Cookout has the best burgers and Ill fight you if you disagree

[Cullenator]

Dont get me wrong...

I love a good griddle burger with its salt and the greasy quality.  There is a place in the world for that.

 

But when you want a burger that calls you to the backyard and the Weber grill and the oddly shaped pattys...

 

Cookout rules

I wouldn't say they're as good as a backyard grilled burger, but they're the closest I've seen in from a chain. They're also the best chain burger I've had in NC, but that might not be saying much since the large chains suck.

Sir everyone knows the best burger is homemade in your backyard.

 

Smashburger season salt n pepper no extra stuff!

Smash patties until crisp on the edges. 

 

Homemade chilli ground beef, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, onion cook on low let simmer until the water evaporates in the sauce.

 

Cole slaw, prepackaged mix, mayo, light mustard, vinegar mix well.

 

Toast potato buns on griddle with butter.

 

Cheese use whatever you like.

 

Boom best burger in the world Carolina style!

Sorry, I'm preferential to my own burgers.

I have a hard time eating Cook Out.  Whenever I do, it creates a brown volcano in my guts.  It's not pleasant.  

As far as where I go out for a burger...  The Wendy's near my work has been kind to my guts and hasn't tasted too terrible.  Honestly, I avoid fast food as much as possible.  When we do go out to eat, it's usually for something I don't make usually or do well, lol.

[CamWhoaaCam]

I try to stay away from the Wendy's/Burger King fast food spots. Not because I don't like the food.

 

It's the people that cook the food that bothers me. They tend to hire people off the street. Don't believe me walk in and check the people in the back who are cooking.

 

I just can't trust people like that cooking my food. No disrespect.

Big double tray with chili, onions, and mustard with 2 chicken quesadillas and a sweet tea, please. 

finish off with a peanut butter fudge or oreo mint milkshake (or eggnog milkshake in december).

I usually go with their BBQ sandwich tray but the burger is solid too

I rarely eat Burgers anymore, but several people have told me that Culvers has the best Burger around now.

i like culvers alright.

something about cookout, though. doesn't seem like they are trying to be anything different than someone who just makes good burgers, throws stuff on them, and smashes it all together. nothing there is pretty, but it's damn tasty food.

[Cullenator]

Culvers is OK but I prefer other things on their menu than their Butterburgers and I was happy to hear Gboro is getting a Whataburger (never had it but heard good things) but when it comes to the taste of a no frills burger off of an open flame...

 

Cookout has the magic.

Lets fight

 

J/K of course

What do I need to try?

[T-Wazzle]

I use a patty press,  put a cast iron pan in the oven to preheat on broil, burgers in for 8 minutes,  always perfect juicy burgers.

Haven't had a fast food or even grilled burger since (except at family cookouts).

 

[pamlicopanther]

Cookout is certainly a tasty burger and I will never turn one down.  Been eating more healthy these days so haven't had the cookout or similar burger in a long time.  I do make my own awesome burgers on the weber kettle or smashed on the blackstone.

 

I will say a local non chain restaurant can have the best greasy unhealthy heart blocking patties.  Really wanted one yesterday from a local no name and finally talked myself out of it.
