I agree completely, I&O doesn't approach Fat Burger's taste etc., closer to McDonald's quality/taste.

You have to have an insiders knowledge to have them make stuff up "off the menu". 3X Animal style will slay fatburger.

Do we need the secret handshake, or will you divulge your knowledge and describe the 3X Animal style?

FWIW, for me, there's nothing fancy about my favorite Fatburger. Large with cheese and grilled onions. That's it.
Tvad. I agree that Fatburger has great meat and bun. The condiment side is a little different than In-n-Out. The former favors 1000 Island where Fatburger has mayo, mustard and ketchup to order. I find that aspect a little more like McDonalds on the taste spectrum. The taste under those circumstances is a little marginalized (especially when mayo is thrown into the mix) and the if ordered with cheese, it is rarely melted into the patty. I think In-N-Out does a better job with the cheese/grilled onions combo.

I think that Fatburger has the best chocolate malts, made from real ice cream, one of the best I have tasted. In N Out's is super sweet where Fatburger's one is very balanced.
