I think of In n Out as a speciality burger. Oops I went out of the 5 miles! Slater's 50/50 is in Anaheim and they are known for their half beef, half bacon burger. They are similar to the counter with a design your own burger style. They have a full bar with a great beer slection, great appetizers, and sports on the tv! I wish we had one closer!The Jensen Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709938227037133166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430118606290157253.post-37946074763300859602011-06-02T14:12:46.796-07:002011-06-02T14:12:46.796-07:00For me, you just can't compare these burgers. ...For me, you just can't compare these burgers. They are just so different.<br /><br />For example, In-n-Out versus Fatburger? No comparison. In-N-Out has a light, frothy burger that leaves you quite satisfied but never busting-the-seams full. Fatburger...well. It's Fatburger. I usually have to roll home after one of those solid hunks of meat. It's good that I usually walk there--I need the exercise.<br /><br />And then there is Islands and their juicy, weighty burger packed with delicious condiments. Mmmmmm...<br /><br />Top veggie burger? The Counter.<br /><br />I have not been to Father's Office, although I have tried multiple times. I can't seem to wrap my head around waiting in line outside when there are plenty of delicious restaurants along the block. I also haven't been to 5 Guys. Yet. :)<br /><br />I'm trying to lower my cholestrol.

I confess, I've never had The Habit. Perhaps a taste test is in order. And the shack burger is pretty good but it's too much for me with the hot links and everything. <br /><br />Hailey, you don't think of In-N-Out as a traditional burger? How is it a design your own? What is this Slater's? Is it within a 5 mile radius? If so, I might need to sample.Noriko Nakadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13754758344933929490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430118606290157253.post-83464650560311104072011-06-01T15:26:10.871-07:002011-06-01T15:26:10.871-07:00Ok here it goes...burgers first! I believe there ...Ok here it goes...burgers first! I believe there are 3 type of burgers, the traditional (ketchup, mayo, lettuce tomato, pickles, onions) , the gourmet (those fancy smancy burgers that Nori you consider Nazi and can't make any changes to , and the specialized/design your own burger (those that come a certain way or you design). I think that burgers should be rated in their category because how do you compare an In-n-out burger to a five guys burger? They are two different types of burgers!<br /><br />Traditional<br />5. Islands<br />4. The Habit<br />3. Fatburger<br />2. Five Guys<br />1. Hinano Cafe-a total dive bar with one amazing burger!<br /><br />Gourmet<br />4. Fathers Office<br />3. 25 degrees-#1- arugla, gorgonzola, caramelized onions, bacon and <br />thousand island dressing.<br />2. Rustic Canyon-Niman Ranch Burger<br />1. Umami-Manly Burger<br /><br />Specialized/design your own<br />5. The Counter<br />4. Slater's 50/50<br />3. Apple Pan-steak burger<br />2. In n Out<br />1. 26 Beach<br /><br /> Traditional Fries<br />3. Fatburger fat fries<br />2. Rustic Canyon<br />1. 26 Beach<br /><br />Sweet Potato Fries<br />3. Fathers Office<br />2. Slater's 50/50<br />1. The Veggie Grill-without the potato seasoning<br /><br />Nori-it took me a couple of times at Five Guys to really start to like their burger. I think the mayo and cheese they use hurts the burger. But the meat is so soft. I have to TOTALLY disagree with you on hole in the wall but I only had it once and had it with the pretzel bun. All in all it just depends on what burger mood you are in!The Jensen Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709938227037133166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430118606290157253.post-88250122478338895132011-06-01T09:34:29.164-07:002011-06-01T09:34:29.164-07:00After finally trying Five Guys yesterday, I can sa...After finally trying Five Guys yesterday, I can say that they don't even come close to making my top 5. And while I enjoy The Counter's mini burgers, I still don't think they make the cut either. I think all the options for both places turn me off. My opinion is that if they've got a good burger, they should serve it to you the way they think is best. No alterations. <br /><br />So, with that, my top 5 are: <br />5. Islands<br />4. The Shack<br />3. The Habit<br />2. In-N-Out<br />1. Father's Office. <br /><br />Booyah!Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04227485835240359282noreply@blogger.com
