Best Burger
1) Five Guys
2) In-N-Out Burger
3) Wendy’s
4) Burger King
5) McDonald’s
* all good, but no nod for White Castle?  And it must be fast food only, because Red Robin should definitely be on the list.

Best French Fries
1) McDonald’s – true but only if eaten in the first 10 minutes. After that they’re terrible.

4) Wendy’s
5) Burger King
