Not the way to build a roster long-term, in my opinion.

Notice how these various rankings rarely agree at all on such things ...

I'd eat most of them.  I'm definitely down with the Jucy Lucy from Matt's Bar in Minneapolis.

I don't agree that some of them are burgers, though.  At the very least, a burger needs to have one or more ground meat patties at its core.  The Bulgogi Burger looks like a tasty sandwich, but it's just loose shaved grilled meat in the center.  That's not a burger.

We went to Longhorn yesterday for lunch with my pitching coach, their burger was decent for $10, not fantastic, but OK.  We were out in the 'burbs where everything is a chain, or Mexican (which I would prefer probably).  The good news is that he's a terrific coach and has corrected some errors I was making for the past 60 years or so and it makes a huge difference.

We'll try Mexicanish next time.  The best Mex I've had here is almost entirely Hispanic folks dining there, so I figure it's close to real.

The 10 Best Mexican Restaurants in Atlanta | Atlanta Magazine

It's Numero Quattro on their list here.  This would be a drive for us to get there, miight try it.

1. Taqueria La Oaxaquena
You can fight us on this if you insist, but you won’t change our minds that this is the best regional Mexican restaurant in the metro area—which makes it the best, period. Oaxaca is considered the culinary capital of Mexico, and the Oaxacan specialty that chowhounds have raved about for years at this Jonesboro hotspot is the tlayuda: a large grilled tortilla covered pizzalike with refritos, string cheese, avocado, lettuce, and your choice of meat (pork sluiced in chile is tops). You’ll also discover some of the finest tacos in town; handmade corn tortillas are folded around delicacies such as stewed beef cheeks, tripe, and pork al pastor. Chicken tamales, flavored either with mole or salsa verde, have a surprisingly delicate texture. Huaraches, the sandal-shaped boats of masa dough, are sublime loaded with rich goat meat. Our favorite recent discovery: a burrito stuffed with carnitas that blasts the palate in all the right ways. No matter what you order (and you should order it all), you can’t go wrong. 605 Mount Zion Road, Jonesboro, 770-960-3010

I see 3-4 more such rankings on line with little overlap, and this is just in one city.

Sounds good, they're saying all the right things.  I'd give it a try.

For me, the great thing about Tex/Mex is the variety of flavors one gets on a plate, and it's usually reasonably priced.  I really like that, perhaps even more than something super fancyish that could be less interesting.  At times, I think the fancy places put more emphasis on appearance/garnish than on the food.  Our neighbor wanted to take us to one near us and my wife flat out didn't like it.  I thought it was "OK" but hardly any entree was under $40.    I had scallops, OK they were fine, but I can do them at home pretty easily, maybe not as prettily.  

We do tacoes/burritoes at home fairly often, they are easy of course, and good, some assembly required.  We have some leftover flatiron steak (that was delicious) we'll use tonight I expect.

We could do a ranking of ethnic food types, I would really struggle not to have 5-6 Number Ones.

TexMex
Indian
Thai
Vietnamese
Japanese
Chinese
Italian
Mediterranean
French
Canadian

I like pretty much all regional cuisines.  There are a handful of ingredients I don't like, but overall I'm open to just about anything.  I too would find it tough to name just one as my "favorite."

Very true, and it kinda gets me when I see something like that.

A burger is centered around a beef patty.

A turkey/chicken/shrimp/whatever burger is not a burger.

Those are turkey/chicken/shrimp/whatever burgers.

Heck, I'm comfortable just calling them "sandwiches" and not burgers.  Not sure why we have to broaden the definitions on things that were perfectly fine as they were.

Just like the fact that chicken fajitas don't actually exist because "fajita" refers to a specific cut of beef.  What you're eating is a taco de pollo asado.  Which is a delicious and tasty thing that has existed for scores of years, long before anyone outside a very specific region had ever heard of fajitas.  There's no need to incorrectly label a chicken taco as a fajita.
