Eater Readers' Favorite Underrated Burgers: A Checklist

Eater recently asked readers to zero in on the city's underrated burgers: those burgers that don't get the attention or claim that they deserve. Boy, did everyone have an opinion, and courtesy of the tipline and comments section, here's an Underrated Burgers Checklist to help burger fans guide themselves through the city's lesser-known burger destinations. For this checklist of 35 restaurants, we've shied away from the well-known burger joints, though some readers believe such places as Burger 7, Z-Burger, Good Stuff Eatery and Bobby's Burger Palace deserve additional publicity. Share how many of these burgers you've tried in the comments section.
