"For burger fans, In-N-Out Burger rated highest of all 53 chains rated in Consumer Reports Survey with high scores for food, service, value and speed."


Five Guys came in 3rd I think.

I may have missed the link...

Why don't they just post the whole list?

There were only 53 choices for people on there, I'm interested to see which ones were left out.

I was shocked to hear Gordon Ramsey say the best burger he had was an In-N-Out burger.

Most overrated dive I've ever been to. I went twice because of the hype. The burgers were TERRIBLE, the fries undercooked, the service lousy and the line was out the door.


Never again.

how can you identify a delusion? it can't be just any belief resistant to reason, because there are plenty of cultural beliefs that don't count as delusions because 'everyone' believes them. therefore, we have to use the context or the culture to judge a belief that's resistant to reason.

for example, the belief that in-n-out food is terrible is a belief resistant to reason. it's obviously wrong since they use fresh ingredients that are never frozen. everyone knows that it is literally impossible to make a terrible hamburger using fresh hamburger ingredients. beef, cheese, bread, lettuce tomatoes onions? it is nearly impossible to make those things terrible. you might as well argue that beef tastes terrible, or that potatoes taste terrible.

now consider that the cultural belief is that in-n-out is great, and there is a consumer report to back it up. the belief that in-n-out is terrible lies completely outside what is normal for the culture and it is resistant to the self-evident reasoning that hamburgers are good and not terrible. the criteria for delusion is satisfied.
