Real Talk. I learned that the hardway like you mentioned. Gotta eat your veggies and drink your water. Your gut will thank you for it. If I don’t feel like eating veggies I’ll at least have 2 cups worth of V8 for the day
It’d be too difficult to include burritos because everyone knows the best burritos don’t come from chains so it’s nearly impossible for people to confirm or deny.
That being said my tiers
S tier: five guys’ Fries (regular. Not Cajun style). Perfect crispness, seasoning, I stopped by just last night just to get a “little” Fries which I would say is bigger than a McDonald’s super-sized for the same price. The perfect fry imo.
A tier: super Duper burger
In n out - I love in n out but for overall meal I would rather go to 5 guys because in n outs Fries are horrible. some people love them but they’re all crazy. I wish they would include some bacon so a guy could get a fucking bacon double double.
B tier: five guys burger
Red Robin burger /steak fries
Habit burger
Someone asked me if the fresh baked buns from Carl’s Jr was worth it. It depends on how hungry you are if you want a six dollar burger or not; pretty tasty either way!
Someone also brought up SUSHI BURRITOS. There is a place near my house that makes them and they are FUCKING DELICIOUS. Wish I knew about that place earlier. In the past week or so I’ve eaten there four times. So good.
I don’t see how you could put Five Guys regular fries over cajun fries. The regular fries are so bland.
Limiting my list to chains I’ve personally eaten at, so no Red Robin, no Carl’s Jr/Hardee’s, no Johnny Rockets and no Shake Shack on my list
A tier - Five Guys, their burgers are cooked exactly how I like, condiment and topping selection is great and their fries put the whole package over the top.
A- tier - In-n-Out, they have McDonald’s prices with burgers that can compete with chains that cost twice as much. Insane value for the money.
B tier - Fuddruckers, good selection of meats and one of the few chains that ask you how you like your burger cooked. The topping buffet ensures you get exactly the burger you want. Fries are good, and the kettles of melted cheese go great on the burgers and fries.
C tier - Steak and Shake, as previously stated, you can walk into a Steak and Shake and spend McDonald’s tier money and get a vastly superior product. Unfortunately you don’t get a lot of food for that amount of money. One burger and fries will not fill you up simple and plain.
Wendy’s, top of the Big 3 and their prices show it. While their burgers are marginally better than McDonald’s and Burger King, their fries are leaps and bounds ahead of the other two.
BurgerFi, they wish they were Five Guys. Their burgers are a decent imitation but their fries don’t come close, one place they did manage to copy near identically though was their prices. Their menu is a tad larger however.
D tier - Checkers, a checkers burger is like 80% grease. Despite that they have a pretty decent selection of burgers and their fries are rock solid.
McDonald’s, you know what you’re getting walking into a McDonald’s. Dirt cheap burgers in every sense of the word.
White Castle, I’m not really a fan of the slider. The ratio of bread to meat is way out of order.
D- tier - Burger King, there is literally nothing on their menu I like. And because of their flame broiled gimmick, you can taste how clean their broiler is in your burger. Not a good look.
Edit: added Checkers and White Castle
added Steak and Shake
My mom is a vegan, but I still love my BBQ so fuck that nonsense. But portabello burgers are fucking GODLY. Still not as good as meat though.
lol no, and you’re Canadian. Go to a fucking Harvey’s.
Wendy’s had really good fast food burgers, until they went the McDonald’s route, and made their grills into those fucking stupid press style grills. Instead of flipping a burger, and not squeezing all the juices out, and letting it cook in grease and juices for 5 minutes, they now squish the shit out of their EVEN SMALLER BURGERS in under 2 minutes, losing flavour.
We have the first Canadian Wendy’s in my city, and it still uses the old school grill, and it’s the only one I will still go to.
I like 5 guys as well, since they overload you with fries, and the potatoes come from nearby. Also because of Zoe Quinn, I now can relate them with whores.
if there is an option, for sure. But they’re surprisingly good. It doesn’t hurt that I fucking love mushrooms and add them to a lot of my meals. You gotta BBQ the portobello, with some BBQ sauces and shit, though
I live near Sacramento. There are two sushi burrito places located in the area (one in downtown, the other near my house), both of the same name. I’m not sure if there are any other sushi burrito places.
Also, mushrooms are fucking delicious. You’re cray.
