Hopdoddy Opening in North Austin
South Austin fancy-pants burger bar Hopdoddy is opening at Anderson/Burnet this month! Looking forward to trying them out, since I never get south. Home-baked buns + in-house ground beef.

Hat Creek Deal
This one is priced right–pay $3 for $6 of grub. Good through 11/23/11. And as always, the Fb terms indicate that even if you don’t use it before expiration, the face value of the voucher ($3) is still redeemable after that date: “After the end of the promotional period, the Voucher may be redeemed for goods or services in the amount originally paid.”

Mike Sutter’s 50 Burgers in 50 Days
Erstwhile Statesman food reporter Mike Sutter has a new site, Fed Man Walking, and he’s just embarked on a series sure to be of interest to ABN readers–50 Burgers in 50 Days. So far he’s hit Top Notch, Dirty’s, Hat Creek, Dan’s, Phil’s, Five Guys and Hopdoddy. NIce pix of burgers and sides included with each entry. Worth keeping up with. There is no index page for the series that I can find, so just navigate to his home page and click on the link in the upper right of the page.

Burger Purist Ozersky Visits Austin
Just saw a blurb in today’s Statesman about a visit from famed burger purist, Josh Ozersky. Love this quote from him, which fits in quite well with our philosophy here at ABN: “If you see a crazy burger with 45 toppings on a 17-grain bun, run for the hills.”

Vote in ESPN Austin’s Burger Bracket
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.

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.

Vote for Austin’s Best Hamburger…?
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.

From the great A Hamburger Today we have an impressive taxonomy of burger styles. How many of these styles are represented in Austin?
