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.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair.
