My favorite "fast food" chain for burgers is Sonic.

I like Sonic, too....esp. that Island Fire burger they did....wish they'd bring that one back...

Five Guys FTW

Meh. Went there once. It was OK. The "throw your peanut shells on the floor" kinda sounded cool when I heard about it, but when I got there, it just meant a nasty floor. I didn't have any peanuts, so I tossed a few fries and a bit of onion on the floor, just to fit in.

I wished I had gone to Cheeburger, Cheeburger. They have about a million toppings, and other good stuff on the side, and clean floors, too.

Sounds like a Fuddruckers.

I dimly remember one visit to Fuddruckers. You build your own at Fudd, right? At CC, they make it for you.

We have a place here called Burger Hut that is a build-to-suit joint and people just love the place but I've never been that enthralled with their offerings.

The local Carl's have gone to well-done as their default cooked setting for some reason and that ruins the burger.

We have an In-and-Out, it's not spectacular but for what you pay it's good.

Applebees has some interesting burger varients...but it's Applebees which thrives on serving up just okay food.

I can't think of any place here where if you asked me to name a place that has the bestest rockin' burger I'd be able to answer.

I haven't eaten at BK since the very early 90's. Where I was located it was standard for stores to use register receipt tapes with advertisements on the back. Some anti-gun lawyer gal threw a hissy fit because an ad for a gun store was on the back of her BK receipt, and Bk actually placed an ad apologizing to her in the local paper and stated that they had a corporate stance in favor of gun control.

I'll do without food if I'm with someone who insists on stopping at BK.

For "little balls of greasy heaven" I recommend to anyone who passes through Atlanta that they stop in at The Varsity on North Avenue. It's downtown and just off the Georgia Tech campus. Order a couple of chili cheese steaks (that's what they call the burgers there), some onion rings, a Coke, and extra onions (hand-diced and you get Vidalias when they're in season) to go on the burgers. The burgers, dogs, fries, and rings aren't the same since they stopped cooking them in honest-to-god grease (it is a pisser, ain't it grampster?) but they're still good eats.

Come to think of it, I haven't heard "What'll Ya Have!?" in a while...and Miss Priss is off work ~~tomorrow~~ today...she likes the food there too...I see a Varsity date for us in the very, very, near future.

Corporate gutlessness at its finest. Can't blame you for crossing them off your list.

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #58 on:** January 22, 2009, 12:37:05 AM »

I forgot how good some of the burgers are at Hardees/Carl's Jr. I seldom go there, due to the s. l. o. w. service. Ugh. But that 6 dollar burger is pretty kickin'.

As long as BK has been brought up, this link should be posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ12Ry-hD6I&feature=related

I've lost any want for BK since they came out with the creepy king...

Dick's Drive In Restaurant is pretty awesome, I keep meaning to go there next time I make it into Seattle.

I did not know that.....well, that scratches BK off my list....

If you do hit The Varsity in Atlanta, take cash and have a credit card handy.

I stopped there once and ended up driving right through, I can't remember which one I didn't have on me at the time but I didn't have the right one for sure. Pretty sure they want cash.

I enjoy burger king food. I do agree that the Creepy King is weird, but also funny. They came out with their own brand of burger scent spray.

I've heard that Hooters has good food too.

I wish this place was still around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJpDnjOpUbA

Every time I see one of those commercials for a "hot" burger, I think of one I made in my younger days. While working my way through school, I was a cook in an independent joint, and my wife was a waitress. One idiot friend of the owner's son got in the habit of messing with my lady.

I took offense at this, and finally had enough of it. He ordered a hamburger. I'm not sure how hot those critters get when sauteed in Tabasco, but from the reaction, it was pretty warm. I blamed it on contaminated meat.

The message was received, and the wife was bothered no more. Must have been too spicy for him.

Musta been some kind of wuss because Tabasco ain't all that hot.

Hooters food is not all that great. I've only been in one once so maybe that is too small of a sample.

Also I was expecting more cleavage...and slightly more attractive waitresses.

Gotta go to one where corn fed women live if you want to see more cleavage.

I suppose it might have been peppy. 1/2 a bottle with the liquid boiled off might have concentrated it some.

(He was a wuss, BTW)

For both good wings and eye candy there is a place called Wing Daddy's in El Paso that passes that test.

Mgdavis: I've always wanted to try Dick's but the wife refuses. One local favorite is Burgermaster. Good stuff, tho I usually go with a sandwich not a burger there.

MillCreek · « **Reply #71 on:** January 22, 2009, 08:51:14 PM »

Dick's in Seattle is a favorite of Bill Gates. I saw him there with my own two eyes several years ago at the Queen Anne location. Burgermaster is also good. A new chain location just opened close to me called Shake and Go. I have to go check it out.

I may have been thinking of Herfies, which I admit isn't the most appetizing name for a burger joint.

One of the guys I went to High School with had a Dick's t-shirt that had something along the lines of "I love Dick's" printed on the front.
