Favorite fast food hamburger, Whataburger.
Don't know if you have this chain, but it's been around a long time. It's the onions, chopped and grilled that makes it so good. Onions can make or break a good burger. I won't buy a burger anywhere else.

The best burger I ever ate came from a flightline cafeteria in my military days. They were grilled to perfection and I have never had as good a burger since. Anyone have a burger story of their own to share? I'm always looking for the better burger, grease, fat and all as long as it is tasty with great onions.

2. whataburger is good, but in-n-out is better
double double animal style is where it's at. Animal style has grilled onions - it's the best fast food burger ever. I also really like white castle, but sliders are a different story all together. White castle fries their burgers in french onion soup - gooey oniony goodness.

3. I love Whataburger
However, I haven't been to Texas for several years now, so I've gone without. I was just in Orlando, and didn't discover the Whataburgers there until it was too late.

Fatburger makes a damn good one too, however, and we have one right here in town.

6. mmmmm, b.u.r.g.e.r.s.
favourites of mine which are Canadian specific are A&W and Salisbury house.

teenburgers and supernips with cheese (and fried onions).
Both have slimmed down and got a bit smaller over the years, but burger heaven lies in the Norte.

7. If people could see how fast food burgers were made they wouldn't
eat them. I worked as a temp in a macdonalds burger processing plant, they were being truthful anout them being all beef patties, because they used everything but the hide and hoof. As long as it was a cow part they used it, I haven't ate one since. I can't.

12. Bah, no point in being squeamish.
I don't worry at all about these supposedly "gross" things social mores say we're supposed to revile at. Food ain't always pretty, but if it ain't killed me yet, there's no reason to quit putting it in my mouth.

11. I can't eat Whataburger.
Something about them makes me vomit every single time I eat one.

I love Sonic, though.



Damn, now I want Sonic and it's all the way on the other side of Columbus. :(

14. Ewwwwwwww
Whataburger's gross and it's owned by right wing fundies.

Fatburger is the best, closely followed by In n Out (which, granted, does print Bible verses on the bottoms of their cups but the food is awesome and they're not obnoxious about it).
