Best Burger: The Habit

Stradling?

[HaloMagic]

Good to see that the places people like the least get the most business. Free market at its best.

[mtangelsfan]

What people say and what they do are often times very different.

[gotbeer]

I wouldn't consider the Habit fast food.  And I was unimpressed with Chipotle.  Thought it was expensive average food.  And Jersey Mike's used to be better, but they have become more corporate/smaller portions.

Obviously it bothers me. I do like the Habit but I don't agree it's better. I see all of these and they are all graded differently. The way these usually go is INO grades highest in the industry in every category except for one, variety of menu. I am sure everyone from INO that reads this won't be happy we got second, we will be upset that we've slipped to second.

Now if you had donut holes, you would have won variety of menu.

Five Guys is right on your tail, too. Maybe it's time to add that bacon you keep scoffing at.

Unless you guys are aiming for second...

Cute. Bacon won't happen as delicious as it would be, it's just not going to happen.

is there a problem with pork?

[Stradling]

I love pork, but if you've ever seen me you would assume that.

Portillo's is delish

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Chipotle is the most overrated and overpriced .

Not a big fan of the Habit either. It's good, but you have to eat it right away. Once it cools down, it taste like Burger King.

Portillo's Italian Beef sandwich with hot peppers rocks! Glad they opened one in buena park it was close to my old work.

IMO the best chicken is Zankou but I admit I haven't tried Chick-fil-A.

[Amazing Larry]

It's all about the wood pulp burgers.

They're building a Habit a half mile from my house

I didn't realize Valvoline and Clorox made burritos.

[Homebrewer]

Gawd I wish I could go get an Italian Beef with both types peppers right now..

[Schildog]

East coast bias from consumer repott

[nate]

Not a fan of The Habit but I only ever ate at the one in Pasadena so maybe it just wasn't the best franchise.  I agree on the rest, though when you eat Chik-Fil-A you are consuming hate.

El Pollo Loco has really stepped up their game in recent years IMHO.

 

Depends on the location though.  Some are much better than others. 

[fan_since79]

No love for Del Taco?

 

I've never been sick there, not once.

Yep. Their food is quite tasty. Unfortunately, they change their menu too often.
