Even at the least complex level, a burger is a thing of beauty. Succulent protein, sometimes bolstered by the addition of cheese, sometimes left to marinate in its own glory, while two seedy buns encase this experiment for the ultimate feat of culinary perfection. A burger is beautiful just the way it is.

But here in America, more is more. Bigger cars, bigger houses, bigger wallets, bigger boobs, bigger guts, and subsequently, bigger burgers. We like them topped with unpronounceable French things, lots of sauce, seventeen kinds of cheese, and stuffed with exotic meats that make us feel brave, like a Turducken. Bravery is an undeniably American trait.

In honor of the great American tradition of burgers, we've rounded up 25 of the most decadent burgers in the United States. Live long and prosper? How about eat well and die happy.

Umami is considered the 5th taste; the taste that makes your taste receptors literally drool and your brain crave more. If you think you are too much of a man to have such silly girly cravings over something as mundane as food, try the Manly Burger and think again. This burger truly has everything in it a man would desire. It has beer in the form of beer-cheddar cheese, salty onion string things, and the piece de resistance, bacon lardons. Because regular bacon is just not rich or fattening enough. A real man needs to eat pure fat.

Hats off and horns up to Los Angeles' Grill 'Em All truck, a rock 'n roll themed rollin' burger shack that names their burgs after hedonistic rock stars. Most of the burgers are pretty crazy, but a stand-out is the Dee Snider which has stick to the roof of your mouf peanut butter, cripsy bacon, and schoolyard strawberry jelly all on top of a whopping burger. But what really turns this burger up to 11? The kick of Los Angeles' favorite hot accoutrement, Sriracha. It's lovingly called cock sauce because of the rooster on the bottle, but after enough Dee Sniders your pants will stuff themselves.
