There is always a debate Five Guys vs In-N-Out, I say the latter wins. One thing about the fries, you need to eat them immediately. They literally slice the potatoes into the oil and if they sit too long they get soggy, but right out of the fryer, they are da bomb!
I pretty much agree. Liked In-n-Out over Five Guys, definitely. Five Guys got overhyped for me before I tried it, and I think that made it underwhelming when I actually went there. In-n-Out had good burgers, but I guess we haven't eaten the fries fast enough because they've always been a "meh".
However Roscoe's is one of the quintessential LA dining experiences. It could be awarded one of Cap'n O's Homer awards for unpretentious dining.
If/when we get back to L.A., I definitely want to try Roscoe's! I love chicken & waffles. Love salty & sweet together.
The only (and very much last) time I went to 5 Guys there was a big, long hair in my burger. It went in the trash. And I never went back.
Gross.
Now Shake Shack? THAT is the bomb.
We just had a Shake Shack open here in Delaware and I tried it for the first time recently. That was really good!
Shake Shack > In-N-Out > Five Guys.
Only thing I didn't like was the price. Manhattan prices in Delaware make it difficult to go very often.
