Actually, there is no comparison. The burgers at the Shed in Stowe are much better than anything you can get over in Warren or Waitsfield.

heh, I KNEW you'd come back around!

Best burgers ever, imo, btw, fwiw, and shit.

Why no votes for Island Burgers? Those are my favorite, with lots of choices. I've had a lot of the others, and love a few, but Island Burgers eat HUGE and with big special flavor. If I'm hungry, no better option.

Ate there in August, their 1/2 lb burger tasted absolutely bootylicious ! The restaurant atmosphere felt like at home with posters and graffati from the real Jackson Hole. They need to open one up in Jackson but Billy's Burgers dish out a similar mean burger !

you know what I like about jackson hole? if you tell them to give you a super-rare burger, they'll actually do it.

that was the only burger i ever had that wasn't cooked enough for me. the fat had not even begun to render..

(still better than a well-done or even medium burger)

Are you talking about Island at 93rd and mad? If so you need to go w/ the chicken hash for brunch- and a nap...

corner bistro= banging, but it is a cheap burger and somewhat suspect in that manner. but the ambiance and the way the cook the burgers is really cool and augments the burger itself.

i stick to bonnie's in brooklyn as i don't think i have ever had a better burger anywhere ever. plus their wings are incredible.
