      Twenty years ago I lived across the street from Dick’s on Broadway. So many late nights ended with stumbling a few yards for a greasy bag of Dick’s. Interestingly enough, my former residence is now the Capitol Hill light rail station. But thank the good lord Dick’s is still there.

    I don’t remember the last time I had a fast food burger. And I would like to keep it that way. Thank you.

    The kebab shop down the road makes burgers too and they’re better than everything I’ve had from one of the large chains while still distinctly feeling like junk food.

    West coast dude that has visited all over the US. I’ve had BK/McD’s, Whataburger, Jack in the box, In-N-Out, Carl’s Jr, Smashburger, Sonic, Shake Shack, White Castle, Five Guys, A&W, and maybe a couple more I’ve forgotten. Best for me, hands down:

    Culver’s butter burger with cheese and everything on it.

    Five Guys is the only one I would be okay with. McDonalds is probably the worse, followed by wendys being 2nd worst. BurgerKing is… um… its like good for like your first try, then subsequent times it taste worse and worse each time you got there.

    I don’t eat a lot of burgers so I probably don’t know what a “good” burger taste like, I grew up in an Asian household so I don’t exactly eat a lot of “western” food for the most of my life (like… relatively speaking, in comparison to the rest of the US).

    Double teen burger from A&W.

    Has enough meat with the double patty, and has all the toppings like onion, pickle, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, etc.

      You have to specify A&W Canada. The US doesn’t have Teen burgers and they’re generally inferior.

    None of them? I find it’s worth the extra $2 to go somewhere local or “fast casual”. Places like McDonalds , Wendy’s, and Burger King are overpriced garbage these days.

      Also it doesn’t take much longer to make a burger at home. I get that cleanup can take some time, and a lot of folks are averse to deep frying at home. But if I want a burger and fries, nine times out of ten I’m going to make it myself.

      I’m also a line cook so I probably enjoy cooking more than most folks

    Best I’ve cooked: Oklahoma onion burgers

    Best I’ve bought: green chilli burger from Meat Liquor Covent Garden though sadly they don’t seem to have that location any more and the green chilli burger is no longer on their menu!
