Heart Attack Hamburgers

Food Network Magazine's Top 50 Burgers Are to Die For

All bibs, napkins and any other anti-drool mechanisms should be in place before viewing these heart attack hamburgers.

Food Network Magazine has ranked the top 50 hamburgers across the U.S in their upcoming June/July issue.

These hamburgers pack a punch with recipes from celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay, Paula Deen and Rachel Ray.

The winner of the beef brawl is Maryland’s “Heart Attack on a Plate.” The deep fried, cheese filled, 8-ounce burger could quite possibly be to die for (I mean that literally).

Pick your favorite, and even though it would be nice to have them all, I can guarantee it’s just too much.
