And the Best Burger in Mid-County Is...

The Fatted Calf in Clayton wins this week's Food Fight.

 

We have a winner! The readers have spoken and the Fatted Calf in Clayton is the winner of this week's Mid-County Food Fight hamburger challenge.

Our hamburger poll garnered lots of votes and strong opinions this week.

Patch readers had a lot to say about their hamburgers. Here are a few of their comments:

  • Mark Cockson said "Sorry, but fatted calf wins hands down! This Clayton eatery is so delish that my dad used to drive here from Nebraska (and Omaha stockyards & beef are primo!) Just for the burgers & toppings!"
  • Chad Krause said "Duh! Cousin Hugo's has the best burger in town!!"
  • For those of you in the mood for something different, Rick nominated Three Kings, saying "Three Kings is definitely THE BEST Veggie burger in town, and I've been on a mission and had em all (sub zero ain't bad)...If their real burger is half as good...it must be great!"

There were seven other restaurants that garnered votes — Blueberry Hill, Fitz's American Grill and Three Kings in University City; Carl's Drive-In, Cousin Hugos and Crow's Nest in the Maplewood-Brentwood area; and the Trainwreck Saloon in Rock Hill.

The Fatted Calf ended up with 20 percent of the vote. Here's how the other Food Fight finalists ranked:

  • Crow's Nest — 17 percent
  • Cousin Hugo's — 16 percent
  • Trainwreck Saloon — 14 percent
  • Blueberry Hill — 10 percent
  • Three Kings Public House — 8 percent
  • Carl's Drive-In — 8 percent
  • Fitz's American Grill — 2 percent
