Best Burger in Sac City?

You'd have to drive 194 miles from Cedar Rapids to eat Iowa's best hamburger, according to the Iowa Beef Industry Council.

The Sac County Cattle Company of Sac City, IA, won the bragging rights to call their Mushroom Swiss Burger the 2010 Best Burger in Iowa. The Mushroom Swiss Burger is a 100 percent ground beef patty loaded with sautéed mushrooms and topped with melted Swiss cheese on a toasted bun. The 2010 Best Burger in Iowa Contest was sponsored by the Iowa Beef Industry Council and the Iowa's Cattlemen's Association.

Sac County Cattle Company owner Doug Kruchten has a menu loaded with beef, including a variety of hamburgers and steaks as well as a great assortment of salads, appetizers, fish, pizza and sandwiches....

The other four restaurants rounding out the top five were: The Farmers Kitchen in Atlantic for their Cy-Hawk Burger, Beck's Sports Brewery in Waterloo for their Jack Daniel's Burger, The Grinnell Steakhouse located in Grinnell for their Steakhouse Burger and Rube's Steakhouse in Montour for the Rube's Burger.

What say you Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Corridorians?

Is Iowa's best burger actually right here in our midst, and not way out in the 5th Congressional District?

Weigh in, carnivores. Think of  local pride. Think of giving me an excuse to go around and eat a bunch of burgers. Think of french-fried potatoes and a cold draft beer.
