Who serves the best burger in Bangkok? That question is much discussed here in the Thai capital. It is debated on blogs and in Web forums, and news of beloved purveyors shutting down or new ones opening up spreads quickly among foreigners and Thais alike.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Bangkok resident Peter Oh even launched BangkokBurgerBlog.com, where he posts detailed reviews, photos and rankings. Mr. Oh, who grew up in Minnesota and Wisconsin, says that while he loves Thai cuisine, burgers are his ultimate comfort food. They remind him of home and have a \u201cvery primal aspect,\u201d he says, since they\u2019re \u201cgrilled meat you eat with your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

category_ided by Mr. Oh\u2019s tips, word-of-mouth suggestions and copious Web research, Scene visited several restaurants in search of the city\u2019s best burger. Here are three standouts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Duke\u2019s Express<\/strong>
\nDuke\u2019s nailed the \u201cclassic\u201d burger. Its quarter-pound cheeseburger consists of a juicy beef patty \u2014 from New Zealand, says a waitress \u2014 served on a sesame-seed bun with onions, tomatoes and American cheese. It\u2019s nothing fancy: Just an old fashioned burger, done right.<\/p>\n

Larry\u2019s Dive<\/strong>
\nThe 2008 winner of a local magazine\u2019s \u201cbest burger in Bangkok\u201d award, Larry\u2019s serves the kind of gut-busting burger that will please even the most ravenously hungry. The patty on the jalape\u00f1o burger is a massive 180 grams, or 6.4 ounces. It comes with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, thick strips of bacon and, of course, jalape\u00f1o peppers. The beef is sourced from Australia and New Zealand, the chef says.<\/p>\n

Hyde and Seek<\/strong>
\nSome purists are skeptical of so-called gourmet-style burgers, which use nontraditional ingredients. But Hyde and Seek\u2019s six-ounce Wagyu beef \u201cYankee Burger\u201d proves that even a classic sandwich can occasionally benefit from some well-selected embellishments. The patty, served medium rare, is perfectly tender, and the caramelized shallots and Roquefort cheese provide a touch of sharpness. The burger is served on Parmesan bread that, rather than being distractingly pillowy, perfectly cushions a burger of this quality.<\/p>\n
