What is the best burger in St. Louis? It’s a question that co-hosts George and Cheryl get asked all the time, and one that is nearly impossible to answer if you consider the number of outstanding choices throughout the metro area. In this episode, they’ll come one step closer to tackling this question by exploring the city’s thick burgers, sharing their love of tried and true classics while uncovering some unexpected gems in unlikely places. Tune in to see their number one picks and whether or not your favorite makes the cut. Stay tuned for an upcoming episode dedicated to the smash burger.

Today on Arch Eats, a discussion of an All-American favorite. The classic hamburger, AKA, the thick burger. The burger your dad grilled up when you were a kid. Dad didn’t even know what a smash burger was. That’s for another episode. Today, we’ll discuss ten of our favorites in town. —GM
