in the burger wars, even the Russian turned in a solid 9.

Stopped in yesterday, first time. WhatABurger is now in second place, by a pretty fair margin. Got the XXL, one pound of humanely killed cow, (wonder how the cow votes on this?) grilled to perfection, hanging out all the way around the bun. Not too greasy, no lettuce or onions, (vile little things, who EATS those raw? Gack) and no fries. Just a monster burger. Perfection.

Think I paid 13 bucks with my drink. A tad expensive, but there WAS a pound of cow there.

Bobby, this is MY colon we are talking about here, the Kimbo Slice of colons. Pfffft. A pound, that's just a SNACK for ol' scooter. Shit, I make 2 trips minimum to the salad bar at the Petro, before I completely trash the buffet.

Fatburger rules. All 5 of the Five Guys suck. That's all.

Shit, I have a Fatburger about a 5 min walk from my house, and I never go there. In n Out is another 3 minutes further so that is where I end up.

5 Guys is NOT worth the coin, IMHO.

Whoa big man! You can not just relegate the all mighty Whataburger to 2nd place that easily. The goodness of the mustard and onions with a few dollops of jalapeños for good measure thrown in.

I haven't tried a Fatburger yet, so I can't comment on that one. 5 Guys is stupid expensive though.

We do have a Smashburger here in the Dammam,KSA airport. I had it last week flying out. Way better than anything else around.

And I chased it down with a nice Double Double from Tim Hortons, no Timbits though, I'm trying to watch the waist line not grow too much.

Alright, I have to admit, I'm not understanding the Whataburger deal. Ive seen it on here enough now that its not an isolated incident. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but I guess I don't understand them being on the same level as Fatburger, In N Out. To me, more on the level of Carls Jr, Burger King. Only thing I can come up with is that Ive been around them my entire life and maybe eat there once a year if not every couple of years.

Sorry Crash, I already had it choked down, before I thought of doing the review. Trust me, it was picture worthy, for sure, would have been a Picasso.

It was not without due consideration for the mighty WhatABurger tastiness, but setting any bias aside, the Fattie won, hands down. It was THAT good. Not like I won't eat a WhatABurger again, just going to be like bangin' the fat chick behind the bleachers, not the Head Cheerleader. On the hood of your car, at noon, on Friday.

It's okay, we don't have anything in Bama, except Milo's the nasty burger in the USA!

I only know of two Fatburgers around here in the east bay. One is inside a Chevron gas station, and the other one went out of business. Sounds like a great place.....

Is that a house burger? Why not sandwich bread?

That's just one variation. When the home grown maters are coming in, you got to go big. This is a serious burger thread kzizok. McDonalds is in the the other thread. The way less than serious burger thread. Funny vid though.

I freaking love burgers. Fat Burger and 5 Guys are awesome, we have both here in Calgary. When I head'r down to 'Merica I'm all over In'n'Out when I can find one. I'm also a big fan of Harvey's up here in Canada. I BBQ'd this beast up a while back, double home-made hand packed patties(my own blend of herbs etc), double grated cheddar, double bacon, fresh jalapanos, tomato, sliced dill pickles and fixins, it was amazing.

Love me some fresh home grown 'maters. One of the fire stations I worked at had a tomato garden. We use to make the burgers as big as the tomatoe slices. Sore bought tomatoes have tasted like shit since then.

1st time I went, Fatburger is the only place the cashier offered to take her break and eat with me. About 3 AM.

She was from Latvia and barely spoke English with this sexy accent. She got off at 5 AM and we boinked till like 10 AM

In n Out at the time 2006-2007 beef was nothing but fat grisle and salt and a case of the shits. Never been back since.
Too afraid since it was twice in a month that place got me sick (2 locations), and they are kinda plain jane burgers anyway.

5 guys.....meh. OK but didnt get sick so thats good.
