Burger Beast Cast Of Characters Top 5 Burger Lists

I asked all of the members of the Burger Beast army what were their Top 5 burgers ? I did not specify that they had to be beef or that they like #1 more than #5 (they did whatever they wanted). I don't necessarily agree with some of their selections but then again, there's no accounting for taste. Posted on here just as I was emailed, text or told over the phone. Everyone is in alphabetical order, I don't want to hurt anyone's ego but what a coincidence, I'm first:

Mike1.Triple Steakburger with cheese - Steak 'n Shake. My favorite!

How can I pick just five? An honorable mention goes JJ's American Diner. No not the one on US 1 but the one in the Gables which is now known as the Gables Diner. The original JJ's with just Swiss cheese and scallions was a very tasty burger.As for my mom's greasy pink dough square wonder bread burger? It did not make the cut but these did:
5. Chili’s: The Big Mouth Burger is very tasty. I recommend the mushroom swiss or the Big Mouth Bites which come with bacon, sauteed onions and american cheese.
4. Duffy's Tavern: I haven't been there in a while but it’s a classic burger if there ever was one.
3. In-N-Out: My all time favorite fast food burger. It is only available on the west coast. The closest thing I found to this is ....
2. Five Guys Burgers: My new burger love. Fresh ingredients and great toppings make this the best not so fast food in Miami in my humble opinion. The grilled onions are a must as a topping.
1. Keg South: For some people its a long drive but since it's the best burger in town it's worth the drive. Can't say that I am a big fan of anything else on the menu but like I said, it's the best burger in town.

BB, advise John that Kelly's Landing also has a restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale with great burgers. Hard to pass on their fried clam bellies though
