This month's Travel + Leisure features a list of America's 20 best burger cities as ranked by their readers from a list of 35 major cities—that is, it's not exactly a definitive list. (T+L made a list last year, too.) In case you don't feel like clicking through the slideshow, here are the rankings:


1.Providence

2.Philadelphia

3.Chicago

4.Houston

5.San Juan, P.R.

6.San Diego

7.Minneapolis/St. Paul

8.Kansas City, MO

9.New York City

10.Los Angeles

11.Denver

12.Savannah

13.Austin

14.Memphis

15.Nashville

16.Las Vegas

17.New Orleans

18.San Antonio

19.Portland, ME

20.Seattle

I'll point out that the article starts off with this gem of a quote:

How much should you pay for a great hamburger?

"The best ones fall between $10 and $20," says burger enthusiast Keith Flanagan, who's also an account executive at a New York City public relations firm. "Anything less should make a foodie question the quality, and anything more should make a foodie question the restaurant's hubris."
