When I say "best chain" I mean the chain where I willingly will eat
from time to time. When it comes to burgers In-N-Out is actually the
only chain I patronize. Other chains may do bigger grosses but they're
not "good," let alone "best." Certainly there are innumerable small
non-chain joints, some of which may make tasty burgers, but many of
them make lousy burgers, too. Sometimes you enjoy the uncertain hunt,
other times you want the certainty of the chain product.

As to the other poster's comment about (unobtrusive) biblical phrases
on the paper wrappings, they are just as easy to ignore as fortune
cookies and astrological fortune telling that you might find elsewhere.
Perhaps less useful, but that's a thread for some other group. -aem
