Appetites: Under-the-radar burgers

We've become something like burger obsessives here in the Twin Cities. It seems like every chef has a fancy one on their menu, and it's not unusual to spend $15 on a burger.

And it makes sense that we love them so much. A burger is arguably the cheapest and most delicious way to guarantee a full belly.

But burgers used to be a humbler meal, and it seems like the chef-created burgers get most of the attention these days.

What about some of those humbler burgers of days gone by?

City Pages food writer Mecca Bos recently published an article, "Top 10 under-the-radar burgers you need to try", looking at burgers that aren't too well-known or expensive.

Bos joined All Things considered host Tom Crann to talk about some more under-the-radar burgers that she knows and loves.
