What restaurant made the best (restaurant) burger you've ever had?

Five Guys.  It's a small chain in DC, though there are now two (that I know of) in Chicago and there may be others elsewhere.

There are tons of them around.  A girl that worked for me a few years back ended up leaving the company to work for them in Florida.

Interesting.  Wikipedia says they started franchising them, so I guess that explains it.  I have never been to any of the non-original ones, so I don't know how different they are.

I'm not sure, I didn't investigate it too much, but I've also never eaten there.

Oh of course, vastly different at each one.  Everyone knows when you buy a franchise, you just buy the name and start serving whatever the fuck you want.  The one here is built like a native american sweat lodge, and all they sell is ham salad on a cracker.  I don't think its gonna last.

Well, the three that I have been to in the NoVA area are fairly different as far as the atmosphere is concerned.  The food is mostly the same, though one of them doesn't offer the unlimited in-shell peanuts that you can eat/throw all over the floor.  One also has a really cool message board (a combo of a real-life version of Craigslist and comment cards/whatever), and a scary bathroom.  The food was pretty much the same at all three of them, though.  As you said, atmosphere matters.

Innovative. 

I was at a restaurant/bar once where the barmaid blew me in the bathroom.   And they had ice in the urinals!  Couldn't throw your peanut shells around, though.

What's the point of that, now?  Is body temperature piss verboten?

When they fill one of those big buckets, then come out front and fill the ice wells under the chrome lids, they just dump the rest in the pissers.  If you throw a half-bucket of wet ice back in the icemaker, it'll freeze in a big chunk. 

But it looks fancy, and guys are endlessly amused with penis games.  Melting cubes and whatnot.  We're apes, you know this.  Its a natural fit.  I don't know a single guy who wouldn't be privately delighted to find the xanadu of ice in the pisser.

A stateless society.  Or possibly a urinal.

If he's into guns and you have a few normal ones like most people do, shotgun, deer rifle, and a pistol or two.. 

Get him a tactical urban weapon, like a mini-14 with the plastic stocks and all that.  The regs would probably know better prices $600 is about right, I believe.  I'm not a gun nut, but if my chick got me that, hooboy.  I'd be blown away.  That may be more than you might want to part with, but its not really insane.  Its just kinda, not cheap.  First year in the new house if I recall, its been a big year.  Something like that may be in order, if you'll excuse my sayin' so.  Besides, its just completely badass, and flies in the face of religious holiday conformity. 

This one is brand new, ships from a dealer with good feedback.  You'd have to get it shipped to a licensed firearm guy on your end, show ID and fill out a paper.

That's a good suggestion, but I should've mentioned that I do not have much money right now.  I was thinking of something under $100 or so.  He's definitely into guns though, so I'll have to file that away for his birthday next year.

Understood. 

I'll be honest, I draw a blank when I think for myself.  I don't really want anything in the normal realm of "stuff".  However, we don't look at tools like chicks do.  We actually like them.  Get a chick a vacuum and you're a fuckinasshole, get a guy a cordless Makita drill, genuine happy.  But these are the things we each need to do our self-appointed home tasks. 

Hows he in the rechargeable drill department?  Someone got me one two years ago, and it had a layout of about fifty bits included, all sorts of wizardry tips.  Great gift.
