In Fight for Best Burger, Five Guys Is Tied With… Burger King?
As far as watercooler talk goes, Five Guys is often in the conversation for best fast food burger, but in a surprising plot twist, Burger King is right there with the Guys.
According to Forbes, 1,157 Americans were polled by YouGov, and both Five Guys and Burger King had the highest ranked burgers, each with 15 percent of the votes. Right behind them was Wendy’s with a 14 percent vote, In-N-Out with 9 percent, and McDonald’s rounded out the top five with 7 percent of the vote.
Burger King is probably ecstatic to hear this as it has had its highs and lows this year. The return of its Chicken Fries was a huge hit, but they also had to pull the plug on their semi-healthy Satisfries that no one liked.
Five Guys hasn’t gone through much change, but has the reputation of offering delicious burgers, so much so that people claim there are addictive drugs in them.
As far as the best fries among the major fast food chains, McDonald’s blew away the competition earning 34 percent of the vote of those surveyed.
It’s still mind-boggling that Burger King would be preferred over an In-N-Out Double Double. I smell some East Coast bias in this survey.
