Pig Beach Burger

The namesake burger at Pig Beach, Brooklyn will send your hangover running in fear — a triple stack of brisket-short rib patties, topped with melty white American, secret sauce, and pickles, on a Martin’s potato bun. Given that Pig Beach is run by award-winning barbecue teams, you can add pulled pork on top if you wish — but we kinda fear for your safety if you do.

Hash Brown Burger

Nothing beats a burger when you’re a little beat from the night before…except maybe a pile of crispy potatoes to go with it. So why not combine the two? The Hash Brown Burger at The Bellwether, Los Angeles, gets you two super-browned hash brown “buns,” cradling a burger plus cheddar, a sunny egg, bacon, and Tapatio hot sauce.

Pancake Sliders

Don’t pretend the words “pancake sliders” didn’t make you sit up and take notice. At Invite Only in New York’s Meatpacking District, the “I.O. Sliders” have American cheese, bacon, and a sunny side egg — all between syrup-infused pancake “buns.” Part sweet, part savory, all awesome.

Burgers rank pretty highly on the hangover cure scale. But the Bluestem Brunch Burger at Bluestem Brasserie, San Francisco, is something else entirely. Let's break this down for you: a beef patty. Hash browns. A breakfast sausage patty. Bacon. Bluestem's house-made version of American cheese. A fried egg. Pickles. Avocado. Spicy ketchup. All in one formidable, barely cohesive, sandwich-like stack. It's the Captain Planet of hangover cures: powerful alone, unbeatable together.

Bloody Mary Burger

We are no strangers to the one-two hangover-annihilating hit of a Bloody and a burger. It just took an evil genius to smash the two together. Chef Amanda Downing at Rockit Burger Bar, Chicago, tops a black angus patty with a Bloody Mary reduction and a spicy celery slaw to mimic the drink's garnish. Then she adds Parmesan, avocado and pickles because those are just good things.
