That list is wrong.
What does a Gata know about cooked food?
It's so rare to get a good burger over here in the UK that all of the ones in the OP look pretty amazing. Having said that, Red's True BBQ in Leeds does probably the best burger I've ever had: The Pit Burger.
Two quarter pound burgers with sliced brisket, pulled pork, jack cheese, pickle salad, american mustard and dirty sauce. All on a glazed bun with an onion ring on top. So good... *drool*
That looks good. I've been there before with some friends when visiting Leeds, but I was kinda short on cash so I didn't get that, but it looks like something I would get if I had a bit more money. I'll have to keep that in mind for next time, but you're right, it's hard to get a good quality burger like that in the UK.
Inspired by this thread, my wife and I made burgers today.
Local, grass-fed beef, mushrooms and onions sauteed in an aged balsamic reduction and then worked into the meat, buns baked hours ago at a local bakery, thick slice of extra sharp cheddar, pickles, cucumbers, sprouts, lettuce, and a touch of mayo.
Yeah, they were awesome...

I went to CIP once and thought that it was pretty great.
I wanted to go back but by the time I got around to it, it was out of business. =(
I think the quality control problems at Five Guys must be real, because the one that I go to has great burgers and ingredients. In N Out no matter where the location is always good, although sometimes the patty is a bit too salty. The best Five Guys burger I have had was better than the best In N Out burger.
Five Guys is double the price though, so you have to make sure to throw a bunch of toppings on it to make up for the price, otherwise, a Double-Double from In N Out is a better burger.
I have only been to the Five Guys in Carson, CA, but every time I have gone there it was really good.
I also hate Mayo, thousand island or any type of mayo concoction, so if people really love Animal Style burgers at In N Out, then I can understand why they like it more. Animal Style is gross to me though, I get Ketchup/Mustard instead of their sauce and enjoy that mightily.

So happy a New Mexico Green Chile Burger made it into the top ten. I miss those.

The price for Five Guys in the bay area you're better off going to a local burger joint for fries and or the burger. I tried both in the same day. The Five Guys was really disappointing. No animal style on anything on the In N Out either but it was cheap, fast and easy to down. I'm not even a huge fan of In N Out, I just like that it's open till 1:30 on weekends. The Five Guys had barely anyone in it but what's the point when Red Onion is the same price, down a couple businesses and totally superior. What a joke. That Red Onion (local establishment) seriously has nothing to worry about from that shit ass chain.
I can understand this, I have the same viewpoint when it comes to Deli sandwiches. Why go to a Chain sub place when I can go to any number of awesome local deli's and get a better sub at the same price or just slightly more expensive.

It really annoys me that people from overseas always tries to work in some American hate in every thread. With that said it is quite obvious these people who bitch about American cheese have never had a good American cheese, there is plenty out there and i can guarantee most of these burger joints will use a quality American cheese not a cheap one you would find at your local grocer. Also, long live premium burgers especially ones fresh off the grill in your backyard!!
EDIT: I do loves me some sharp cheddar though on my burgers but not Swiss cheese.

They think Kraft is all we have. There are so many great local cheeses, beers, liquor, etc.

Listen up, Peasant-GAF: a burger being cheaper does not somehow make it better than it is.
I don't know what to tell you Californians in love with your own mythology, but I approached both with an open heart, and there is a gulf in quality between In-N-Out and my Five Guys back east. Of course East Coast food is better overall so maybe the location of your Five Guys franchises is making them bad.
I feel like the Marquis de Sade after I eat at Five Guys.

Are there any In-N-Outs on the east coast?

All I know is the East Coast can take that shit fucking back. Replace that establishment with something else.

No one that matters I mean. (People that matter know what's up with burgers)Must not have read through the thread.

Nope, keeping it in California, and now in Arizona, Nevada, and Texas allows them to do real quality control of their ingredients. Though they originally said they would never expand outside of Cali and look they are in 3 additional states (maybe even more, I'm not up on my In-N-Out expansion news).
Some high level bullshit going on in this post. When you are comparing fast food chain burgers, price is definitely a factor.
As for East Coast having better food overall, that is nearly impossible to judge and pretty stupid to say.
If I want a burger to give me a transcendental experience, then I'll cook it in my backyard or go to a serious burger joint and throw some real money down.

That's because every In-N-Out's ingredients come from the same place. In-N-Out doesn't reach nearly as far as Five Guys, but that allows the company to send fresh ingredients to each store by truck daily.

Get on my level. And share a little of that salt, these In-N-Out fries are terribly bland.

Price wise you are seriously better off going to Red Onion, Barney's, Nation's, etc in the Bay Area.
My sister is up there going to school, but I don't visit as much as I like, next time I do, I'll ask her to take me to one of these.

If she's in Berkeley go to Barney's, Bongo, or Al's.
If you're willing to trek farther try out Five Guys in Pinole for shits and giggles then head over to the Red Onion and see the difference in quality.

That's it, I'm going to Louis’ Lunch next time I visit my family in CT. That place has been showing up all over the place and it's worn me down. With that said, I saw the steamed burger from the other CT place on Burger Land and it looked nasty. The meat was grey and the cheese looked like snot. No thanks.
Recently I went to the The Golden State in L.A. and that was incredible. It's within walking distance from me so I'll be going back. It's worth checking out if you are in the area.

Have you been to the Pork Belly Grub Shack near the basketball arena?

Their Pork Belly Fries are also pretty good.

There's a Red Onion in town here that I never got a chance to visit where an old Bud's Burgers used to be. Never did visit it yet, I guess I should try it.

Actually the best burger I ever had was when I was in SF for Google I/O this year. Across from Moscone there was this restaurant, can't remember the name (Edit- Buckhorn Grill apparently?) and it had the best-tasting, juiciest burger I've ever had. It almost tasted like a steak.
It was absolute pure heaven in my mouth.
I got it for lunch then came back and got it for dinner before I had to leave the next day.

If it's anything like the one in Pinole I'd highly recommend it. Although, when restaurants expand I always worry about quality + consistency at the new establishment especially.

One of the few upsides of living where I do is that I have an In N' Out being built within ten minutes of my house.
With a Five guys within walking distance as well.
Dude, you ate the Double Coronary?

"American Cheese" is a specific thing, not just cheese that comes from America. It's processed cheese product and is not at all actually cheese.
