I've come to the realization that most burger joints are overrated

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Red Robins, Culver's, 5 guys, Portillo's and most resturant/bar burgers. Never had In and Out.





I had shake shack one time and that was all she wrote. Can't believe it took me this long to realize. My problem is most spots don't season their burgers and expect all them condiments to give it flavor. And some use low fat beef which means a dry patty.

Burger king is the only great burger joint left

I will not tolerate any slander.

Wendy's is a close second. Then five guys. Five guys too expensive but their meat is fukking delicious so sometimes I splurge

Burger King ain't consistent, but low key I'd rather have a fresh whopper over most of these gourmet burger spots.

Five Guys is bland. No seasonings. You taste the condiments more than the patty


If you've ever had a real burger, you couldn't go back to 5 guys.

Bland or no seasoning due to allergy risk of customers

Bullshyt. That ain't the reason.

I came to the realization that you can pan fry a burger at home with seasonings of choice, a basic slice of American cheese and a potato bun and this basic ass burger will taste a MILLION times better than ANY fast food burger...I don't care who it is.



Fast food burgers are bottom of the barrel. All of them.

The best burgers at made at home

No shyt but the burger itself just needs sea salt and black pepper, just make a patty out of ground beef and pan fry

5 guys is a hit. Only problem is they’re so fukking expensive. Never take a girl for a date there

Two burgers running you a band

I agree with OP.
Most burger places are overrated.
It's rare that I go to a burger chain and had a BAD burger. They're all fine. Most every family owned bar has good burgers too.

What I really find to be overrated are steakhouses. People just accept that a dinner at a steakhouse will run them $100-150 per person. Just the steaks alone will run you somewhere between $30-50. You go with your significant other, you're already at $100 before drinks/dessert/tip. I didn't even include appetizer.

I'm not saying to never go to a steakhouse, but there's this phony prestige and inflated cost about it that I don't like.

In-n-out will change your life.

In n out, FOR THE PRICE, is hard to beat.

But keep in mind ppl have different salt sensitivity, so places can't season burgers like that
