The fact that McDonalds is even ON that list completely discredits it.

the fact that five guys and in and out are on the top legitimizes it.

In and Out is so overrated. They are the Notre Dame of burger joints.

My office is almost across the street for 5 Guys and just down the road from In-and-Out here in Orem. I do not eat out for lunch much, or else I'd pack on like 50 lbs in no time. Seriously, I love both places, but 5 Guys is my favorite. Love those peanut oil fries too.

My boys and I love 5 Guys. I always get more than enough to eat with one hamburger.

Whenever I hear something I look at the source, if it's MSNBC then I know it's crap, so this list is crap (even though I do like Five Guys). The Carl's Junior Six Dollar Burger blows anything from Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, etc. right out of the water.

I don't eat fast food very much, but this weekend we had family over and ended up eating at 5 Guys after the practice on Friday and In-N-Out after the scrimmage on Saturday.



I'd rank them as In-N-Out number one. I absolutely love the Double Double with raw onions. and #2 is 5 Guys.

of course this survey didn't even list the Coney's burger (a Utah County limited experience) which I rank up there as good as in-n-out or 5 guys.

It was simply reporting on a zagat survey. it was not msnbc who did the survey.



five guys is best in my mind. I had my first one at the very first five guys restaurant in northern virginia. this was when there were only two stores. I was blown away. still am. in my mind in and out cant even compare. in and out is best value for sure, but not best burger.

if your in utah you have to consider Crown Burger and Olympus Burger. The Olympus Burger's Bacon Double is the bomb, fries are great too.

Mmm. I love this debate.



Grew up in bush Alaska, so the only burger I ever had was a homemade caribou burger (which, in case anyone's curious, is the BEST meat on EARTH, burger, steaks, or otherwise - but that's another discussion for another time ;) ), however, that also meant I wasn't subject to a "hometown" bias in this debate. Seriously, TRY to find a Californian who doesn't think InNOut BURIES all competition. TRY to find a Virginian who doesn't think Five Guys BURIES all competition.



So, on with the narrative:



Then I came to BYU - Oh my Pastrami Burger at Burger Supreme

Then I married a Cali Girl - Oh my Double Double Animal-Style at InNOut

Then we moved to Northern Virginia, birthplace of - Oh my Five Guys!!!



Look, you can't go wrong with any of the three, but if I'm being totally honest, it goes

1. Five Guys

2. Burger Supreme

3. InNOut



...with the caveat that when in Utah, a stop at Burger Supreme is just not optional. But hey, who am I kidding, if we're in Cali, it's not like we're not stopping at InNOut at least once either! I'm just happy I live at the home of the best of the three!

So is all of this code for football? Is the 5 guys the coaches are something? Who is in and out, the Qb's? Here in Eastern oregon we just have McD's, Wendy and Burger King.

My anniversary is tomorrow and our daughter is at Lagoon with friends so I asked my wife if she'd like to go to dinner tonight.



I was trying to think of somewhere nice and remembered this Italian place down the street we've wanted to try so we drive down there and just before we walk in the door my wife says "do you think they have burgers here?" :lol:



We don't have In and Out in SLC and Five Guys is too far away. We drove down to SmashBurger but something about it didn't turn her crank so we ended up at Crown Burger. Happy Anniversary!

I like Tommy's on 1st North and 4th-ish West in Provo.



I need my burger from a dive, otherwise it just don't feel right.
