Every time I write about hamburgers, readers flood my inbox with letters to let me know I failed to include their beloved In-N-Out. They rush to point out that I forgot to mention Five Guys. Or, more recently, “What’s wrong with you? Haven’t you ever been to Shake Shack?”
OK, challenge accepted. I just spent a week eating Double Doubles (and the equivalents) at In-N-Out Burger, Five Guys and Shake Shack to figure out who in this bunch actually makes the best cheeseburgers and french fries. And I’ve come to some conclusions.
