Kobe and Wagyu both get like that, but I'd be willing to bet with the right grind and if you included panko and egg as flavor neutral blinders, you could make a mindblowing pub burger.
I'll attest to the mindblowing - and the recipe is stored away in my goofy looking scone until I get my hands on some kobe and test it.

Oh man, I want to try that shit! I live 30 minutes from a butcher that can grind me some true Mishima. Fuck.
Maybe it's time to do the whole cooler sous-vide thing.
EDIT: It's American Kobe and not Mishima. Still probably worth it.
I've never tried Chipotle. I would feel like I'm betraying a fellow Coloradan, but the guy was a New Yorker from San Francisco according to Wikipedia, so guilt avoided. (Seriously, what am I missing? I'm willing to try it, but I'll have to be talked into it.)
Personally, I really like Smashburger. It defies logic, but their burgers are so damn good. So good that I'm willing to pay $9 for a burger and fries. Seriously, $9? This better be the best damn burger in the world. And, following the Simpsons quote to the letter, they got lucky. Quite a few of these places, but not that many outside of Colorado and Texas, apparently. Kinda surprised that there doesn't seem to be one in New York. (I'm always surprised when something's in Denver but not NYC or LA. TV and movies have brainwashed me into thinking that 99% of the population lives in those two cities.)
Good Times is more "fast food" than restaurant, but it's pretty good. A hell of a lot better than McDonald's and Burger King, anyhow. Their fries and "frozen custard" are the stuff dreams are made out of. Dreams laced with the hint of diabetes and cardiac arrest if you got that shit with a Big Daddy Bacon Cheeseburger, but only boring people are healthy.* Seriously, it's an awesome burger, but if I try to eat more than one every couple of months, I will almost certainly die. Granted, I'll die happy, but I'll also be dead. Fortunately for the collective health of the nation, there are only 4 locations outside Colorado, all in states adjacent to Colorado.
I assure you that it's mere coincidence that both of these chains are based out of my home state. It's also coincidence that this post reads like a paid advertisement. >_>;;

We have Fatburger here. Similar thing, same price, fucking worth it. I order mine with bacon and egg. FUCK YEAH, bacon-egg-and-cheeseburger.
