It's rare to find a place that cooks them that way, and even rarer to find a place that does it consistantly. I suspect most of the time I do get them that way, it is because the cook was busy and left them in the deep fryer "too long".

Five Guys Burgers. You haven't had a good burger and fries if you haven't gone to Five Guys. Darn. Maybe I should send that to them as a slogan. Luckily for me the closest is about 40 miles away or I would weigh 400 pounds.

We have a Five Guys Burgers just down the street from where I live. But it doesn't come close to In-N-Out! That place is always crowded and has the best burgers always made from fresh(never frozen) ingredients. And Five Guys costs about 3 times as much. I don't go to In-N-Out much either. For the same reason that you cite here, Churl! LOL
