"1. EVERY city has better burger places than In N Out. i like Balls' hamburgers in dallas for my "every city has better burger places" but i know that even dallas people have places they like better."

Every city, without fail, has a burger better than that? Care to back up that premise? Have you eaten burgers at each and every city in America? If so, that's a lot of burgers. If not, upon what do you base this premise? Please provide the data.

"2. focusing on chain burger places to be somewhat fair to In N Out - whataburger is multiple times better than In N Out which i personally find average at best."

Multiple times better? Somehow I doubt you know what to order at In N Out. Whataburger is a good burger, but I don't think its as good. Most people who aren't impressed with In N Out just don't know what to order. I'm not about to help them out either as it'd lead to me having to wait longer.

"3. DQ is multpile times better than In N Out but not quite as good as whataburger. *** IMPORTANT *** brazier runs a lot of the DQ franchises and they SUCK. it's not the same as the texas DQ locations. if you see double cheeseburger on the menu, RUN. i don't know if it's the sole indicator, but only order DQ if you see hungerbusters, beltbusters, etc on the menu. that's another reason why i like whatburger - never had a bad one. i know that DQ in So Cal for example tastes like a bad mcdonald's burger. i have no idea why there is such a sharp contrast, but BH should rip the franchises from brazier."

I love my Dairy Queen don't get me wrong, but you have to be ****ing kidding me if you think that DQ is better. They have good burgers and I'm particularly fond of the Flamethrower, but it's nowhere near as good. I actively seek out In N Out burgers when I'm in that part of the country.

"4. i would put wendys above In N Out, too. i don't hate In N Out, but the bang-to-hype ratio is severely out of whack. chances are if i end up at wendys or In N Out it's b/c i don't have any other choices."

Wendy's is meh. They make their burgers with good quality, but I'm always bored by them for some reason. The side dishes can be good, but their burgers just aren't that great. I'd go for a whopper over a Wendy's burger any day.

"5. chik fil a gets my vote over all of these places. Catman and others have extolled the greatness of the original chicken sandwich, but i can't post without mentioning what is by far the best fast food i know. i almost like the fact that there are few chik fil a locations here b/c i enjoy it that much more; however, there's one near my school (where i teach) and near the airport (where i spend too much time), so i get plenty of chik fil a."

Never had it but I'll have to try. You do know that we're talking about burger places here and a chicken sandwich is not a burger.
