The best burger is home made, lean meat, no salt, only natural ingredients.
Fast food might taste good, but it's designed to make you crave more.
Each to their own, I'm make mine.
Enjoy.

Great question, F-man.

For me, in the States, Chili's served my favorite burgers.聽 Haven't been to the one here yet so can't comment on it.

However, I DID have an incredible burger at the 4-Seasons.聽 What I paid was ungodly for a burger but .. sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

Doesn't matter how healthy we normally are in our household with our eating habits - every now and again we just CAN'T drive past a McDonald's!聽 Shame, I know but I feel so much better with this confession

I really don't know as everytime I go somewhere the burger is different.

Fuddruckers. It's sometimes good, sometimes dry as hell.
Johnny Rockets. Same.

And those are the only "restaurant" type places I've tried'em. As far as true fast food, I kind of enjoy the Portobello Melt burger from Hardees (it's not your typical burger and is loaded with shrooms and onions). And I actually did go to a fast food place called "Penguin," it's located at "Siteen St".

I was at the Hilton in Jeddah the other day and I went to the restaurant. They had burgers for 60SAR. I was gonna go for it but when the guy told me there was a 1hr waiting period (cause only 1 employee was working and he was the cook and the waiter) I left. So dunno if it would've been as great as Alliecat's,

I do know the best steak is at the Outback (Rib Eye)

don't worry sparrow, they don't use penguin meat its just the name of the burger shop with a picture of a penguin on it. Nice tasty beefy burgers, better than any others i've tried round here.

There used to be an era when we only had Holiday Greeting Cards during December. Never saw the word Xmas printed in any of them. Nice to see the sands coming out of the cold.

Lol! nope.. I heard disturbing comments on how fast food beef is processed. .. yeah ...

anyway.
Fud"whatchamacallit" is a cool place. but a little expensive to be a daily target. at least for me.

how about we try it sometime? with the clubbers.
