I'm surprised, there are five Five Guys locations in the area. IT, we'll have to compare it with In-N-Out. |

Look, the best burger is the one I cook up right here. You can keep those packaged things made of edible grade meat mixed with sawdust that are then sizzled into charred leather. Mine are hand formed with premium chopped sirloin. I actually add olive oil to the meat to give it enough fat for precise cooking. They vary with my whim. Sometimes I'll form them around a ball of stilton that will melt into the middle as the meat grills. Sometimes I'll add garlic, onion, and worcestershire sauce with a few shakes of seasoned bread crumbs. Sometimes I'll add shredded parsley to the mix and maybe a little red wine. Whatever I have at hand and which seems to go well together. I'm getting hungry! |

Not sure how no.'s 3-5 beat out Carl's Jr. - another fast food place but head and shoulders above them. |

Carl's Jr isn't nationwide and isn't famous outside its areas, so it doesn't have much of a chance in such a poll, I guess. I would like to hear from anybody who chose "mcDonalds" in that poll, whether they can name a single burger place with worse burgers? I have a hard time imagining there are such things in the world. I mean, a burger is pretty good regardless (in that it's a sandwich that does not violate the Sandwich Golden Rule of "don't be cold") but there's nothing about a mcdonald's burger that's "good" comparatively. |

i add olive oil and provencal herbs. go into weber as elliptoid ovals (like the milky way seen edgewise) not flat pattys. dont use spatula to flatten them to cook. just close the top of the weber on medium gas, time 5 min and flip and another 4 min. medium rare burgers. served with red onions which are also seared on grill, and fresh tomatoes. george, with me, u can have a comfy chair. burger king and mcdonalds can kiss my arse. |

ovals, that's interesting bach. I've read about making concave impressions in the raw patties so that when they plump as they cook, they become flat. Does starting them out as oval achieve that same thing? |

pressing them flat to hasten cooking just removes juices and dries out the meat. i think the oval shape is maintain even cooking through out the burger. hey, it also sounds cool. galaxy shaped buger.

You're all wrong. The best burger can only be made with one ingredient: tofu. |

I've not tried #1 or 2 but the others have made me so physically ill I doubt I'll try. But home made? Yummy. We're on a bison kick of late. I should try the olive oil. Good tip. |

I'm not normally one to defend McDonalds, but the Angus burger isn't all that bad. Obviously, it shouldn't be 5th in the world or anything, but it's definitely edible, and I now don't go slightly green when my kids shout 'McDonalds!'. |

I actually used the term 'pretty good' when I had one. I wonder what the catch is. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I would put In-N-Out above Five Guys. FG is very inconsistent. One day I can have a killer burger, the next time very mediocre. |

McDonalds fries are horrible. These people need to go to a fish and chip shop across the pond. If they won't change their opinions they should be forced to drink the hot oil. |

I could be wrong, but I believe Carl's and Hardees share the same corporate ownership. ![]() So, outside C'sJ's area, you'll find Hardees. |
