Zagat names In-N-Out Double-Double best burger in L.A. Do you agree?

By Jenn Harris contact the reporter
In-N-Out BurgerFather's Office

In yet another best-of list you'll want to read, Zagat named the
Double-Double the best burger in the city. Yes, that's over the coveted
Father's Office burger, the ketchup-leather-topped burger at Plan Check,
the Five Guys Burger with its cult following and the Habit burger,
recently named the best burger in America by Consumer Reports.

That's according to the opinion of the 3,466 people who participated in
Zagat's burger survey. They were asked to rate and review burgers in 16
major cities. The burgers were rated on a 30-point scale based on
flavor, ingredients and value.

The In-N-Out Double-Double had the highest score in Los Angeles with 23
points out of 30. Is it just me, or is that number a little low? Other
burgers in other cities received scores of 24 to 28 points.

In New York, the Luger Burger from Peter Luger came out on top, the
Lockdown Warden burger at Lockdown Bar & Grill took top honors in
Chicago, the Snack Shack Burger from Carnitas' Snack Shack was named
best burger in San Diego, and Nopa's grass-fed hamburger was rated the
best in San Francisco. For a list of all the best-rated burgers, visit
www.zagat.com/bestburgers.

Survey participants were also asked about their favorite burger
toppings. A fried egg was the burger topper of choice for 64% of
participants, and when it came to buns, 64% said they preferred a
pretzel bun, 30% went for a ramen noodle bun and 23% were willing to eat
their burger on a doughnut.

Participants in the survey also reported eating burgers an average of
4.6 times a month. Of those surveyed, 44% said they would spend more
than $25 on a "mind-blowing" burger and 72% said they would be willing
to spend between $10 to $20 on a burger.


As far as where to get your fix, 33% said they head to specialty burger
joints while 24% said general restaurants, 9% said fast food spots and
4% said diners.

I agree. Only a pig would want a burger on a freakin' doughnut.
And how the heck could a bun be made of ramen noodles?

I think my favorite burger is a Steak 'n Shake Triple Steakburger
with extra onion, extra pickles and extra relish. They come with a
small fries for $3.99, and you can add a small chili for $1.25, and
yesterday's mail had coupons from SnS making the chili only 99 cents
extra, so $4.98 total, and during happy hours (2-4 am or pm) all
drinks are half price, including milk shakes.

There were also coupons from McD's, BK, JitB (haven't eaten there in
years), and I have BOGO coupons for White Castle combo meals (eight
burgers, two fries and two small sodas for $5.29). My fast food
coupon portfolio runneth over.

Agrees with you, TOG, I tried In-N-Out and it did nothing for me. I
guess it is what you are accustomed to. I talked to my son in
Pennsylvania and he misses Whataburger.

Zagat (or anything similar) proclaiming In-N-Out whatever burger as the
best is pretty useless information. They're talking about a regional
chain. I've never had a burger from In-N-Out and never will. Zagat's
proclamation is certainly not BIG NEWS in my book.

What? A burger made with two planks of uncooked ramen noodles instead
of buns? As much as I like ramen noodles, count me out, despite Time
magazines proclamation it's one of "The 17 Most Influential Burgers of
All Time". I wanna bun that will contain the meat, not one that will
explode into a greasy mess as fast as the oversized undercooked meat.

It's got to be lousy at containing condiments too and overly crunchy.

Pass.

I love therm.

But I do not feel comfortable with them screwing up a perfect formula and
adding bizarre products like Twinkie burgers. They are so good because they
stay focused on a small product line that they can maintain high standards.

However there are better burgers but not at chains. Apple Pan, Pantry all
make better burgers but they are one offs.

None on the east coast... I stopped eating mystery meat burgers long

In and Out uses only fresh meat and whole cuts. They buy from only certifed
ranches and no restaurant can be more than a 12 hour truck drive from their
meat packing plants. Nothing is ever frozen. That is one reason they are
not nationwide.

It's all about the freshest ingredients. Even the tomatoes are vine ripe
and shipped in straight from the fields to the restaurants.

Also, they season their grills unlike other places which scrape them down
with a grill brick every day. That adds a lot to the flavor.

A day is twelve hours. A day's drive is 12 hours. Hint: they have relief

They are clean. Gunk and seasoned are not the same. InO has always gotten
A ratings.

No, a 12 hour day which is what I wrote. No more than 12 hours, I wrote
which means they can drive in the evening, too. That would be 12
consecutive hours, not 3 hours, a 2 hour nap, then 2 hours etc. Just to be
clear. I can draw pictures if that helps.

You've never seen a seasoned grill. They are clean. I used to be a short
order cook and we maintained out flattop in a seasoned state. You clean it
by dumping ice on the hot surface, scraping it down then lightly washing it
with a brush. Clean enough to eat off of. But not bricked down to a
polished finish.

"Steakburger". What a ****ing joke. Overcooked hamburgers is what they are. Yes, better than most fast food, but just a ****ing well done thin patty burger. That and cold fries unless I'm in "pain in the ass mode". I'm sure that's not a problem for you, because you're...

There are regional chains such as Braum's (hundreds of stores in a
radius around OKC) that readily kick I-N-O to the curb for fast food
burgers. Braum's in particular does damned near everything in house so
they can maintain QC (check out the tour video on their site), and they
indicate they only open stores within a distance that allows them to get
a delivery from their plant to the store at least every other day.

If you're not planning on being in LA, which is where it was
proclaimed "best" (read *least* expensive) and looking around for a
good $2 burger, so what? They do what they do and they do it well.
They are NOT a McDonald's/Burger King type chain and don't need to
cater to the people who want a salad. You are not part of their
demographic and they're doing just fine. You have other choices and
one less person standing in line means I get to order faster.

I'm hiding under a rock and proud of it. My guess is the low carb
crowd got tired of wrapping burgers in lettuce and is branching out.
It was invented by a Japanese guy, so it makes sense on so many
levels. http://www.instructables.com/id/ramen-burger/ Personally, it
looks and sounds vile. I'll take mine on a pretzel bun.

Who cares other than you two? You're talking about a shape. It could
be a block or a brick. Different work environments, different
nomenclature for the same thing. Let's talk some real turkey: You
say it's lava rock I say it's pumice.

I own a television, but I don't watch enough of the crappy How Much
Food Can I Shove In My Face type shows that he apparently watches to
think a "ramen" bun is even remotely common.
