My Top Five Burger Joints

I thought about this today as I devoured a cheeseburger from Five Guys Burgers and Fries in West Vancouver. Yes, that's right, Five Guys has begun its invasion of Canada. Apparently, they've been in Medicine Hat, Alberta for a year. It was reported to me that Five Guys will be opening 20 new locations in BC over the next two years.

So here are my top five burger joints.

1. Five Guys Burgers and Fries (Originated in Washington DC)
2. Westport Flea Market (Kansas City, Missouri)
3. In and Out Burger (Southern California)
4. Winsteads (Kansas City, Missouri)
5. Whataburger (Texas)

Honorable Mention: The Red Onion (Vancouver BC) which was the best burger in Vancouver before the invasion began.

I like 4 of your 5 burger joints. Whatabugrer doesn't seem to fit the rest. Please consider replacing it with Town Topic in KC. I am willing to hear a defense of Whataburger if you have one.

Perhaps Whataburger is the outlier. The last time I had one, I was in high school. I would gladly put Town Topic in my top five--they slipped my mind.
