q: what is a good (fast food) burger? to me it is good beefy taste with enough fat and not too compressed, and a toasted roll w/ decent not mealy tomatoes for a side.

if shake shack opened in la some people would probably go once in a while
idk chick-fil-a in hollywood was pretty damned crowded when i went a few months ago. i think curious natives plus homesick transplants would mean a pretty brisk business at least at first

you can only really be homesick for shake shack if you moved to la pretty recently! but yeah I don't think it would go out of business or anything, but it wouldn't be ****an event**** in the same way.

nyc goes nuts over any chain restaurant that they don't have already, i.e. potbelly.

potbelly stinks

Speaking of which, Steak 'n Shake opens 1/12.

Voted Shake Shack: Have never been to In-n-Out and am vegetarian
― edb, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 23:28 (twelve years ago) link
of these, only been to the shake shack (had a milkshake in NYC and a burger & fries in DC) but voted in-n-out
I like Nifty-Fifty's but when it comes to Del-Val local places I will forever rep for The Charcoal Pit

best bet for the aforementioned LAX in-n-out location is to take some time to hang outside and watch the plans fly in about 100 ft overhead. the burgers at in-n-out are great (also: pie and burger in pasadena has virtually the same burger and might be a little better, but it's not fast food, really) i used to like fatburger but i lost the taste for it. the umami burger fellas are in the process of trying to do a counter service type of chain for their brand, which will be interesting to see (though umami is also overrated, moreso than in-n-out.)

or not really.

i voted shake shack even though i haven't had it in like 5 years. in-n-out is good, but shake shack is next level.
and we have five guys here now, in a few locations.

i went to one of those ages ago in florida...last time i was there it was closed though. it was pretty ok. good milkshake iirc.

24-hour in-n-out sounds like something that happens in silence of the lambs, how could anyone eat there?

just spent the week in Cali and i would like to restate my unpopular position that no matter how good In-N-Out's burgers and shakes are they get the gasface for those shitty french fries
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Wednesday, 28 December 2011 04:42 (twelve years ago) link
i think a lot of people agree with you re the fries.
they're better if you order them "well done."
― trudy campbell, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 05:53 (twelve years ago) link
i worked for three years right next to the LAX In-N-Out and it was always insanely busy, planes overhead every two minutes...
