9. In-n-Out
Everyone on the West coast knows what In-n-Out is all about. No, don’t think this is going to turn out to be an East or West thing. All of us fast foodies can get along. How can we not when we have highly processed cheese running through our veins? In-n-Out is one of those places where if you do live on the East coast, then you should make it out West at least once to try one of their burgers. In-n-Out offers up great value for the money, and they aren’t afraid to layer on the beef. Take our advice and get the Double-Double and prepare yourself for pure cheeseburger bliss. The Double-Double is two patties smothered in cheese and all the fixings. If there were ever a need to figure out how to travel at the speed of light, it would be to deliver In-n-Out to everyone all across the country. At the current speeds, it’s not possible to fly a cheeseburger anywhere without it getting cold. The main problem with flying burgers all over the country is, not everyone has a landing strip in their backyard. Oh well, it’s a novel idea to solve a problem that exists for far too many people.

The sad saga of long-lost love is so true for anyone who has traveled out West to fall in love with In-n-Out only to have their heartbroken.
8. Sonic
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Sonic has to be those two hilarious guys in their commercials. It never seems to fail that after all of these years those guys can still make everyone laugh. Have you ever wondered if those guys are friends in real life? Do they hang out at Sonic? If so, does Sonic give them free food? Those two guys don’t look like they’re eating a whole lot of free sonic food. if they were, you’d think they wouldn’t be so skinny. If you’re in bad need of a burger, it wouldn’t be a mistake to hit up your local Sonic. You will also find all kinds of drinks and sides to go along with your sandwich. Are you the type of person who skips the sides and goes straight for the main course? If so, then you can get yourself a burger and a hot dog. A burger enthusiast might balk at that idea, but they probably haven’t stuffed their mouth with one of Sonic’s delicious wieners. Another neat aspect of Sonic is that it’s a drive-in. You’ll feel like you’re caught in a space-time continuum while waiting for your order at Sonic. It’s nice to have someone bring your food out for you. It’s too bad they can’t dunk your fries in ketchup and also wipe your face with a napkin. If they could somehow figure out a way to move your jaws for you to cut down on the work required to chew, that too would be awesome. It looks like we’ll have to settle for people bringing food to us for now. Who knows, the future may have robots who chew the food up for us so all we have to do is swallow it. The future is a bright place and we all have artificial intelligence to thank for it.
7. Five Guys
Some say the reason why so many people go to Five Guys is because of their fresh-cut fries. Anyone who has been there more than once knows it’s all about the burgers.

Those who are courageous enough to think beyond their favorite place are introduced to a burger that will make your heart skip a beat. No, your heart isn’t skipping a beat because of the clogged artery caused from processed cheese; it’s because of the quality, flavor, and value that Five Guys serves up every day of the week.
6. White Castle
It’s all about the sliders at White Castle. You can’t walk out of the place without a sack of their sliders. The sliders at White Castle are the only reason you go there. Sure, their fries are great and all that. Unlike many other places that serve up burgers, it’s all about the sandwiches here. You can eat a ton of their sliders, and it doesn’t make you feel like a pig at all. Why is that? It’s because White Castle sliders are so tiny. You keep telling yourself these sandwiches are small, and that’s why you’re allowed to eat so many of them. There is a perfect balance of meat, cheese, onion, and bun in a White Castle slider. White Castle cooks its burgers differently, and that makes them taste unique. First off, the meat patties have holes in them, and it’s so the steam rises and cookies the beef evenly. The all-beef patties are cooked over a bed of dehydrated onions that also give the meat flavor. The buns are soft, slightly chewy, and are the perfect vessel to deliver all of the sandwich’s beefy goodness. You can’t eat one slider, and anyone who has ever attempted to do so has drastically failed. Get yourself a sack of sliders and an excuse as to why so many of them came up missing when you go home. It’s impossible not to inhale these little burgers on your way home.

They say good things come to those who wait and Steak ‘n Shake proves it every time a burger comes out of their kitchen. You’ll have to wait for your sandwich, but every minute it takes them to grill your beef patty to perfection is time well spent. Anyone who has ever had to wait for a burger while starving to death knows what temporary insanity feels like.
4. Carl’s Jr/Hardee’s

The Classic Single at Wendy’s is everything a burger should be. It’s big, beefy, and full of awesome flavor. There’s always a party in your mouth when you’re eating a Classic Single. You might be the type who loves their Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. If so, then you know how much flavor one of those juicy burgers packs.

Burger King lovers are a unique bunch who don’t seem to be freaked out by the King in their commercials. Doesn’t anyone find it odd that the King looks exactly the same with that scary expression on his face? The only thing that’s more surprising than the size of their Whoppers is that no one sees that creepy King guy in their nightmares.
