Fatburger, but the only one that was in my area closed down.
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
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).
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
In N Out
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
These days, I'm really trying for there not to be.
My options are severely limited since I don’t eat meat, but The Habit makes a really nice veggie burger. They have one of the fake meat burger brands as well, but those honestly make me gag a little with how greasy they are.
I've had impossible burgers and they're surprisingly good but so damn expensive
Shake shack
Sweden has a hamburger chain named 'Mr York' and they are amazing!
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.
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
The only fast food burgers I eat happen to be White Castle single cheeseburger.
The habit
My current favorite one is a "local" (it's available nationwide though) one called Vicio, which means addiction in Spanish, I tried them because they opened a store near me and had a sign saying "We're called Vicio, and we cook burgers, you can imagine the rest" which I thought was pretentious, and decided to test them, but they're really good burgers.
Before those I would have said my favorite was Five Guys ones, still do but haven't had them in a while. And before those I used to like a local gourmet burger place back in Brazil.
Schoops , Whataburger, Culvers
BK Impossible with no mayo
If I have to pick a burger, then same! But if we're talking vegan fast food options than my first choice is always gonna be fresco style burritos at 🌮 🔔
i had no idea there was a dairy free taco hell option, ty for bringing this to my awareness!
I miss the fiesta veggie burrito so much
Tasty Burger's Big Tasty.
Goodtimes, haven't had one since I was in Colorado.
In n out dbl dbl
Assuming the question means fast food chain
Second is dbl cheeseburger from McD, hate me if you need to
There's something about McDonald's paper thin patties, greasy buns, and rehydrated onions that really hits the spot
I think there is a window of perfection for peak enjoyment. Your description is spot on. It’s purely a McD’s sensory experience.
Ya I don't know what it is, but even walking past a McDonald's and sniffing their unique brand of grease will get my mouth watering. They must put a little heroin or something in there.
