Since moving to the Midwest, Omaha has quickly become one of my favorite destinations for food-related exploration. In a city known for its prime cuts of meat, I feel certain that my chances of experiencing one of America’s best burgers must be pretty high. So far, however, I have visited two local favorites (Louie M’s Burger Lust and Stella’s), the burgers at which were very good…but fell short of spectacular. So the question for the audience is, where is Omaha’s best burger?
Pictured above is a spicy jalapeno cheeseburger and some super thick onion rings from Louie M’s Burger Lust. The patty was thick and clearly homemade, but a little overcooked for my taste. The onion rings were so thick as to necessitate mouth stretching. Below is one of the hand-formed patties from Stella’s in Bellevue, as featured in George Motz’s Hamburger America. The juicy patty was tasty, but overwhelmed by an excessively bready bun.
