Cigar Musings

Day 2 and final day (for now) of my little test taste adventure, I decided to compare a cheeseburger from Five Guys and In-N-Out along with comparing French Fries from McDonald’s (my personal favorite) to fries from Burger King.

I noticed my Five Guys Burger came with just cheese and just a slight amount of ketchup (right amount) ketchup while, the In-N-Out came with their sauce, lettuce and tomato. I love lettuce and tomato; however, I wanted a fair comparison so, I removed the lettuce and tomato (will eat that on the side). The 5 Guys burger does come with two meat patties so, it appears like a larger meat patty as opposed to In-N-Out.

In my humble opinion, the Five Guys had a “meatier” taste to it, very delicious. In-N-Out had a bit of tangy, salty delicious taste to it. I find myself liking the Five Guys burger more due to that meatier hamburger taste that seemed to just melt in the mouth.

I also took note when ordering my In-N-Out burger, I wasn’t able to do it on an app like I was with Five Guys; however, In-N-Out is a much busier place and constantly kicking out food left and right. The place is constantly busy, having to stand in a long line to wait to place your order. Let me tell you, it is worth the wait. Their fries alone are amazing. Five Guys, I was able to place my order through an app on my phone and there were maybe 6 customers sitting at different tables and no one standing in line waiting to place an order.

The price for a Five Guy’s cheeseburger is $10.19 (2 meat patties) and the price for the In-N-Out cheeseburger is $3.97. If you are looking for a Great cheeseburger and are on a budget, In-N-Out is the clear winner. Don’t forget their fries. They are Amazing.

Now, comes the Fight of the Fries. I can’t say it was a fair, unbiased battle due to the fact I am personally addicted to McDonald’s Fries. Second only to In-N-Out Fries in my opinion. I must say, the Burger King fries seem to have a more tater taste and yes, that is a technical term in my vocabulary. But, the Burger Kin fires seem to have this different, um… ruffles type texture to it, for the lack of a better term. I don’t really care for it. McDonald’s fries don’t have that texture and just a enough salt that it just tastes better.

The price of McDonald’s small fries came in at $2.69 and Burger King’s are more expensive at $3.90. Budget-wise, I am definitely all over McDees. Keep in mind I am bias on this taste test.

Let me know which do you prefer or if it is from some other joint and why.

In the meantime, Smok’em if you Got’em!
