In 'N Out here in town, but when I am in southern California (and now southern Nevada), I head for The Original Tommy's.

I like the In-N-Out Double Double with regular onions add pickles.

Animal Style means the burger is cooked in mustard, and the onions are grilled.

More things on the unpublished menu include the 3 x 3 and the 4 x 4, the double double protein style (no bun...wrapped in lettuce)

I genuinely feel sorry for those parts of the country that don't have In-N-Out Burger. If McCain is elected, I'm considering opening a burger place in Vietnam. Vietnamese people love all things American. I was going to call the burger place "Big American Burger" and try to make the burgers as close as possible to In-N-Out, but with some added choices like bacon, cheddar cheese, etc.


Other good burgers include...

Tommy's Burger
Fuddruckers
Fat Burger
Carl's Jr. Jalapeno $6 burger


There is one burger place that I've been dying to visit. It's in Arizona. It's called the Heart Attack Grill.

http://heartattackgrill.com


They sell HUGE burgers with bacon, unfiltered cigarettes, Jolt Cola, etc. and they've got some SUPER sexy girls dressed up as nurses.

Here's some photos of the place and the girls.

Radar, you're in the wrong business. I can get there several times a year as I pass through Phoenix. There's a truck stop nearby, too. I just never heard of it before, but I'll be there in a week or so.

Take some photos and let me know how the burgers are. I remember drinking a lot of Jolt Cola when I was in college for those all-nighters the day before tests. The taste always reminded me of RC Cola.

I have only craved Big Macs. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I hated Red Robin's burgers----too much going on, no "medly" of "flavors" as in a Big Mac. The heaven of the Secret Sauce....mmmmm.

Also, I enjoy the Big Boy. A lot. So much so that I don't go there. I also love patty melts, tuna melts and ruebens.

soooo hungry....

Best burger I've had was the Blue Cheese Burger from GBK (Gourmet Burger Kitchen)
It's not really fast food though.

I like a big fat meaty burger, where I can taste the beef.
At McD's I'll eat a 1/4 pounder to get a fix, but it's too salty and nowehere near thick enough.

Oh that reminds me, I have some McD's tray inserts I wanted to ask about. I'll make a new thread.

In 'N' Out Burger -area cellarites: do people still snip the B and r off the word Burger nowadays?

And I'm not seeing any votes for White Castles. I don't do onions so no ratburgers for me!

I get a taste for sliders from time to time, but I certainly wouldn't put them up as the best fast food burger.

Five Guys is the best burger in this area, but I don't think it qualifies as fast food. They take your order and you wait for it.

So good, I'm happy I no longer work near a location.

There's a place downtown called Hut's that has my favorite burgers ever... the one I always get is called a "Bootieburger," and comes with swiss cheese, mushrooms, and sour cream. Goddamn I want one right now.

We used to do that to the bumper stickers when I was in high school. I haven't seen that done for a long time.

Ive never really been a fan of burgers, but those little ones that Ruby Tuesday offers are pretty good.

IMHO, the best burger here in Albaturkey is from Blake's Lotaburger. You can actually see them making it right after you order it. Some places you don't know how long it'sbeen sitting back there.

Carl's is way too messy.

And we don't have teh In'n'Out Burger. Yet. We just got Popeye's last year, so maybe...

I love mushroom burgers. Adding sour cream to the mix sounds very appealing.

Only thing stopping 'em is In 'N' Out doesn't seem to be giving out bumper stickers any more. Absolutely everybody's heard of it, though.

There is or was a little place in Alameda CA named Lisa's Happy Burrito. The wife and I have always wondered what the babies would look like if In 'N' Out Burger hooked up with Lisa's Happy Burrito...
