Judging by the sheer number of restaurants that include them on their menus, there aren’t many entrees as ubiquitous as a classic hamburger. Keeping that in mind, LoCO fully admits defeat in attempting to list, below, every locally owned establishment that will grill up a patty for you. But we’d like to think we have everyone who might’ve reasonably been a contender for this week’s Humboldt’s Best poll. (You are welcome to tell us how we’ve sinned.)

Burger it up, Humboldt. As this is a Friday poll, you have until Monday to venture out into our county and sample as many burgers as possible. Godspeed.
