The Fast Food Burger Poll
As a spinoff from the Culver's thread, here's a poll about fast food burger joints. I'm putting up the normal poll for all you lazy asses out there, but it really makes more sense to rate them all individually rather than just picking your favorite (since favorites will largely depend on what places you've actually tried). Because of that, here's a slightly more in-depth poll that I'll report on the results of in a few days.

Fast Food (counter service) and Fast-Casual (sit down, wait staff takes your order) ought to be separate categories too. Different price ranges, and very different types of burgers.
I did (yes, Simply Red, I did!) vote for Culver's because that's my favorite fast-food burger. It scores the highest on the flavor/texture-to-price ratio. I have soft spot for the diner-style burger too. How can a Kansas Citian not when Winstead's is around? (For me more specifically, it was Ray's Diner in Excelsior Springs, MO). As far as fast-casual goes, my favorite burger in that sphere is from Jim n Nick's, a 30ish location southern food chain (that sources local ingredients, amazingly). Their burgers have a great blend and getting them cooked medium-rare is not a problem. |

Pertinent to this thread are a series of articles that the magazine Hobart put out last year titled "An Assessment of Fast Food Hamburgers in the Southeastern United States." These had me painfully cramping up with laughter. For example:

Completely unrelated to fast food burgers, but I tried a place near downtown KC called Westside Local (absolute antithesis to fast food) today for lunch and had their burger. The longer the day goes the more it dawns on me that it was very good. Ground ribeye patty and a subtle combination of sweet and tangy between the toppings. But the bun really did it - light and soft like a cloud. Although it did cost $12, so it better be good.

In terms of fast-food burgers, it's Culver's and it's not close. It's a damn solid fast-food offering.

My youngest wanted Freddy's yesterday. My first time...nothing even close to special. Didn't hate it, but wouldn't recommend it or go there on my own.

I really like Back Yard Burgers. Never had In-n-Out, only had Five Guys once, State Line location, and it was just ok.

Terry's Turf Club in Cincinnati is the best burger I've ever had.

Five Guys: Burgers that taste like mom made 'em, fries exactly like mom made 'em, a soda, and $14 less in your wallet.

I'm in the same boat. Backyard Burgers are pretty damned good. I had In-N-Out while in San Diego and just didn't get it. Nothing special. 5 Guys is good but too damned messy and too expensive (for me). Steak and Shake is quality but simple. I still like Freddy's a lot, though. And, in all honesty - I'm still partial to Sonic. But hell, I'm easy. I can't recall the name of that joint in KCK where the food is delivered by overhead train/trolley car....can't remember it to save my life. |

I tried that Subway Angus thing - I may have even created a thread on it - I don't recall for sure. It was indeed, awful. |
