BIRMINGHAM, AL β€” Burgers are about as common a meal in the United States as one can get, but not all burgers are created equal. In fact, culinary website The Daily Meal showcased how different burgers can be from one another by looking all over the country to determine who has the best burger in each state.

Perhaps to little surprise to Birmingham foodies, Chez Fonfon in Birmingham's 5 Points South district has the state's best burger, according to the study by The Daily Meal.

The study's description of the burger at the Frank Stitt restaurant said, "The star of the menu at Chez Fonfon in Birmingham, Alabama, is the Hamburger Fonfon. To make this impressive burger, chefs grind chuck in-house and form it into 8-ounce patties. Those patties are then cooked to medium and topped with ComtΓ© β€” a nutty cheese from France β€” and served with fries."
