The do-it-yourself Hye Burger at Amir's Shish Kebob in Fresno
Amir's Kabob-2023 W. Bullard, Fresno
The Big Smasher Burger at Chili's in Fresno. It's a SMASH!
Chili's Grill & Bar-7010 N. Fresno St., Fresno
Hooray for the Chili Cheese Burger at Sanger's Chuck Wagon!
Chuck Wagon-1203 Academy Ave., Sanger
Avocado-Cadabra! The California Burger at Huckleberry's is magic!
Huckleberry's-2100 Clovis Ave., Clovis
Open wide for the Peppercorn Bleu Burger at Tahoe Joe's in Fresno!
Tahoe Joe's-7006 N. Cedar Ave., Fresno
The Verdict-Any of these burgers could make your taste buds sing, but I have to give my "propers" to the Hye Burger at Amir's Shish Kebob. It's a different spin on the typical burger that is an eye-opener. Besides, I like the bigger-than-life picture of Frank Sinatra on the wall.
Try something different at a restaurant that's an old favorite.
Happy eating!
