Fatburger, but the only one that was in my area closed down.
Five Guys is the only one I would be okay with. McDonalds is probably the worse, followed by wendys being 2nd worst. BurgerKing is… um… its like good for like your first try, then subsequent times it taste worse and worse each time you got there.
I don’t eat a lot of burgers so I probably don’t know what a “good” burger taste like, I grew up in an Asian household so I don’t exactly eat a lot of “western” food for the most of my life (like… relatively speaking, in comparison to the rest of the US).
West coast dude that has visited all over the US. I’ve had BK/McD’s, Whataburger, Jack in the box, In-N-Out, Carl’s Jr, Smashburger, Sonic, Shake Shack, White Castle, Five Guys, A&W, and maybe a couple more I’ve forgotten. Best for me, hands down:
Culver’s butter burger with cheese and everything on it.
Culver’s is the answer.
When I was a kid my dad would take us to Halo Burger in the Flint, Michigan area once in a while. Haven’t gone in decades, since I grew up and moved away from the state. Something about how the burger was seasoned, just delicious. Nowadays I usually stop by Culver’s for a double deluxe, now that there’s one not far from the house (did earlier today, actually).
Everyone keeps saying culver’s and my Canadian ass is so curious
None of them? I find it’s worth the extra $2 to go somewhere local or “fast casual”. Places like McDonalds , Wendy’s, and Burger King are overpriced garbage these days.
Also it doesn’t take much longer to make a burger at home. I get that cleanup can take some time, and a lot of folks are averse to deep frying at home. But if I want a burger and fries, nine times out of ten I’m going to make it myself.
I’m also a line cook so I probably enjoy cooking more than most folks
Nando’s’ double cheese and bacon burger with added pineapple and hot basting
A bag of dick’s, delicious.
Twenty years ago I lived across the street from Dick’s on Broadway. So many late nights ended with stumbling a few yards for a greasy bag of Dick’s. Interestingly enough, my former residence is now the Capitol Hill light rail station. But thank the good lord Dick’s is still there.
Definitely Dick’s.
There’s a regional chain in LA called Tom’s Jr. It offered unbeatable value like its Big Mac clone that went for $3.50 until they very recently bumped the price up to $5 each.
In N Out
Ah yes, I too desire wet dog shit. I’d rather eat an AM/PM burger.
In n out was easily the most disappointing experience for me, I ended up enjoying shake shack much more.
Double teen burger from A&W.
Has enough meat with the double patty, and has all the toppings like onion, pickle, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, etc.
You have to specify A&W Canada. The US doesn’t have Teen burgers and they’re generally inferior.
These days, I’m really trying for there not to be.
Shake shack
The kebab shop down the road makes burgers too and they’re better than everything I’ve had from one of the large chains while still distinctly feeling like junk food.
Is it that they spice the patties or something else? What’s the liklihood their burgers are mixed meat? Like maybe goat + beef?
Very low. Goat meat is expensive.
I don’t remember the last time I had a fast food burger. And I would like to keep it that way. Thank you.
You know you want to
Only one I can eat, impossible whopper. I wish they would go all in and use the superior black bean burger instead tho
When McDonald’s gets an equivalent, they’re going to make so much money off of me
