While its origins trace to the German city of Hamburg, nothing quite defines Americana like a hamburger. Over the years, the humble bun and patty snack has evolved into complex and gourmet dishes that blend traditional style with new global flavours. On the 247th anniversary of American independence, we curate a list of seven of the city's best and biggest burgers for you to dig in.
1 Biggiesmalls: Technically a collection of small burgers skewered together to make a burger tower, it entails four different sliders (veg/chicken/b'ff) on a bed of hand-cut French fries, and is drenched in signature cheese sauce.
At Frisbees, Hill Road, Bandra West; Shivaji Park, Dadar

2 Jawbreaker: The name is all you need. A seven-inch culinary jenga of juicy patties, salami, fried eggs and bacon, the jawbreaker is a real mouthful. With a vegetarian version available, it remains a fan favourite.
