Memorial Day Holiday Weekend is almost here! Who else is anxious for the first major holiday of the year? For us, we're big fans of grilling during Memorial Day weekend... and our favorite thing to grill are burgers. Speaking of which, have you noticed how many burger places are popping up? There has been a definite increase in burger sales last year as a result of new and updated burger fast food chains all around the country. And because May is National Burger Month, I came across some fun fast food burger info based on a poll conducted by Ranker.com. Below are the results of the poll which closed on May 11th and the poll included 46 fast food burger spots for consumers to rank. The Top 10 as determined by over to 42,000 votes are as follows:
1. In-N-Out Double Double
2. Five Guys Hamburger
3. Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger
4. Whataburger Original Whataburger
5. Burger King Whopper
6. Wendy’s Baconator
7. Fuddruckers The Original Fudds
8. Wendy’s ¼ LB Single
9. Steak ‘n Shake Double ‘n Cheese Steakburger
10. Fatburger Burger
