up and one thing that I've seen repeatedly is the 5 guys/In n Out argument. Maybe I can be of some help here.

I have lived on the east coast for much of my life. Having lived so close to 5 guys' ground zero for a long time, naturally I love their food. It wasn't until about a month ago that I had ever tasted In n out. Here are my findings:

1 - As much as I hate to admit it, In n Out makes a tastier burger.
2 - 5 guys fries are ridiculously better than In n Out. In n Out should be embarrassed by how awful their fries are.

There you have it...it's a tie. That should be the end of it.
