Richmond is a burger city and residents tell us why

No matter how much Richmonders love Italian, Chinese, seafood, soul food, or fine dining, there are times when we want a juicy burger. Burgers remind us of times in the past when we shared eating burgers with our family and friends. They also remind us of times when we didn't have as many restaurant choices as we have today.

Richmond Magazine says the city is experiencing a "burger boom." The magazine lists its Top Ten Burger places. Feel free to comment on your own favorite place where you eat your delicious burgers.
