Food Network’s Web site is currently featuring a a state-by-state breakdown of its top burgers nationwide, naming Johnnie’s Grill in El Reno No. 1 in Oklahoma.

They don’t describe how the spots were chosen, but I can tell you that they had a number of interns and young would-be food reporters scuttling around by telephone to gather opinion.

A couple years ago, Bon Appetit named the Meers store in Meers as one of the top 3 burgers in the United States, and Food Network ran a 60-minute special.

I guess Bon Appetit didn’t convince them. Anyway, burgers are subjective. You see, I put onion burgers in a completely different class to a hamburger. To me, it’s apples and oranges.  I love them equally, choosing between them is based on mood.

Personally, I’ll take a burger from Flatire burgers inEdmond over just about any of them. Where do you get your burger on? Let me know, and I’ll check them out.
