy's fries with chilli and cheese are simply the best fry type food in the business - that chilli really does make it) Special mention to the Vienna Inn for their chilli dogs (its also a Tommy's like cult place - chilli not nearly as good...but its a cool [old time] hangout in its own right - and they serve many diff kinds of beer...)
