The dude that never went to in-n-out
Behold the superior hamburger, ye mighty, and despair:
- Their burgers are bomb AF, I'll admit that, but my two complains from them are 1) they're small, we're used to big Whataburgers here so I practically have to get two of them and 2) their fries, yes it's oversaid but their fries are just different and not always in a good way. Though I will say they do taste better if you get a salt packet and pour it on.
- In-n-out is mid and their fries are like cardboard.
  
  Name better fast food at a comparative price.
  
  Five guys.
  
  Five guys is triple the price if not more.
  
  Not in the West Coast. Both are about ~7 for the base burger and cap out at about ~12 for the highest menu item without extras.
  
  50 USD for 2 people to eat at five guys. Case closed
  
  ...about $30, you mean. I mean if you're trying to go for 2k+ kcal per person you'd hit 50+,but a normal person would have a hard time eating more than 15$ of five guys.

  Or maybe you think a "cheeseburger" is too big. Let me get you the smallest combinations of fry+burger+drink on the whole menu. $17.30 here.
  
  Or maybe you are fat and want large fries, burger and a shake. $25.11
  
  That's a full 3$ more than it is on the West Coast. Sorry you guys have a higher cost of living.
  
  Ah yes, Five Guys. Where the fries turn into a pile of greasy mush if not eaten within the first five minutes your order is ready. But you've completed that task, you're now full-up on fried potato, but now your burger is cold or at best half eaten. Nobody should have to eat with the gusto of a professional contestant just to make the most of things. It's a meal that conspires against itself, every single time.
  If you skip the fries, the burgers are actually pretty good and can enjoy it at any pace.

  I'm sorry you're too used to frozen preserves potatoes from Sysco or other manufacturers of potato-like rectangles to appreciate real fries.
  
  Fresh-cut, single-cooked fries are the worst kind. Soft, greasy, unsatisfying.
  
  Lmao 🤣 can't take this guy seriously after this
  
  Yes, but to be fair, it's peak mid. Most other chains do a worse job on burgers, and to do better, you have to go substantially upmarket.
