I am not a big fan of Apollo but I will say I think it depends on the location, as I have had drastically different results in different spots.
I still love Crown Burger, and maybe it is location again but the state street location (I think that's it, the best parking spot for Jazz games, that one) and the Layton lcation always have fresh everything, cooked perfectly, tastes awesome. The crown burger is one of my favorite burgers.
All these fancy "gourmet fast food" burger places end up being largely the same. Often the meat is seared too hard or overcooked, and they too often mistake making it big and messy with making it actually taste good.
I agree completely, but I'm pretty easy to please. I don't get buying an overpriced green chili burger when I prefer a standard bacon cheese or mushroom swiss instead. But others do and it's cool they have a passion for checking out the local supply. What annoys me is eating with people at work who are buy local buy local buy local oh it's so good, and when we are eating lunch they start praising a dog food caliber dish that's way overpriced while also punching at a barbecue joint like Dickies, which is far superior to the crap I'm paying $5 more a plate for.
Oh, and Iggy's had a pretty fantastic blue cheese burger the first time and an awful one the second. I think burger joints are like that.
