How much can you vary the classic hamburger? Apparently, a lot. Here are three burgers that I’d like to try.
1. The Chop House Burger. This burger was featured on “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” and comes from Chop House Burgers in Arlington, Texas. Beef brisket is actually mixed in with the ground beef to form a super tender patty, which is then topped with house made steak sauce, apple wood bacon and smoked cheddar cheese.

2. The Ramen Burger. I was alerted to this in an LA Times article. It’s mostly still in concept form (although 100 were sold at Smorgasbord on Aug. 3 in Brooklyn), yet ramen enthusiast Keizo Shimamoto has developed a huge following for this burger, which replaces the bun with ramen noodles.

3. The Douche Burger. This burger, which comes from a NY food cart called 666 Burger, costs $666. It’s a Kobe beef patty wrapped in gold leaf and topped with foie gras, caviar, lobster, truffles, imported aged Gruyere cheese, a kopi luwak barbeque sauce and Himalayan rock salt. Rumor has it the burger comes with three $100 bills.
