For best burger ’96, we’re getting back to basics. Sure there are places all over town where you can get a burger smothered in all kinds of fancy-pants ingredients—bleu cheese, pineapple, guacamole—but increasingly, it seems, restaurants are neglecting the burger itself in favor of the toppings. This distressing trend is brought to a screeching halt, however, at the lunch counter inside Waverly’s Pete’s Grille. At Pete’s, each and every burger is hand-formed from freshly ground (never frozen) high-quality beef and then flame-grilled to your specifications. Toppings are basic: American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions fried or au naturel. Served on a soft white roll, these ingredients create a truly excellent hamburger, delicious in its simplicity. If the ancient Greeks had eaten burgers, Plato would have gotten his at Pete’s—it’s that ideal.
