Here are the results to this week's poll: Five Guys or In-N-Out? From 674 votes as of 9 a.m:
Five Guys 34% In-N-Out 66%
The results aren't very surprising. Some chose In-N-Out for value and consistency; others chose Five Guys for more topping choices and better fries. I personally don't prefer either one, although In-N-Out seems more special since I don't live near one.
Thanks for participating in our poll! Stay tuned for the next one on Monday.
I was at the In-N-Out on Tropicana in Las Vegas last month and there was a guy from back East, Philly I think he said, with a box full of burgers and he was taking pictures of them from all angles and gushing about how good they looked and how he couldn't wait to dive in and how he couldn't get burgers like them back home and on and on. And all around, people were basically ignoring him, tending to their own business, munching away, like that sort of thing happened all the time. I took my Animal DD, extra sauce, extra pickles and went outside. One man's Nirvana is another man's lunch.
I've never had In-N-Out, but Five Guys french fries flat-out suck. They are starchy and limp, and the so-called "Cajun" seasoning is bland and disgusting at the same time.
Their burgers are one step above McDonald's--edible--but hardly worth seeking out.
5 Guys has better fries? Uh, they look better...until those knuckleheads stuff em in styrofoam, which should be legally prohibited from ever coming in contact with fried anything. Everyone knows that the paper bag was invented by Albert Einstein specifically for the transportation and temporary storage of fried potato products, and to put them in anything else is heresy.

I think I see a double double animal style in my future. And by future, I mean lunch.

A big shiney BigWoollyMammoth "No-Prize" to the first AHT person to put together a Mash-Up of a Double Double and a 5 Guys Burgers and photographs it!
