In the UK we just have Mcdonalds....

The OP should have seen a starbucks in Argentina when they opened it over there...the lines were big enough to be a safety and fire hazard.

I know. It makes me sad.

For 9 months out of the year I have to go without a good burger. :(

Or root beer! Sweet Emperor why the hell do they not sell root beer outside of North America?!

Must be a lot of former Californians inh your town.

But yea In n Out really is a serious cult. They have a secret menu. Its funny to watch the cultists order in the secret code.
Their burgers are a little greasy for my taste but they still do unspeakable Cannerus like things to what McDonalds passes off as burgers.

Mmm Del Taco. The kids still don't believe me when I tell them it exists. They keep thinking I'm having an Alzheiomers moment and talking gabout Taco Bell.

I'm so sorry. I never knew. This explains a lot of the evil American hate.

As for In N Out burger,I haven't eaten there since I lived in California ,and that was twenty odd years Ago, do recall they were very crowded when we went.
Apparently they don't operate East of the Mississippi,which is a bit of a shame as I did enjoy their food quite a bit.

They anbd Carls Jr. are spreading. Indeed there is a rumor Carls may move its headquarters to Texas-likely Austin.

I've been to the In and Out next to stonebriar, the way they do the car line is insane. Better to walk in. But i dont know, guess I'm not a hamburger fanatic. To me, a hamburger is a hamburger. I mean no offense, not trying to say all hambuergers are alike, but I wont mind eating any type of burger really whether mconalds quarter pounder, five guys make your own, home made, etc.

I dont think I have ever tried whataburger

Also after watching someone's review of white castle, I am very afraid to go there

Not a California native, and don't understand the hype.

Meh. We have a Five Guys here and it's not even that good.

This is crazy, I can't believe people are willing to wait this long for a hamburger.

I have been wanting to stop by but I think the minimum wait is still like 45 minutes at the slowest part of the day.

I saw a clip on the news when they opened where a women started crying with joy when she took her first bite. I was overcome with the desire to slap her, I hate to admit.

I love Carl's Jr. Haven't tried the others mentioned here, but give me a Guacamole Bacon burger and I'm in heaven. Is Red Robin even worth mentioning? By no means the greatest, but still very good

Red Robin makes steak fries. I think I am the only person on the planet who likes steak fries.

Steak fries are awesome. But yeah, Hardee's is where its at. Sucks the closest one is 3 hours from me.

California native- They were only operating in Cali, Arizona because all of their meat ships from their patty production facility in Ca. so they have a limited radius of how far they can put a store and get the meat delivered every other day. They finally created another “patty production facility and distribution center." in Dallas to allow them to operate in Texas. At this rate it will be awhile before it gets to the south.

The secret menu is only because they will not change their menu to show new items-they like to advertise that they have the same menu that they had when they 1st opened. Their animal fries are awesome!

In N Out secret menu. I can't vouch for the veracity, although I recognize the "protein style" one though.

Lies. Raising Cane's beats them hands down.

I never ate at In'n'Out when I lived in Cali, specially not after Jes Goodwin and I had a conversation about it at Games Day LA in 2008(he doesn't get why people would go to a fast food restaurant whose name implies that their food goes in and out quickly).

Most of that link is true except for the "Flying dutchman". You could order it-2 meat/2 cheese but I don't know anyone who works there that has heard of the "flying Dutchman".

DOn't worry, I would too. In N Out is good, but it's not THAT good.

Hmm, as for burger fast food I'd say...

1) FIve Guys
2) Carl's Jr.
3) In-N-Out

However, a lot of the time I'd rather go to an In-N-OUt than a Carl's just because of the nostalgia facotr they've got.

And it's awesome to know they had grilled onions, I've been meaning to check that. Double Double with grilled onions here I come!

I'm not sure I would call Five Guys fast food. They don't have a drive-through.

No, but they still qualify as 'fast food' to me. You're not meant to always eat inside, and it's meant to take relatively little time to get your food served to you.


P.S.

God, what is with dakka giving me a little warning about too many capital letters/exclamation points every time I post here?

Five Guys is just over-priced fast food with an annoyingly long wait.


And yeah, I got that warning as well, and I had exactly two capital letters and no exclamation points.
