In and Out Burger is the gold standard for any burger chain of size. They are my favorite. I didn't mention them on purpose (wrongly) because I was trying to point out the upstarts. But you are right, I should have at least mentioned where it all began. And where it continues to be executed at the highest levels. ..Lane Cardwell

You all need to try Five Guys. They are extremely comparable to In n Out and their fries are better (similarly hand cut). Also the price range is the same.

In-n-Out doesn't compare to Five Guys. I used to be In-n-Out's best patron until I moved to the east and tried Five Guys. Five Guys simply has better quality meat, bread, and their fries are waaaaay better. Don't get me wrong, I still love In-n-Out, but if they were side by side, I'd hit Five Guys anyday.

Have you guy’s stopped watching Oprah and dropped your GQ subscriptions? According to these two fine sources, Le Tub Saloon’s Sirloin Burger is the best. To Lane’s fine list I would add the Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay, 25 degrees at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, and Thomas Keller’s new place in Napa when it opens. As for my favorite burger it was Chili’s Oldtimer with Cheese, vintage 1979. It was a half pound of 100% fresh cow meat, cooked medium rare, seasoned, and topped with cheap American cheese, served on top of the holy quartet of burger condiments (chopped lettuce, chopped onions, slice tomato, pickle) on a toasted white bun spread with French’s mustard.

I agree with the comment about the Burger Bar at Mandalay Place. All meat is ground there and hand formed. But, try the Buffalo Burger. It has Waaaaay more flavor than beef ever could, with less fat and calories. And, none of the hormones or additives that today's beef has.
