I guess we'll try it anyway, but it's going to have to be a heck of a fast food burger to be worth that.

I'm honestly surprised people will pay this much. In California, you can go to Carrows and get 2 for $20 complete prime rib meals (soup or salad, prime rib with potato & veggies, chocolate cake). Seems like a better deal, no?
Five Guys burgers are much larger than In-N-Out. The fries are also a huge portion. I get the middle size, and share between two people.

In-N-Out is fine, but I much prefer Five Guys. Give it a shot.
