Get AHT & Get a Burger
The debate of where you can find the best burger is an age-old one argued everywhere from burger establishments nationwide to the Food Network. Many Pittsburghers will say that Bloomfield’s Tessaro’s has the best burger in the Burgh, and some claim the nation as well.
Many who travel through the area make the stop to try the famed burger and judge for themselves. After a recent visit, Nick Solares of SeriousEats.com’s A Hamburger a Day (AHT) asked “Pittsburgh: Does Tessaro’s Serve America’s Greatest Pub Burger?”
“Many places brag about getting beef delivered daily from a butcher, but how many burger joints actually have a butcher in house?” asked Solares. “Texturally, the chunky, flaky grind is just about perfect. Served on an airy Portuguese-style roll, the burger needs nothing more to achieve burger greatness.”
The gourmet burger.
Tessaro’s is an institution for some locals who claim it is the best around, and the ground beef gourmet agrees. “Either plain or loaded the burger at Tessaro’s is the finest example of a pub-style burger I have had. Actually, I’m understating the case. Tessaro’s burger is one of the finest hamburgers I have eaten, period”, Solares concluded.
