The only thing more assured than poor driving during an L.A. rainstorm is people pointing out that nobody in L.A. knows how to do it. The same goes for hamburgers. It is impossible to eat one, or to even mention that you like one, without everyone else at the table chiming in with their opinion of whose is their favorite. We love to argue about it, and honestly, why shouldn't we?

So while the ever-popular debate as to who makes it the best continues on Chowhound, another well-regarded voice has entered the fray. The mysterious and cult-favorite food blogger Exile Kiss has dropped a massive tome onto the scene today, ranking ten of the most talked about burger joints in the city. It is, we assure you, handled with great detail. Is Umami better than Father's Office? What about Govind Armstrong's 8 oz. or Anisette? You'll have to read for yourself.
