Most of my middle school votes have been tallied. Still waiting on returns from my high school classes.

*Election Update*

High school votes came in and they really showed up in force for Five Guys. Pretty impressive county map drawn by a middle schooler from memory.

In ‘n Out takes it! Stale fries and Bible verses for everyone! Last minute write ins for Freddy’s and Smash Burger.

Five Guys? Geezus, are you teaching “remedial”.

Does this mean that I should actually try Shake Shack?

Five Guys is really taking a beating here, the poll numbers did not see this coming.

There is a Five Guys in town, but I’ve never been, I have been to Shake Shack though which we don’t have around here. My first memory of a Shake Shack burger was like a revelation , but the last time I was there it was just ok. For a chain burger my vote goes to Culvers.

I demand a recount.

This vote is tainted. Five Guys should be leading, and I’m personally appalled that WHATABURGER isn’t even on the ticket.

Just moved away from the midwest and I miss Culver’s like crazy. I would say 5 guys is better, but Culver’s has more repeatability.

Shake Shack and In-N-Out are about equal for me.

I could have added even more regional chains to the list, but I had to narrow it down. We also have Culver’ s and Whataburger here.

Seriously. I've had all three and five guys is definitely the best.

SBA Thanks You For All The Fish > DipodomysDeserti 11/06/2020 at 14:46

Yeah. There’s that, too.

I gave up on them with the “Ha-Ha, a ‘Medium’ bag of fries weighs 5 pounds”.

For me, there’s no reasonable way to mitigate a Five Guys Stop as a recipe for an MI and a stent.

See, and I find Shake Shack underwhelming. I could get an equally satisfying meal for $3 less at Five Guys.

Five guys is good but always ends up super expensive.

In ‘n out is fine but there is usually a line a mile long and if you go inside, thousands of kids running freely jumping over booths. Literally my nightmare.

I went to a shake shack once and it was ok, nothing mind blowing. Unremarkable experience.

This has been terrible, substance less food reviews with PowderHound. Thank you and merry Hanukah .

my hot take: In n Out wouldn’t be NEARLY as popular/have such a cultish following if it wasn’t so geographically scarce.

There, I said it!

I feel like the main thing in common between Five Guys, In ‘n Out, and Shake Shack is that they’re all overrated.  Five Guys has good (but greasy) burgers and (imho) terrible fries, and In ‘n Out is fine, I guess, but nothing to go out of my way for.

People waited in line to eat at fucking White Castle when it opened here. I could not understand that one. We’ve had In and Out  here for well over a decade, and they are still always packed. They are dirt cheap, which is why they’re so popular.

We only have one Steak ‘n Shake , and it’s more of a novelty restaurant opened up next to ASU . There are quite a few Culver’s, but I think only our Wisconsin transplants eat there. No one really gets anything other than ice cream at DQs here.

We only have Five Guys here.  It’s quite good.  I’ve had In an Out once.  It was also quite good.  It was 15 years ago though, so I can’t call it.  Never even seen a Shake Shack.

Five Guys isn’t the unanimous winner? Clearly rigged by big burger.

Shake Shack is like Five Guys, but sub peanuts with beer.

But both 5 guys and shake Shack cost twice as much. Literally. Burger, fries, and drink at in n out is like $7-8. That same meal at shake Shack or 5 guys would be $12-15. It’s an unfair comparison because while I prefer a 5 guys burger and the bag of fries with all the toppings on the burger , I’d rather have two double doubles animal style, well done fries, ice tea, and then have like $5 leftover for another double double another day!

It’s pretty good, worth a visit. Expensive as all hell but I’ve always enjoyed eating there. Seriously will spend as much as eating at a local restaurant.

Heathens! I think it's bit of the "forbidden fruit" to me though since I have all the in n out I could dream of here in LA. But whataburger is unattainable, so I desire it more.

I have some grievances to air! Time for feats of strength to prove which one is better. I'll go set up the pole.

I actually never realized we had Whataburgers here until Stef mentioned them on Oppo i n one of our burger fight posts. Then I noticed  they are all over. Still haven’t eaten there.

DipodomysDeserti > Wrong Wheel Drive (41%) 11/06/2020 at 16:23

It’s a fair comparison, because no one voting in this election buys their own food.

We have a local burger joint here that is a lot better than any of them. Costs about the same as Shake Shack and Five Guys, so that’s where I go for a fast food burger.

After watching adults over the last few years, they’re definitely a lot better than any of us. I was actually preparing for them to argue over this, but they all listened and respected their classmate’s choices .

Oh man, Smash Burger. I’ve eaten there twice-- it was inedibly salty both times. And I, like, put salt on salt.

Only one Steak ‘n Shake in WA, I think, and it is a novelty type thing too in downtown Seattle, likely going for transplants. No Culvers, no Shake Shack or In ‘n Out  that I recall . PNW seems to lack the entire national breadth of fast food options

I don’t eat burgers, and I like Blizzards, so DQ is always a good option.

You need to go tomorrow morning and order a honey butter chicken biscuit. For lunch, order a hatch green chili burger or a double meat double cheese with whatever you want on it.

You will forever hate In-n-Out.

Actually a very good point. If I do a double-double and fries, I’m usually searching around for some kind of desert 1 hr later.

I only go to In ‘n Out because it is dirt cheap and they have vegetarian options for my kids, not because it is good. I’m c leaning up my diet, so I’ll have to pass on the chicken biscuits, but I’ll try out the chili burger. They do have the coolest logo and color scheme of any fast food place.

Plot twist: I know the guy who started five guys. He lives in my city and keeps his boats at the same marina as me. He’s a nice guy. Started out with a burger shop with his sons and is now a multinational businessman.  His sons own giant houses in town. Burger kings.

I like the fries!

oh the joys of being a kid again. Being an adult and having to pay money for food sucks. Although having choice is more valuable to me.
