In-N-Out's Cheese Burger Meal

In-N-Out

333 Jefferson Street

San Francisco, CA

$4.25USD incl. tax

Appearance: 6

Ingredients: 6

Handling: 8

Taste: 4

After-Effects: 8

Value: 6

Beef patty, onion, tomato, lettuce, cheese & mayo on a lightly-toasted bun.

The tasteless patty is so thin it is practically transparent. The huge chunks of raw onion are unfortunately the only source of flavour.

FINAL SCORE: 6.3/10

Fatburger's King Burger

Las Vegas, NV 89109

Appearance: 6

Ingredients: 7

Handling: 7

Taste: 7.5

After-Effects: 7

Value: 8

1/2lb beef patty, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, mayo & relish on a "freshly baked" bun.

Tasty burger from this retro-styled restaurant chain. Comes wrapped in a handy paper holder that aids in the initial eating but soon becomes a slop depository.

FINAL SCORE: 7/10

Bennigan's "The Irish"

Bennigan's

Chicago, IL

$9.99USD incl. tax (with fries)

Ingredients: 7

Handling: 2

Taste: 8

After-Effects: 3

Value: 5

2 x beef patties, cheese, tomato & lettuce on a toasted bun.

This double-decker behemoth is so massive that there is no chance of tackling it with your hands. Despite the juicy grilled patties I struggled to finish this bad boy. Come prepared.

FINAL SCORE: 5.5/10

Billy Goat's Triple Cheeseburger

Billy Goat Tavern & Grill

330 S.Wells St, Chicago, IL

$5.55USD excl. tax

Appearance: 6

Ingredients: 7

Handling: 8

Taste: 8

After-Effects: 7

Value: 8

3 x beef patties, 2 x slices cheese on a white bun (with mayo, ketchup, onions & pickles added by me at the condiments table).

Quick and friendly service despite the surly cook insisting I 'get a double' instead. Thin but tasty patties get my thumbs up!

FINAL SCORE: 7.3/10
