Burger Winners in Zagat's 2011 Fast Food Poll

This survey makes no sense:

2. In N Out

Best Fast Food Fries:
2. Five Guys
4. In N Out

And Yet--
Top Food:
1. In N Out
4. Five Guys

How can this be?

Vegan Pizza ... at Di Fara?

"The lines are too long!"

Prepare Your Defibrillators ...

When I first moved to Albany NY from Connecticut, I was flabbergasted to observe people dipping their pizza in blue cheese dressing, as if it were normal. I believe the practice originated as a side-effect of the ubiquitous pizza & wings combo. After living here for more than a decade, I can report to you that while I still don't approve, I now understand: the pizza up here is that bad.

Steak 'n Shake: The Quintessential American Cheeseburger

Roger Ebert wrote a great piece on Steak 'N Shake a while back: http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/01/car_table_counter_or_takhomasa.html

I love his take on the toppings: "When you bite into the Steakburger, you want it to be gloriously al dente all the way through: toasted bun, crispy patty, onion, pickle, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch."

Pizza Girl: Scary Delivery Situations

@HeartofGlass: Probably Chinese is no 1 because the delivery person is more likely to be undocumented and have limited English skills, and thus, is easier to victimize. Plus they often serve neighborhoods that other places don't or won't.

Dear AHT: No Love for Shake Shack

Au contraire, pizzalove, the wait time is not irrelevant, it is a cost, borne by the customer. I can think of a million better things to do with 90 minutes of free time in Manhattan than wait in line for a hamburger; give me the same 90 in New Haven, and I'll gladly wait for an apizza.
