Here’s one thing that can unite our 50 states: the love of a good burger. With 50 States, 50 Burgers, The Food Network has traveled from sea to shining sea and selected the best burger from each state.

Sure, a lot of us can boast of having tasted California’s In-and-Out burger, but what about some of the more unusual picks? Take, for example, the “Brat and Bacon Pretzel” (beef and bratwurst topped with cheddar, stout-caramelized onions, smoked bacon and pilsner mustard served on a soft pretzel bun), found in Madison, Wis.; or Laie, Hawaii’s “Loco Moco” (beef with fried egg on a bed of rice, smothered in gravy); or even the burger once shipped to the White House during the Clinton era—Little Rock, Ark.’s “Hubcap Burger” (a giant, 16-ounce affair that’s considered “a challenge”). Take a look, and see what won from you state. Who else is hungry?
