I'm like your polar opposite. Had In N Out a couple of times and thought it was totally overrated and overhyped. I'd much rather eat a Five Guys burger.

Five Guys doesn't have green chiles - Disqualified from consideration...

... though, what they do have ain't all that bad.

If this was a "Best Fast Food Burger in New Mexico" I'd be inclined to agree with your disqualification.

In the other 49 states the presence (or lack thereof) of green chilies is not a deal-breaker for most people.

When I make burgers at home I often chop up green chilies and onions and put them in the ground beef. Delicious. Even works for ground turkey.

Looks like they wanted to concentrate on just the fast food chains. The kind of places that usually have a drive thru. Red Robin is more of a sit down, order, and wait type of place like Chili's, Applebees, etc.

Probably because Red Robin isn't a fast food restaurant? But I agree, their burgers are really good especially the one with an egg on it.

See, and I originally thought that. But why are Bob's Big Boy, Johnny Rockets, and Fuddruckers on there then? Those are all sit down and some actually slower than Red Robin.

Chicago? Kanye West had a chain ov-em there, but shut down?

Hey: https://www.fatburger.com/menu/

I got one down the street in Redondo Beach. I head over there a say "Make mine an XXL, put a nice fried egg over it, the chile next, then cheese, onions; and gimme a skinny chile fries on the side. Buncha mayo and a few drops of A-1 if you got it. Also , a choc shake and five bucks of quarters for the juke box. Shout out EOCT, huh?"

Also, In-N-Out is solid, but definitely not as good as its made out to be. However, I also dont eat McDonalds or any of that shit.

I mainly eat at local burger restaurants. If you come to San Diego, dont miss Hodad's.

Graze Premium Burgers opens at 11 a.m. today at 2721 E. Speedway, in the former home of fro-yo purveyor BTO By Choice.

Graze is owned by Paolo DeFilippis, and Jeff and Fran Katz — the folks behind the healthful-leaning Choice Greens chopped salads and sandwiches shops.

Graze’s burgers are made from antibiotic- and hormone-free Niman Ranch beef and there is a grass-fed beef option on the menu. Kennebec potatoes — the taters of choice for finer restaurants nationwide — are hand-cut Belgian-style and double fried. They also serve free-range chicken, organic sugar cane sodas and organic soft serve.

Graze is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Follow them on Facebook.

Folks in Tucson, Arizona, will soon know what a Lotaburger is. Blake's Lotaburger will open its first Arizona location there on April 1, expanding its burger empire to three states.

The restaurant is famous for its green chile Lotaburger, breakfast burritos and seasoned fries, but you don't have to tell New Mexicans that — the company has 75 locations throughout the state.

Last year, we reported Blake's Lotaburger originally planned to open its first Tucson location by midsummer. The company already has plans to open its second Tucson location by the end of May.
