A GREAT fast food burger, (surprising restaurant)

Have you ever had the bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce at five guys? The bacon has a crunchy tenderness that melts in your mouth, it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. I prefer to have a milkshake with it as well but it costs an arm and leg to get both. Wonder what an ice cream and burger duo would cost at dq

I have not had that combination at Five Guys. I'm not really into BBQ sauce on burgers. I like it on chicken, but not hamburgers DQ is definitely cheaper than Five Guys.

How’s the bacon on the burger?

In your running prime, how fast could you do a Flamethrower Burger mile? Same concept as a beer mile, 1 burger at the start of every lap.

I reckon I couldn't break 30 minutes. Could any man do this? Is it possible to go faster than the womens 90 year old world record of 13:26.46, held by the legendary Colleen Milliman?

Thats two pounds of beef with a side of an all out mile.

Eagle's Deli in Brighton, MA. Order yourself a "Furious Pete".

End of thread.

My prime was about 20 years ago (I'm 47 now and run probably once a week if I'm lucky), and at my very fastest I could run a 4:22 mile. However I was also an eating machine and weighed 205 pounds and was 5'11 on a good day. There weren't quite the same burger options in my time, but we still had some great choices, and I could plow through half pound burgers like they were nothing.

That being said, a beer mile sounds a hell of a lot easier than this burger mile. My best beer mile was 5:38, but that's with each beer taking about 12 seconds. I think to pace it properly I would need to eat the burgers in about 2.5 to 3 minutes to (hopefully) not throw up and run a decent time around the 17-19 minute range if I'm going about 70-75 seconds per lap.

Who knows, it could just wipe anyone out and maybe I'd even run 30 minutes or maybe even 12 minutes if I'm feeling like an animal. Depends on the day, but even at my best, the task sounds daunting. I wonder who the best burger mile runner of all time would be.

Thanks for telling us about this. I love eating fast food burgers as well and will hopefully try this soon. Not sure why people don’t like it but I’m a huge fan of Big Mac. I also love Wendy’s Classic Single.

I recently had Habit Burger and I thought it was good, but I prefer a Big Mac.

Also, In N’ Out, I had Double Double animal style and I thought it was good, but didn’t think it was amazing. I think if I’m in an area with In N’ Out again, I’ll try the animal style with single patty. Usually, the more meat the better but sometimes, there’s not balance.

The bacon on my burger was crispy and perfectly cooked.

I've never been good at fast eating challenges, and since that is a component in this fictitious race, I would have to say I would not do well. 30 minutes though? I will destroy 30 minutes.

Not really the end of thread, because this thread didn't ask anyone to name the best burger. I just told you where to get one expectedly.

So, thread continues and only ends when I say so.

I like a Big Mac once in a while. If McDonald's goes to fresh beef for that sandwich like they did with the Quarter Pounder, it would up its game.

I almost barfed a little when you said Wienierschnintzel burger.

Ever try Carl’s Jr.? Probably the best fast grill burgers ? everrr...?

Carl's jr? Seriously? best? I can think of 10+ better fast food spots immediately. Nice one buddy

It's too bad In-n-Out didn't stick with their original burgers. I think an heiress took over a few years ago and cut back on the meat in order to make more money and destroyed a great burger.

I didn't say they were good.

Car's Jr. is one of the worst I've had.

What do people think is the best type of burger bun. I've been eating Hawaiian buns recently and I could not believe the amount of flavor it added to the overall taste of my meal. It was quite incredible. Has anyone ever had a donut burger bun? They also look amazing.

Gross. You are what you eat.

I just had the 1/2 pound flamethrower burger. I thought it was good, but nothing special about it. It tasted pretty good but not good enough where I would go back to get one again. There was just nothing that was amazing about it.
