People take their favorite burger chains very seriously. In-N-Out, Shake Shack, Culver’s, Whataburger. Everyone has a pick, and nobody backs down.
So I decided to do something slightly unhinged.
In this video, I break down what each of these regional fast food giants actually does well, from patties and buns to sauces and toppings. Then I take the best parts of each one and combine them into a single, ridiculous creation to answer one question:
What would the ultimate fast food burger actually taste like?
This is part taste test, part experiment, and part burger identity crisis. If you’ve ever argued about which chain is best or just want to build a better burger at home, this one’s for you.
