  • The sad thing about these places is the consistency. I bet you could do this challenge a few more times and have significantly different results. Thank you both for braving it.
  • As a non American, its crazy to me, how many different fastfood stops there are.
  • @TheWardenJK
    The Culver’s burger hurts my soul. I used to work at Culver’s on grill for about 5 years during the end of my high school and college years. But I took some serious pride in what I cooked and I honestly miss that job sometimes. But seeing the burger hurts me, I wish I could’ve made them myself for you 😂

    I was so happy to see Steak N Shake snatch the no. 1 spot at the eleventh hour like that. I have loved Steak N Shake for a long time and what's more, they're actually not doing very well these days, so I hope this video helps spread the word that Steak N Shake is worth going back to.
  • @Bittler87
    That Five Guy’s take of, “…the mushrooms bring this down,” is wild considering that you choose your own toppings.
  • @TimeBucks
    I'm surprised by how Culver's went
  • @juanmaraia183
    Five guys under Wendy’s and Burger king is a Criminal Offense.
  • They should have done a Quarter Pounder from McD's. Since they changed it from frozen to fresh meat it's WAY better than a Big Mac!!
  • Josh says he doesn’t remember the baconator tasting that good but it’s also the first time he ate a fast food burger that wasn’t 3 hours old and at room temperature 😂😂😂
  • I’m surprised A&W wasn’t on this list. They have like 600 locations across the US, and is the oldest restaurant chain. Would have been interested to hear your opinion compared to some of the others.
  • @GyariSan-kj8lr
    You guys should try Cook Out. Granted it's a Southern chain, but their burgers are genuinely good. Long as you go there around opening hours to 3pm, cause even I'll admit their service at some of their locations tends to take a dive around 4pm to 5pm. And getting them at late night can be nightmare given how long the lines will inevitably be.
  • @joychaplin2703
    Putting Burger King above Five Guys is absolute treason.
  • @itsnooya8862
    As someone who flipped burgers at Steak n’ Shake for a good 6 months, I have this weird feeling of pride that it was the best. It certainly is to me. We take refrigerated meat pucks and slam it on to the griddle with the spatula, give it a special seasoning, cheese it, and slide it on a toasted bun. So good.
  • @andrewmobus4612
    To be fair for McDonald’s, everyone tries the Big Mac because it’s the most popular, but the quarter pounder is a better burger to put against the rest of these places… Wendy’s is my favorite and I don’t have the top 3 in my state, so I’m happy with where it landed in the rankings.
  • @overdrive7349
    One of the best burgers I've ever had was the A-Wonderful from Mooyah Burgers. Perfectly seasoned, the buns was soft, the patties were tender, just a great experience.
  • @RoseScent21
    Love you guys together, working off of each other and communicating!
  • @JLJL0508
    Feels like there wasn't a strict guideline for picking the burgers from each place. Some ordered single patty, some ordered double, never been to white castle but ordered the most basic slider instead of other options, etc. It was interesting to see so many places in one video though!
  • @ElijsDima
    I can totally see a few followup videos in this series, e.g. tacos, pizzas, fishburgers, chicken sandies, waffles...
  • @jameswampler4073
    I agree..loved SteakNShake when I lived in Indy, was so stocked when they opened in the Houston area but none of them lasted. The one near me I ate at often but it was slow and poorly ran. Knew it wasn't going to last.
  • As a Nebraskan, you need to hit up a Runza burger! They are absolutely phenomenal
