If you took 100 people who hadn't been to either before Five Guys burgers would win by a large margin.

Half Cost = Lower quality
Half Wait = Precooked

You forgot the disclaimer that these 100 people wouldn't have taste buds

How is "the counter"? There is one in Times Square so I'm assuming it's horrible

5 Guys has been hit or miss in my experience. When it's good it's clearly the best fast food burger available but when it's bad it's nearly inedible. In-N-Out never reaches the highs that 5 guys can, but In-N-Out is consistently decent. Overall I think In-N-Out is an above-average, but not spectacular, fast food burger. It's very possible that the fact that In-N-out is so over-hyped it turned me off a bit when I finally had it, i'd say it's on par with Wendy's. If I had to pick one or the other for the rest of my life it would be 5 Guys, I like to gamble.

Yup, the two near me are about 3 miles apart. Problem is you need 2 people because 5g takes half-hour to get.

I have had one bad 5G burger, so it is possible. But I tend to give it a pass because it was at a location near the beach that stays open til 3am on weekends, and I was there at about 2am getting a burger. Place was jam packed full of obnoxious drunks, of course. Patties got overcooked, very unpleasant gristle-like texture in a lot of bites.

Had a good bare CFA chicken biscuit this morning, delicious as always, $2.37 with tax. It was around 7 am, and I noticed 3 cop cars in the parking lot. Now that's an endorsement. Keep your donuts, Johnny Law knows what's up.

If it is mushed they can add fillers, like vegetable oil, to make it cheaper.

I'm guessing it is something closer to this than something you would make at home.

Fiery chicken fries from BK are not fierce. A mildy spice after taste at best that lingers a bit in your mouth.

Had another Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich - the crunch it has barely pushes it past cfa

Nuggets though CFA >>>>>>> Wendy's

Tried PDQ. Phenomenal. Everything was really good, but the honey mustard was only decent. Other sauces I tried (creamy garlic, sweet sriracha, chipotle BBQ) were all very good. Also tried my first Cheerwine. I'm not a soda drinker, and I don't like cherry flavored stuff for the most part...but I liked this. I'm just happy there isn't a convenient location for me because this place is serious trouble.

Speaking of serious trouble at PDQ, some hobo was walking by and threw a huge rock through one of the doors smashing tons of glass...so I got a free show too.

Good thing you caught the show at PDQ. Had you been at LJS, the rock would have almost certainly ignited an uncontrollable fire.

Had the three new grillers at TB tonight. I liked the flavor in each, and the ghost pepper actually had a decent kick to it. Just wish there was more sauce throughout.

the proper play at taco bell may be to ask for side of ghost pepper sauce when you order things.

also a side of their avocado ranch is really good. they only charge like 19cents for it too i think

Each of my grillers had a substantial amount of nacho cheese. Anyone else notice this or do I just run good?

Im finding the Quesarito to be oozing with cheese. Maybe TB has decided to be generous with their (cheaper) artificial cheese portions as a policy, rather than spend the big bucks on the (real) shredded.

Anyway, it's very tasty esp without sour cream, but horrible value at $4 CAD tough.
