Netanya

As its name suggests, Beef Bar is not for vegetarians. There are 10 different kinds of steak and 9 kinds of burgers. There are also some chicken and one salmon alternative - a slight nod to non-beef eaters. The meat is mostly from Ramat Hagolan. The kashrut accommodates the full spectrum: Mehadrin Bet Yosef, Rav Mahfud or Rav Mazufi.

Beef Bar is your go-to restaurant for unabashed huge portions ranging from 200 grams and up, with 300 grams the default portion size. Burgers range from 160 grams to 1 and 2 kilo!

If you are up to it, take the "Beef Bar Challenge." Finish the 2 kilo burger (including the roll) and your meal is on the house. There will be fanfare - a gong, a procession of waiters, and a bucket of fries poured over the platter. Winners get a T-shirt and hat (size XL I assume).

Dudes - 4 Karminyan St, Netanya 09-765-3110

In the unofficial eLuna competition for the best burger in Israel, Dudes wins. This rustic, young-at-heart eatery is located on a narrow side street in downtown Netanya. Proprietor Daniel Raymond, with the equivalent of an Ivy League education in the Culinary Arts, has focused his talents on elevating the lowly burger to an art form.

The first secret is in the fresh meat, never frozen, delivered from the Golan Heights three times a week and ground twice a day. Then there is the secret sauce where the meat is marinated. Then there are the 5 unique sauces that come to your table with your burger. But the biggest secret is the restaurant’s location. But when you find it, you'll find a pay parking lot next door.

Don't miss the Landwer drinks and the desserts. These are the Landwer's specialties. We had an amazing ice cream based shake on their summer shake menu. I am hoping that they extend that menu throughout the year.

Ruben Petach Tikva - 36 Shacham, Petach-Tikva 03-7153767

Ruben is a chain of kosher meat restaurants. It is best known for its burgers and smoked meat sandwiches. But don't think that Rubin is just a burger restaurant. The most popular menu items are indeed the burgers in a variety of shapes and sizes. But there are also other high-end meats that you should not miss.

Ruben burgers range from the classic to the specialty concept burgers. They all come in various sizes, with single and double patties and a variety of add-ons. The classic burgers are the most basic and least expensive. You can soup these up with additional vegetables and meats.

At my most recent visit to Ruben Petach Tikva, I raised the ante and indulged in the Ruben Spare Rib platter, the Rubens' flagship dish. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a delicious meat dish at a hamburger restaurant.

Ra'anana

B12 - 124 Ahuza, Ra'anana :09-8825559

B12 is a new fast-food meat restaurant in the Pozin Center on Ahuza St in the center of Raanana. There is a large selection of meat dishes with salad and sides. Dishes range from basic burgers in a bun to high end veal chops. As you like.

Owner Yaron says that for him meat suggests strength and energy. A good meat dish is a big dose of vitamin B12, and so he named the restaurant. You could take this vitamin in pill format but it would not be nearly as fun and eating at the restaurant..

Our biggest dilemma at B12 was what to choose. There are so many choices and so many good dishes it is hard to decide. There is no printed menu. Ordering is high-tech, which will be natural for the young generation and the young at heart among us.
