TMZ.com is reporting that Jesse James is moving to Austin and planning to open a Cisco Burger here. Never heard of the place, but sounds like they would fit in, with their “eco- friendly philosophy”, according to their website. Sounds good to me. Sandra’s loss is Austin’s Burger Gain.
The afternoon sports guys are taking nominations for their burger bracket. Head to their site and you can enter your four favorite burgers for consideration in the seeding for their “tournament”.
Beware that it appears to be a thinly veiled customer/demographic harvesting scheme, as the form you have to fill out to enter the bracket asks for your contact info, age, hobbies, any upcoming major purchases, etc.
Austin360.com is conducting a poll to determine “Austin’s best burger”. There are 17 entrants, each with an accompanying photo. Notable absences: Top Notch, Houston’s, Mighty Fine, Elevation, TerraBurger. Strange.
Give it a whirl: http://www.austin360.com/food-drink/best-hamburger-in-austin-313076.html
Update 4:45pm: looks like they have corrected some of those omissions, no doubt due to this post, and it now contains 23 entries.
This should be easy for UT fans in Austin:
On Tuesday, November 10th from 5-8 pm, we invite you to get decked out in orange from head to toe for an Orange Night Out. So dress up, dine in, show us how much orange spirit you have and get a Free Whataburger®.
From the great A Hamburger Today we have an impressive taxonomy of burger styles. How many of these styles are represented in Austin?
First Post! We hope to be able to provide up to date postings of import to Austin burger lovers (more weighted towards North Austin burger lovers).

We have stumbled upon your blog and love it!!!! Chris. I realize that you have a passion for good quality burgers. We would love to invite you to try one of our Steak Burgers at Old School BBQ & Grill. We think you will really enjoy it!! We grind two cuts of Angus “Choice” Steak to create these steak burgers (all burger is ground fresh everyday). No worries, we only serve these burgers up with cheddar. Don’t be shocked but you will be ordering this burger from Austin’s only BBQ Bus!!! You can visit us on facebook to find our daily arrival times and locations.
