The Best South Carolina Burger, According to Reader’s Digest
The ability to create the perfect burger is an artform. Now, the best South Carolina burger has been revealed, thanks to the tasting experts at Reader’s Digest. The thing that’s so great about South Carolina burgers is that they’re the perfect meal any time of year. While summer usually brings imagery of great burgers sizzling on the grill, there’s nothing wrong with a fantastic burger in the fall or winter, too.
Reader’s Digest Names the Best South Carolina Burger
Reader’s Digest has released a new list of the best burgers in America, including the best South Carolina burger. After doing the tasting, the experts picked one burger per state to highlight. These restaurants “are some of the most loved and reviewed by burger fanatics, and they’ve been awarded by critics and competitions,” Reader’s Digest states.
Before we get to South Carolina, let’s look at a few other choice burgers across America. In New York, Reader’s Digest’s pick for the best burger is Peter Luger. They note that even thought Peter Luger is “one of the most famous spots to enjoy a steak in New York,” they also make a fantastic burger. “At Peter Luger in Brooklyn and on Great Neck, Long Island, the focus is on the quality of the beef, and the prime dry-aged meat that goes into Luger’s juicy, medium-rare burgers will have you begging for more.” That sounds delicious to me, especially if there are some vegetarian burger options. Going out West, in California, the best burger in the state, according to the feature, is Pie ‘n Burger in Pasadena. They offer “classic diner fare seven days a week to locals and burger tourists,” as well as delicious milkshake and fries on the side. If you’re heading up to Washington, Seattle’s Lil Woody’s is a great spot for a burger. Reader’s Digest notes that “Lil Woody’s works with local vendors to source the ingredients used at its Seattle locations,” so you’ll get fresh, local ingredients from Washington and neighboring states.
So, what’s the best South Carolina burger? Reader’s Digest says it’s at Grill Marks, which has locations in Greenville and Columbia. “You can build your own, selecting everything from the type of patty to the toppings and bun,” they recommend. For the very best South Carolina burger, they also suggest trying the French Connection, which offers “roasted garlic, brie, caramelized onions, and Cabernet ketchup.” In North Carolina, their top pick is Brooks’ Sandwich House in Charlotte. I can’t wait to get my burger.
