My Favorite Fast Food Burgers
Friday, November 25, 2005

I know that fast food hamburgers are not very healthy.  They're big, they're greasy, they're loaded with fat, calories, and cholesterol -- and they're also irresistible!  No matter what kind of diet I'm on and no matter how many times I swear off junk food, I always find myself drawn back to these burgers sooner or later.  There are plenty of fast food places to choose from, but some burgers definitely stand out above the rest in terms of taste.  These are my absolute favorites from some of the bigger national and regional fast food chains.

Double-Double from IN-N-OUT Burger
You don't have to live on the West Coast to know all about IN-N-OUT Burger.  This is a legendary chain that has become a pop culture icon in California, Arizona, and Nevada.  Whenever I travel to any of those states, I make sure that I stop at an IN-N-OUT for a Double-Double, which is a double cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onions, and cheese.  The taste is absolutely incredible, and I have to say that it's quite refreshing to see IN-N-OUT Burger keeping their menu very simple at a time when other fast food places can't seem to wait to expand their selections even beyond burgers and chicken.

The Whopper from Burger King
When I was growing up, Whoppers were billed as being flame broiled.  These days, Burger King calls it "fire-grilled".  I don't know if it's even the same process or not, but I do know that the result is the same.  The Whopper is definitely one of the tastiest fast food burgers around, and of course you can always "have it your way" by getting only the toppings that you want on it.

Sourdough Bacon Cheeseburger from Carl's Jr.
Carl's Jr. used to have some affiliation with Hardee's, or used to be Hardee's -- or something like that.  I could never keep the relationship straight.  Anyway, this chain, which currently has outlets only in the West, has terrific-tasting burgers all around.  But my favorite from Carl's Jr. are the cheeseburgers served on sourdough buns.  The sourdough makes all the difference in the world to me, and turns an ordinary cheeseburger into something unique and special.

Classic Single from Wendy's
The Wendy's fast food chain has a lot of items on their menu, but none are better than the Classic Single hamburger.  This masterpiece consists of a quarter-pound of beef and your choice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onions.  Much like Burger King, Wendy's burgers are made after you place your order, so they are always fresh, hot, and come with just the toppings you want.  I'm not sure what it is about Wendy's burgers that make them so tasty -- maybe it's the square patty!  Whatever their secret is, the Classic Single is one of my all-time favorites.

Well, that's my list of top fast food burgers in a nutshell.  The next time you are struck by a craving for a great hamburger, give one of these time-tested classics a try!
