The hamburger's round shape helps maximize topping distribution, keeps the sandwich gripped comfortably in one's hands, and can spontaneously make one half of a pair of flattering earmuffs. Marvel at the versatile roundness of burgers with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of burgers, fries, and shakes at Elevation Burger in Montclair.

Elevation Burger prides itself on serving only fresh, sustainable ingredients but still providing the quick, casual atmosphere typical of fast-food restaurants. Elevation also kept its sustainable philosophy in mind when designing the restaurant itself, using renewable, non-polluting materials and surfaces, including bamboo flooring and compressed sorghum tabletops. Each day, a meat guru grinds 100% USDA-certified organic, grass-fed, free-range beef on-site, while a small army hand-scoops shakes ($3.89) and fresh-cuts fries ($2.79). Elevation Burger aims to provide burger buffs with heart-healthy options as well, its entire menu is free of trans-fats, and diners can customize comestibles according to carb-conscious or vegetarian diet restrictions. If the single-pattied veggie burger ($3.79) and the double-pattied Elevation burger ($5.99) don't squash hunger pangs, build your own three- to 10-pattied colossus with the Vertigo burger, a sandwich so tall it gives diners the most delicious case of claustrophobia.

• I order the burger with pickles, elevation sauce (sweeter ketchup sauce), and raw onions. The organic grass-fed meat was delicious! The meat was perfect (not overcooked, didn't taste like charred particles, rubbery). – PJ Y., Yelp
• The burgers here are fantastic. It's always a plus when you ask for "extra pickles" and they really deliver with an EXTRA amount of pickles. – Melanie, Urbanspoon
