Agreed, although I’ll patronize the other locations out of convenience. But eating at Rampart and Beverly is an _experience._

_I worked there_. As security late Friday and Saturday nite. Tuff gangbangers lining up with socialites in full dress, cops, partygirls, and drunks straight out of the bars. A slice of LA life. Oddly, other than the parking (_very_ nasty) everyone was cool. 🆒

I got paid 3X normal, all the Chili-cheeseburgers I could eat, and working there actually got me out of a speeding ticket\*, it was that cool.

(\*I told the cop I was on the way to work security at Tommys, and he just said “well, just make sure you get there in one piece” and waved me away! :eek: )

I miss In-N-Out SO much since I moved up to Oregon. I loved their fries and their shakes, although I do agree the wait there was usually horrid. I came up here and asked if any were up here and found out there weren’t. But then someone mentioned a chain called **Burgerville** and just sang the praises of it. So I decided to try it. UGH. I was SO disappointed. I just…uck…nothing compared to good ol’ In-N-Out ☹ The nearest one is 6+ hours away. _contemplates it_

[QUOTE=Asimovian]  
Are you saying that you only buy chiliburgers from Fatburger? I mean, their chili is decent, but their burgers are just fine on their own. I will, however, agree that they are two very different KINDS of burgers and making a comparison isn’t simple.

You know, the thought never even occurred to me to order one without chili. I realize that they do have a “non-chili version”, but I when I think of Fatburger, I think of Double King chili cheese bacon burger.

Once, I was in line at Tommy’s and the Neanderthal in front of me ordered a burger WITHOUT chili. WTF? I was appalled, go to McDonald’s you asswipe!

A _Double_ King Burger? That’s like a pound of meat!

Speaking of chili burgers, how many of you SoCal Dopers like [Carney’s](http://carneytrain.com/hotdoglinks.html)? I love the place.
