	+ ------ + ''2012-08-17 09:22:07'' [[nbsp]] I give Bill Gray's the top spot - their hot sauce is a savory burst of awesome and their rolls hold up better to the moisture of a burger with everything. To the naysayers I'll point out that a good Rochester burger fresh off the grill is anything but dry, and smashing the burger means you have plenty of delicious crust from the Maillard reaction. Every time I come back to Rochester I have to eat one. There are a few other burgers that can come close the the crust on a Rochester burger - In-N-Out comes to mind. But I've never found a burger that brings together the flavor of the crust, the hot sauce, and that hard roll like Bill Gray's does. --["Users/Aaron"]
