They should have done a Quarter Pounder from McD's. Since they changed it from frozen to fresh meat it's WAY better than a Big Mac!!

As someone who flipped burgers at Steak n’ Shake for a good 6 months, I have this weird feeling of pride that it was the best. It certainly is to me. We take refrigerated meat pucks and slam it on to the griddle with the spatula, give it a special seasoning, cheese it, and slide it on a toasted bun. So good.

We moved from Texas to, first, North Carolina and then Michigan and have been away for almost fifteen years now. I drove back down two weeks ago and decided to hit Whataburger on the drive. Gas station Whataburger on US 59 In Navasota was terrible. No seasoning and they forgot the cheese. A week later the hometown Whataburger was exactly as I remembered. Juicy well seasoned and the buns were delicious. Double meat. Double cheese. Jalepenos.

It is good to see Steak N Shake get some love. While not the biggest chain around, they arguably are among the most copied. Culver's and Freddy's both do a version of SnS, while Danny Meyer, the guy who started Shake Shack, openly says he used his memories of going to Steak N Shake as a kid in St. Louis for his inspiration

I lived in California for 40 years and then moved to Texas a couple of years ago to a city that does indeed have a few In N Out Burgers. In that experience of eating at two In N Outs here and about 5 million of them in SoCal, they are THE most consistent fast food chain I've experienced. The food always tastes exactly the same no matter where you go and I've never had a single time at ANY of their restaurants where they fucked up my order. Not. Even. Once. Much has been said about their fries being garbage and if you get them plain I can understand feeling that way, but animal style fries are GOOD dammit so just get them that way. They are also one of the best value for your dollar fast food places, my normal order there here in San Antonio comes out to about $14.50 with drink included while if I got Jack In The Box, McDonalds, Arbys, or Wendys, I can expect to spend anywhere from $18 - $20. It's one the cheapest places and somehow they also manage to pay their employees more than any other place (Arby's I went to recently had a sign up that said "now hiring starting at $14 per hour," In N Out has a sign up "now hiring starting at $20 per hour"). Anyway, that's enough sucking In N Out's dick, they aren't paying me to talk them up but I fucking love them.

I love that you immediately said Sonic was the same as Whataburger. Before I had Whataburger for the first time, a friend told me that it was just "Sonic but orange". And when I had Whataburger for the first time, my first thought was, "This tastes just like Sonic." 🤣

I work at a place that is a restaurant, but also has a drive thru. Let me just say…that our burgers are fire. People come to our place, which is a BBQ restaurant, just for the burgers. It’s 50/50; chuck and sirloin ground and pattied. Goes on the grill, lil salt and pepper, flip, more seasoning, American cheese, lettuce, pickle, onion, and comeback sauce. We use potato buns from a bakery and butter them up all nice to be toasted. Super juicy, flavorful, got the textures, etc. I’m very proud of the food we make. Everything is made by scratch and done well. 👌🏻

Wisconsin or Michigan, Culvers is the best fast food burger without a doubt. Yall have shitty workers or something.

I’m canadian and Ive tried Shake Shack burgers 5-6 times. My favorite burger in the world. I was surprised when you said there wasn’t any seasoning in it cause everytime I had one it was super salty, in a good way. I like my food on the salty side. Was it a mistake?

I absolutely agree with the whole topping dilute the flavor of the burger. I personally only eat burgers from fast food and sit down restaurants plain, just the meat, cheese, (bacon occasionally) and buns. You can only truly judge a burger when it’s at its base form. I have a super sensitive tongue so certain toppings are overbearing. However when I make my burgers at home I do add toppings but just the right amount that I like.

I’m SHOCKED at the winner, and this was a lot of fun. The best taco next??

I wish you could have added Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, since they have location in most states (including California). Your final result looks a lot like theirs (lacey smash burger with onion, long cut pickles, etc), plus they might make the best fries in the business (extra thin shoestring cut). If Freddy's cooked them in beef tallow, then they would be the best fries. Of course, some prefer different potato cuts, but differentiating the flavor with beef tallow (or some other cooking oil) really amps up the experience.
