Guess I'm the minority here. I live about a mile from the original
Five Guys, and have five locations within easy range. And I've visited
a half-dozen In-n-outs in the last two years.

Both chains make equally crappy, well-done only hamburgers. Five Guys
are floating in a pool of oil; In-n-out lovers I know tell me that
they go there for the toppings, not the burgers themselves, and
usually order off-the-menu combinations. They do make excellent French
fries, but you have to eat them as soon as they're handed over.
Otherwise they steam and get soggy in the bag in about 30 seconds.

Fuddruckers makes good, bar-style burgers. Cooking accuracy is, of
course, dependent on the local staff and local laws ( For two years a
few years ago, ours weren't allowed to cook burgers less than medium.
Buusiness dropped off a cliff, so they changed the rules.)
Unfortunately, Fudds has awful rach-style fries.

Find a local bar that makes great burgers -- it should be easy. Or
make them yourself, better yet.
