Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
It looks pretty horrific to me. The best burger I have ever had came from a little roadside convenience store in Corsicana Texas, Carpenters. It wasn't that it was so big you couldn't get it down without going into convulsions, it was just a great burger made with good meat and vegetables and a bun that was toasted on a buttered grill.

Art's in downtown Phoenix, an old dive building right in the middle of homeless'ville, you wouldn't dare stop there if you didn't know, serves breakfast/lunch only.
The other place is Harbor house, Sunset beach, great burger and salad.
Most of the chain restaurants like applebees and such are just ho hum.
Little Sandy’s Truck stop, just off RT 40 on Keyser Ridge in Maryland. Easily the best I’ve ever had. 7mm

"Best" always come down to individual preferences. Yours and that guy's over there will not agree.
For my part, a great burger would be one that does NOT include weird things like avocado, fried onion rings, pineapple, peanut butter, or edible gold leaf. I want good ground beef cooked medium on an untoasted burger bun. I'd rather have one thick patty than two thin ones. Extras may include one or more of lettuce, tomato, cheese, raw onions or jalapeno slices, plus something like steak sauce or ketchup.
Certainly not from any of the chain places. The best I've eaten are at 1 of 2 very small places owned by the same guy. One's in land of liberals Hailey, ID, called the Snow Bunny. The other's the Wrangler, located in Fairfield, ID, pop 500. Don't be in a rush. You won't get any burgers cooked yesterday like McD's and the places are popular so there's often a waiting line. Milkshakes are the eat-with-a-spoon type. If you eat in, you'll get one of the old fashioned plastic baskets. The Wrangler still has the checkered oil cloths on the tables.

There are great burgers all over the U.S.! Just stay away from Mickey D's, the "King", et.al. Some of the best BBQ I've ever had came from "hole-in-the-wall", off the beaten path huts and roadside stands.
Ralph's in Palestine, Tex had as good a burger as you could get. It's long gone.
Paw-Paw's Onion Burgers in Chickasha, Okla. DO NOT go at 12 noon! The locals swamp them.
The Iron Skillet in Kilgore, Tex. They had homemade fried pies and coffee for breakfast. Went in the first time for breakfast. You could hear, "whop, whop, whop!" coming from the kitchen. I looked through the "pass through" and there were 2 older women swinging 6" cast iron skillets, whopping out burger patties from balls of ground meat! The Diamond Cafe in Taylor, Tex had a burger so good, you could lick the grease off your elbows! LOL! It was about 3 doors down from Louie Mueller's BBQ. One of the top 10 BBQ joints in Texas.
LOVE a good burger! ....and it ain't good unless you have grease running down your arms to drip off your elbows! 😋
Didn't say a damn thing about "healthy"! I said "GOOD"!
The absolute worst I've eaten was at a Burger King in Yakima, WA. I was on the road and stopped for a quick takeout lunch. I was in the car when I bit into it and it was completely cold in the center. It had obviously been in the cooler for a while. I took it back in and asked for a fresh cooked one (I was less than polite). They gave me one that had been cooked until crunchy. They also gave me a complimentary order of fries....stone cold and soggy.

I don’t know about best ever, but I had a good one at a joint called Farm Haus in Indian Land SC this week. Easily one of the better ones I remember.
Folks in Tacoma love this schit hole called Frisco Freeze. Total dump staffed by dirty tweakers. Burgers suck azz. People here get wet in the panties about it though. 🤷♂️

The Cover Burger at the Alamo Springs Cafe in Comfort,Tx. used to be a really great burger.Now,a yankee has taken it over and the food has gone downhill.

For home cooking, Costco sells pre-made patties for about the same price as bulk burger. They come in several sizes and % of fat. A burger with 25% fat will be dripping fat and kicking up the flames. We get the 85 to 90% lean versions. We also have a burger press for making elk burger patties. We'll make up a bunch of them and freeze them for quick meals.
