Such observances invariably bring out the list makers. According to the Daily Meal, the best burger in the entire state can be found at Maple & Motor in Dallas. Reviewers fawn over the eatery's cheeseburger, describing it as "...a half-pound of finely ground American beef flat-grilled in its own juices. Dressed in traditional Texas fashion with mustard, lettuce, red onion and dill pickle. Served on a toasted, grill-shined bun." Priced at $8.25, it's one of America's best burgers for under 10 bucks, according to reviewers.
