>>107428694Having lived in California for many years (and other places too) I can comfortably say this: In-N-Out is meh, just cheap burgers that have more cheese than burger; pretty overrated by Californians much like most of California,
which is an extension of my theory that because Californians mostly only live in California and have never left, they only know mediocrity their entire life and hold to a standard that it shouldn't be. Five Guys only redeeming quality is their fries and if you get them well done with the cajun spice. What-A-Burger has pretty good chicken sandwiches. If I'm looking at burgers within those price ranges, I think I'd rather just head someplace local, such as Hodad's.
Oh, and The Habit is a slightly pricier In-N-Out but much better quality.
