Best Burger

Everything on Mom's menu comes in a junior version; if it didn't, heart attacks would be imminent. Combos like The Chronic and The Colosso, with their audacious more-is-more aesthetic, have made Mom's Burgers semi-famous. Unwrap The Colosso ($8.03/$5.27), and it reveals a mass of tender, salty pastrami. There is a burger lurking beneath the curling pink tongues of meat. The classic here is The Chronic ($5.38/$4.56), which adds a slice of American cheese, a fried egg and two slices of chewy, thick-cut bacon. The fried egg somehow seems organic, integral even, to the Chronic. Mom's is one of the few places where the egg-on-burger trend works. William Blake said, "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom." Blake should have eaten here. -Elina Shatkin
