I was at the Summit today, and though I didn't get to eat there, the smell of the food nearly killed me. It was heavenly. Can't wait to get out there.

Finally-- I thought they'd never open! I go to school in Nashville most of the time and I eat at the 5 guys there and I think the hamburgers are decent.

Well worth the visit, ask for them to keep the fries down an extra minute for extra crispy fries!

Am I crazy? I was in San Francisco earlier in the summer, and had my first In n' Out. I . . . was . . . not . . . impressed.

Now, it was a small, drive through version in a suburby area - perhaps I would do better at more urban In n' Outs? I feel like I'm the only person on the planet that doesn't care for them.

I've tried In'n'Out now and then, around Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and the North Bay, and I have to express similar bemusement. It's not bad, and certainly a far superior experience to Mickey D's. But I couldn't rate it close to WW Cousin's or even Red Robin. I think maybe it's something like Coor's beer used to be when you couldn't get it in the East and people used to smuggle it home on trips.

I like In N Out. I don't love it, I don't crave it, I don't miss it... I'm going to California in a few weeks, and the only thing on my list of "must eat food" is a California burrito (carne asade, french fries, rice, guacamole and sour cream [it's quite healthy]).

An animal style In N Out burger (on a beautiful San Diego day) is enjoyable. The fries are mediocre, the milkshakes good and the price is excellent. I'm not a fan of WW Cousin's or Red Robin.

I'm looking forward to Five Guys and had I known it as open would have gone there for lunch. I like the cajun fries and any place they serve a good, fast burger is a welcome addition.

I'm also really looking forward to trying Bunz.

Also... Whataburger is also pretty good. My dad is a huge fan, and we always stop there on road trips (Dallas-Austin for Thanksgiving). They had an A-1 burger that was above average, they have good fries, my chief complaint is the "Fancy Ketchup" that just isn't that great.

My personalized rankings would be:

Overall:
1. Five Guys
2. In N Out
3. Whataburger

Burger:
1. In N Out
2. Five Guys
3. Whataburger

Road Trip Stop
1. Whataburger
2. In N Out
3. Five Guys

That's funny..I grew up with What-a-burger and liked them, but prefer In N Out.
