The simple hamburger doesn’t seem to have much that can be improved on, but there’s actually a lot of wiggle room that distinguishes a truly classic burger from the competition. League City locals rave about Burger House, which they claim makes the absolute best in town.

You wouldn’t guess it from looking at the building — a converted Captain D’s Seafood — but this place does good old-fashioned American burgers and fries to perfection. The hamburgers start with a perfectly-charred 1/3 pound patty on a fresh, soft bun accessorized with all the favorites: onions, pickles, lettuce and tomato. The roots of the owners shine through in the presence of some Korean cuisine twists on American classics. For example, the fan favorite bulgogi burger is made with shredded beef marinated in a sweet, sticky sauce. Sides are equally accomplished, with the thick, hot crinkle-cut fries earning rave reviews.

Few eras had as definitive a design aesthetic as the 1950s and 1960s. The mid-century modern styles made popular in these decades are seeing a major revival in modern furniture styles, channeling the clean lines, pin legs, and rich materials that devoted fans love. Here are two great websites to shop for modern home furnishings and decor.

West Elm
Popular home goods store West Elm carries mid-century modern inspired furniture and cozy, simple home decor items for fairly affordable prices. Many of the credenzas, chairs, and dressers are almost exact replicas of the rectangular teak creations from that era, and the rugs, duvet covers, and other textiles feature bold geometric prints that accent each piece perfectly.

Dwell Studios
Dwell Studios carries home goods with a bit higher price tags, but the sleek lines and high quality leather and upholstery make them completely worth the price to mid-century furniture devotees. The website carries chairs and sofas with modern style’s signature slender legs and low, square shapes, as well as decor accessories like ‘70s-inspired sculptures and decanters that look like they came straight from a vintage bar cart.
