The average American family dines on burgers about three times a week. Adults like them, kids like them. For serious fans so much goes into the proper burger — the meat, the seasoning, the toppings, the grill, even the bun — so getting a truly good one isn’t all that common.

Again, our Monmouth County area has many quality choices in this popular food category. In discussions with shore area residents there’s some general agreement on the better ones. They all have their own burger faves, of course. In no particular order, here are some I keep hearing about:
