And The Best Fast Food Burger Is…

Today I came across a report from a fast food news source, “GreasyNews”, ranking the best fast food burgers in America. And yes I follow “GreasyNews”.

The result was close. Very close.

Five Guys took the top spot by just 0.5%, with Burger King right behind it. Then In-N-Out, Wendy’s, and McDonald’s rounding out the top five. The data came from YouGov, based on surveys of American adults collected between March 2025 and February 2026, tracking the habits of people who eat out regularly.

This is my photograph of a burger from Five Guys. No styling, no adjustments, just as it came out of the bag and onto my black background. The sesame bun slightly collapsing, the cheese melting into the patties, everything just a bit out of control. Exactly how it shows up in real life.

That’s what this project has always been about. Taking fast food and isolating it. Letting it stand on its own.

Five Guys may have edged out the rest in the rankings. But visually, they all hold up once you remove everything else around them.

My opinion… “This IS a tasty burger!”.
