After eating at 32 D-FW burgers joints, we couldn&rsquo;t limit our accolades (or criticism) to just one. Here are "The Burgies," our alternative awards for the cheesiest, greasiest and most avocado-savvy burgers in town.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Best Buns</span></strong></p><p><strong>Dutch&rsquo;s:</strong>Generally speaking, we regard our hamburgers the way we regard potential lovers: If the buns are square-shaped, we usually go looking elsewhere. But at Dutch&rsquo;s, the buns &mdash; thick, yeasty, with a curious hint of sweetness &mdash; blend eloquently with the saltiness of the meat, launching the burger into a whole new stratosphere. Even the squareness works, lending a compact stylishness to one of the classiest burgers in town. (Hmm, maybe we shouldn&rsquo;t have written off our ex-boyfriend so quickly.) </p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Best Value</span></strong></p><p><strong>Steak &rsquo;n Shake:</strong> Sneer all you want at the idea of a chain offering the tastiest burger for your buck. But you will be hard-pressed to find something as satisfying, unexpectedly original and downright cheap as Steak &rsquo;n Shake&rsquo;s terrific "steakburger" meals &mdash; $3.99 for a recession-era burger that&rsquo;s fit for a king. </p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Best Burger You Would Never Think Works But Does</span></strong></p><p><strong>The Caesar Burger, Scotty P&rsquo;s: </strong>They call it "our idea of salad and a sandwich," a traditional burger topped with a mound of Caesar salad. And while you&rsquo;re probably having unpleasant visions of too much soggy lettuce, and dressing mixing with grease and running down your hands, the execution of this burger &mdash; the cold of the Caesar mixing with the warmth of the burger &mdash; makes it the best one on the menu at Scotty P&rsquo;s.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Biggest surprise</span></strong></p><p><strong>Gourmet Cheeseburger, Red Robin: </strong>Going into Red Robin, we had a ton of skepticism. It is, after all, a very chainy chain. But RR&rsquo;s gourmet cheeseburger shattered our skepticism and delivered a terrific chargrilled burger with spot-on veggies (extra points for red onion). And the pickle relish, spiked with ketchup, took the burger up another notch on the flavor spectrum. We are now a believer.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Best bacon</span></strong></p><p><strong>Jakes: </strong>The Dallas burger king adorns its sumptuous blue cheese burger with a flawless slab o&rsquo; bacon &mdash; salty, chewy and big enough to cover most of the burger. Beautious. </p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Best condiment/sauce</span></strong></p><p><strong>M&O&rsquo;s secret hamburger sauce: </strong>The tangy, tomato-based cream sauce tastes nothing like Thousand Island dressing, and that&rsquo;s a good thing.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Best excuse to eat a quail egg</span></strong></p><p><strong>Dirty Love </strong></p><p><strong>Burger, Love Shack:</strong> The signature ingredient &ndash; a fried quail egg &mdash; enhances the flavor of the prime tenderloin and brisket burger but doesn&rsquo;t overpower it.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Best use of avocado</span></strong></p><p><strong>California Avocado Burger, OC Burger: </strong>The heaping helping of tender avocados piled on this double-meat cheeseburger was luscious, plain and simple.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Best fries</span></strong></p><p><strong>Five Guys Burgers and Fries: </strong>There&rsquo;s a reason 'fries&rsquo; is part of the name. The skin-on potatoes are crispy, perfectly seasoned and abundant. Try both varieties: Five Guys style and Cajun.
