New Buffalo, Michigan, spot Redamak's is only open from March 1 through October, so get there before winter hits if you can. Expect a wait, and when you finally snag a table, do what everyone else does: Order a burger — the Velveeta Cheeseburger, in particular. Cut and ground in-house, these 5 ⅓- or 8-ounce patties are cooked medium-well and draped with a glob of melty, oozy Velveeta. It's served with ketchup, mustard, pickles and onion with lettuce and tomato on request.

And no burger meal is complete without a side of crispy, crinkly-cut fries or onion rings.
