When it comes to food, people have
different standards to grade its quality, but when it comes to hamburgers it’s
pretty obvious if people like them. Even though some people like their burger
with lettuce, tomato, mushroom, and even an egg, I enjoy the traditional cheese
burger with great fries. Historians can argue about whether fries came from
France or Belgium, but what no American will question about fries is that they
are the life partner to the American hamburger. Atlanta has great restaurants,
some are young and offer new concepts to our city, but some restaurants have
been around for decades. Therefore, it is hard to name the best burger and
fries in our city; however, I intend to explore the most famous as well as the best
undercover restaurants, to find the best burgers and fries in town.

As a Hamburger lover, I will rank
the burgers in the city by giving them “Gold
Burgers” from 0 to 5. This week, I choose Holeman and Finch.
Holeman and Finch opened for
business in 2008, and over the last couple of years their hamburgers have
become famous as they only serve 20 burgers per night. Just think about it for
a second, the idea of being part of a select group of 20 people makes me feel
unique and that I am a winner. On Sundays you can also enjoy their burgers for
brunch between 11 am to 3pm.
Whether it is their strategy or not,
Holeman and Finch’s burger has become an icon in Atlanta. People talk about
them, and I always heard they were fantastic.
Last October Ponce City Market opened its doors; since then, every restaurant
that opens its doors there has been successful. Holeman and Finch opened a
burger/only location here, and on the weekends you have to wait in the line for
almost 30 minutes to be served.
Atlanta magazine in 2015 named
Holeman and Finch as the fifth best destination for a Hamburger in the city.
Stay tuned this week to read about my experience, and if I agree with Atlanta magazine.
