Hochstapler
A pun that works in German: a Hochstapler is a con man, but hoch stapeln means to stack high. Two beef patties with burger cheese, potato chips and Cheddar cream. The crisps add crunch and salt, and the Cheddar cream makes it the most cheese-heavy beef burger on the list.

About Hans im Glück
Thomas Hirschberger, who had already built the Sausalitos cocktail-bar chain, opened the first Hans im Glück in Munich’s Neuhausen district in 2010. The name comes from the Brothers Grimm tale of Hans, who trades a lump of gold for ever smaller things and ends up happier with nothing, and the restaurants lean into the fairy-tale mood: dark furniture and a forest of bare birch trunks standing among the tables. The look was distinctive enough to end up in court, in a copyright dispute with a designer that was settled in 2016.
Close to a hundred restaurants, most of them in Germany, with branches in Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
