Best burger in D.C.?
I'm a fan of Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Fresh beef daily (like In-N-Out in Cali), and juicy, too. Their small fries aren't small; the cooks throw in extra fries after putting the cup in the bag.
Chaps Pit Beef - Not Impressed
The place in Cockeysville is called Charcoal Deli and they're open again. They had a fire in April and opened back up in June. I've been to Charcoal Grill in Parkville (live in Parkville) and was uninpressed with their pit beef and pit ham...it was sliced thick and very bland. Charcoal Deli, OTOH, has better flavored pit beef and ham. I've been to Chaps and wan't impressed with their beef, either. Very dry and not dipped in sauce like Charcoal Grill/Deli. I've been recently going to some smaller unknown stands off the beaten path and have found a couple good ones. There's a stand behind the Farmer's Market on Joppa Rd between Loch Raven and Perring (near the Goodwill and Salvation Army). The beef is pretty good...don't like the ham too much, though. There's also one down on Cromwell Valley Rd near the beltway exit for Loch Raven (head towards Providence...he's on the left). He only has lunch hours, though.
