Not sure which 5 guys you went to, but the one I went to down in Ft Lauderdale was the greasiest, most delicious burger I've ever had.
here in NY there are laws as to the temperature a burger must be cooked to for fast foods .. 5 guys to meet that requirement literally press and squeeze every drop of juice out of them so they are well done and pretty dry ...I like mine juicy and dripping like Mr. Clean ..next time i go I'll take pictures of the grill ... even Wendy's on a good day will be better ... Fudrucker's is about 25 miles for me but still is worth the drive

I've had the 5 Guys as well and its very good!
Really In & Out is a good burger but hardly a gourmet burger at any length...As I posted in the start, they work from the same premises as Mc D's started out as.
Very simple menu all fresh made ingredients made on site, no happy kiddie meals, prizes, etc!
I've eaten at In-N-Out burger for years. Much of my business travel was to the west coast and I spent a lot of time in Vegas as well. I found the talk surrounding their food had an almost mythical quality to it. I've also heard this same kind of talk when people discuss Krispy Creme donuts. Many of the people that I would travel with had never experienced the In-N-Out burgers and just had to try them when we went to lunch. When attending Comdex this was something that was a must for they guys in our group.
I can honestly say that I never found INO to be anything special. They've recently expanded their chain in to Utah. I think they put in 3 new restaurants. I once again tried one of their burgers just to see if my perception had changed. Don't get me wrong I can eat their burger but I would put them in the same category as Wendy's. I wouldn't look too far to get one. I do like a White Castle mini burger now and then. We don't have their restaurants locally and I would drive a few miles to get a half dozen of these burgers. We have a regional chain located here in Utah that is called Crown Burger/Burger Supreme (2 brothers split the business), they make a great hamburger and is one I would recommend a burger lover try should the opportunity arise.

When Fuddrucker's started out, there was a walk-in cooler with sides of beef hanging right as you walked in. As I understood it at the time they used all parts of the beef, even the "prime" cuts to make their burgers. It was a very good burger throughout the 80s. We have one close, but we rarely eat there. They are now serving buffalo burgers and I should give that a try.

Three places from California I miss are Carl's Jr. (upgraded Burger King), Tommy's and Fat Burger ... The Fat Burgers also varied from place to place probably like Fudruckers .. and now that Mr. Clean mentioned it I don't remember seeing the fresh meat hanging anymore
GH you are so right about Krispy Creme! The hub-bub surrounding them was enormous when they opened a store in Arlington, TX. One of my co-workers at the time lived in Arlington and brought some into the office. They were good, but so were Southern Maid.
COMDEX What a zoo! I don't recall the exact year, but was among the masses the year all attendance records were broken. I don't recall the numbers but it was reported there were more than 200,000 folks. Some of the halls were literally a sea of humanity. Never knew of the existence of the In-N-Out burger at the time or I would have tried it back then.

Carl's Jr. is certainly worth mentioning. We got this chain into Utah about 7 or 8 years ago. They have a good burger. And you guys are right, Fudruckers seems to have lost some of its shine over the years.

Dirty Burgers - make them yourself. Place a bunch of hamburger in a big bowl and load it with ketchup (key ingredient), tad bit of your prefered BBQ sauce, seasoning of your choice and throw in cheese chunks of your choice. Should be of consistencey were it almost wants to fall apart. Don't over flip or they'll fall apart.
Very good the ketchup keeps them from drying out on the grill.

Ketchup or catsup however you choose to spell it, shall not...shall not touch thy burger! Got to have mustard you know.
But speaking of Dirty Burger, that reminded me of another burger chain which came to Texas, Krystal burger. They are similar in size to the White Castle burger, at least what we see here in the frozen food section...small. A girl on another forum called them dirty burgers as that is how they referred to them back in the high school/college days back in TN.
