Five Guy's Burger Homemade vs. In-N-Out Burger!
We tried this copycat recipe the other end to celebrate the end of Cincinnati Burger week 2019!
In a battle of burgers, Five Guys wins nationally. The East Coast burger sensation claimed the top spot in a 2017 brand report from Harris Poll, based on input from over 100,000 consumers.
In-N-Out, a cult favorite on the West Coast, held the title for the previous two years and has long been considered Five Guys' top rival. The burger chain recently announced it's opening a distribution center in Colorado, which could allow it to expand further east. All stores must be located close to these hubs because of the company's strict policy of serving its food fresh.
Five Guys has grown with it fame and fans. It has over 1,500 locations worldwide, while In-N-Out has about 300 locations across 7 states.
With their rivalry heating up between them my wife and I decided to give them a homemade taste-test, I've had both burgers more than once at their locations and I know how good both are and how they taste. Here's are our results and we thing we made near perfect copycat recipes.
Here are the Copycat Recipes we used found online, we followed them down to the smallest detail!
