There was a Hubcap Grill in Houston that had the best burger in a city that has a lot of great burgers.

They say they named it that because of a method of cooking a burger on a skillet, where you place a metal plate over the beef as it cooks to reduce splattering. The joke was that the burgers were so big that they needed to use a hubcap instead of a plate. And it was pretty close to true. Those burgers were massive and incredible.

They still have a few locations, including one in Hobby airport. But the original, which was a hole in the wall in downtown Houston, was the best.
