Best $100 Hamburgers of 2011
John Purner, author of The $100 Hamburger, released a list of the top 17 $100 Hamburgers as voted by his subscribers in 2011. His book highlights nearly 1,700 Fly-In Restaurants nationwide.
Last month he reached out to his 50,000 subscribers to ask them to select their favorite $100 Hamburger. After receiving a record number of votes seventeen restaurants pulled away from the pack and have been labeled "The Best of the Best" for 2011.
I was disappointed not to see Sky Manor, Pittstown, NJ or Sky Galley, Cincinnati, OH on this list this year. You can view a list of $100 Hamburger joints I have flown to on Yelp. Which $100 Hamburger spots do you think should have been on this list that weren't included?

Posted by: Mike Bennett at April 16, 2011 11:48 AMI fly to The Hangar at KSPG (Albert Whitted, St. Pete, Florida) frequently for $100 hamburgers. They also have some simply amazing fried chicken and waffles...if you're ever in the neighborhood you need to try it.
Posted by: Ben at April 17, 2011 10:53 PMI haven't had a burger there but I can attest to the crab cakes at The Airport Tiki. Worth flying in!
