12-Layered Feast Named The Best Cheeseburger In Wisconsin

What makes a regular cheeseburger great? You could ask 100 people and probably get about that many different answers.

Foodies will likely all agree that great cheeseburgers have several basic things in common including quality beef, simple seasoning, a properly cooked patty with a juicy interior, melting cheese, balanced toppings, and a soft, slightly toasted bun.

What elevates cheeseburgers to perfection is the customization that happens while putting those basic elements together. Recently, a study was done to find the best cheeseburgers in America and Wisconsin's winner customizes its burger by piling on layer after layer of deliciousness.
