Winning: That's what a hamburger's all about, right? Specifically, In-N-Out's popular Double Double burger, which has just found itself on the top of the heap on a list of fast food burgers around the nation.
Taking the number one spot, the Double Double is the consumer favorite, according to a Ranker.com, a site that focuses on ranking things. (Why not?)
Says Ranker.com:
When asked to vote on a list of "the top fast food burgers," the aggregated opinions of more than 3,000 individuals voters produced this Top Five: 1. In-N-Out Double Double Burger
2. Five Guys Hamburger
3. Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger
4. Wendy’s Baconator
5. Fuddruckers
Unfortunately, if you want to pair your winning burger with a shake, the results are skewing in favor of you making two stops. Ranking ahead of In-N-Out on a ranking of favorite fast food shakes are seven other picks, including Chick-fil-A, Dairy Queen, Sonic, McDonald's, and NY's Shake Shack.
