Tell us about your favorite $100 hamburger spot like how you found it and why it’s your top choice; be it the location, scenery, fun approach, or other. Got any menu recommendations? Share those, too!

Don’t forget to use #benburger to track the conversation. Why #benburger? Benjamin is slang for a $100 bill and burger is short for hamburger (duh!) and so #benburger was born.
