Fred’s triumphs in DFW.com’s Battle of the Burgers

It's official: Fred's is the best dang burger in DFW. M&O wins the readers' bracket.

In the Fort Worth region, Fred’s marched past Trailboss, rising star Dutch’s and stalwart Kincaid’s. The races weren’t always clear cut (in fact, the Fred’s versus Dutch’s matchup went into overtime — i.e., a second visit). But each time we were amazed how a burger that we had tasted many times before — particularly, the masterful Diablo Burger, which comes topped with Swiss cheese and chipotles — revealed to us new subtlety and richness of flavor.

Much like a classic novel, Fred’s offers a slightly different experience each time you tackle it, without ever straying too far from a core of pure genius.
