Veteran Wall Street Journal food reporter Raymond Sokolov traveled America in search of the best hamburger and says he found the hands-down winner at Ann's Snack Bar on Memorial Drive.

Owner Ann Price's iconic "Ghetto Burger" — a double-patty bacon cheeseburger sandblasted with seasoning salt — bested dozens of better-known wimpies. Sokolov called it a "masterpiece" and "the next level of burgerhood."

Ann's, an eight-stool restaurant, has been around for 35 years. Loyal customers know not to speak until "Miss Ann" addresses you first. A sign warns guests not to curse.

Sokolov also loved the charred patties at the Earl in East Atlanta and at the Vortex in Little Five Points; he called Atlanta home to the "best burgers in America."

These three bested Los Angeles' famed In-N-Out Burger and chef Daniel Boulud's $32 foie-gras-stuffed burger at DB Bistro Moderne in New York.

The story comes out in Saturday's Wall Street Journal Weekend Edition.
