Over the course of the next few months, I'm counting down 100 of my favorite Houston dishes. I chose some because they are such quintessential Houston creations, others for their cultural or historical significance, and others because they are just so damn tasty.

#93 Cheeseburger at Leonard's Famous Burgers, 1913 W. Little York

This is a very moist hand-formed cheeseburger topped with the familiar square of American cheese. Nobody asked me what I wanted on it, but it was dressed with exactly the same condiments I would have asked for anyway -- mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions on a well-toasted bun. The sandwich was enthusiastically seasoned with salt and pepper.

This is the old-fashioned sort of drive-in where you eat in your car. It was a pleasantly nostalgic experience, until I got a couple of bites into the burger. I tried repositioning the wrapping paper, blotting with napkins and leaning over the passenger seat to avoid getting my shirt messy -- all to no avail. I recommend you get out of the car and use your tailgate or trunk lid for a table when eating Leonard's burgers. They are irrepressibly juicy.

It's a popular little hamburger shack -- at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon, there was a line to order and several people sitting in their cars waiting for their names to be called. The cheeseburger with fries and drink was seven bucks.
