    There’s a regional chain in LA called Tom’s Jr. It offered unbeatable value like its Big Mac clone that went for $3.50 until they very recently bumped the price up to $5 each.

      Twenty years ago I lived across the street from Dick’s on Broadway. So many late nights ended with stumbling a few yards for a greasy bag of Dick’s. Interestingly enough, my former residence is now the Capitol Hill light rail station. But thank the good lord Dick’s is still there.

    I don’t remember the last time I had a fast food burger. And I would like to keep it that way. Thank you.

    The kebab shop down the road makes burgers too and they’re better than everything I’ve had from one of the large chains while still distinctly feeling like junk food.

    Five Guys is the only one I would be okay with. McDonalds is probably the worse, followed by wendys being 2nd worst. BurgerKing is… um… its like good for like your first try, then subsequent times it taste worse and worse each time you got there.

    I don’t eat a lot of burgers so I probably don’t know what a “good” burger taste like, I grew up in an Asian household so I don’t exactly eat a lot of “western” food for the most of my life (like… relatively speaking, in comparison to the rest of the US).

    West coast dude that has visited all over the US. I’ve had BK/McD’s, Whataburger, Jack in the box, In-N-Out, Carl’s Jr, Smashburger, Sonic, Shake Shack, White Castle, Five Guys, A&W, and maybe a couple more I’ve forgotten. Best for me, hands down:

    Culver’s butter burger with cheese and everything on it.

      There’s something about McDonald’s paper thin patties, greasy buns, and rehydrated onions that really hits the spot

        I think there is a window of perfection for peak enjoyment. Your description is spot on. It’s purely a McD’s sensory experience.

          Ya I don’t know what it is, but even walking past a McDonald’s and sniffing their unique brand of grease will get my mouth watering. They must put a little heroin or something in there.

        Can’t tell if that’s sarcasm but you actually nailed it… it’s nostalgia food for me, I used to eat these as a kid

          Oh I am being very genuine. I used to look forward to night classes in uni because I would ritualistically get 2 Mcdoubles dressed like macs on the way home.

    Double teen burger from A&W.

    Has enough meat with the double patty, and has all the toppings like onion, pickle, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, etc.

      You have to specify A&W Canada. The US doesn’t have Teen burgers and they’re generally inferior.
