Is it fair to pit an American chain against local joints? After all, at least five Americans claim to have invented the hamburger (they battled it out in the late 1800s). But why mess with success? Hard Rock Café’s burgers are ‘still quite original’, says Ed Soon. ‘[And] why would anyone want to have a different burger when it has already been perfected?’ Try the classic bacon cheeseburger on a toasted bun ($14.90).
Burgers $14.50-$24.50++.
