Closest thing I've found to In-n-Out is Culvers. I was hoping In-n-out would take up Florida's invitation to come here when California shut them down.
Utah has In-n-Out burgers because someone opened a fast food place called Cheddars and had the same menu and design. In-n-Out sued for copyright but lost so they opened a 5 restaurants in the Salt Lake Valley to compete. We were very grateful!
Anyone want to open a Cheddars here??

Here's my take on hamburgers.

With all the ingredients we put on burgers, lettuce, pickles, catsup, cheese, onions.

Then there's lean burgers, turkey burgers, vegetable burgers, God knows what else.

I swear we all could be eating ground dog meat, and nobody would notice the difference.

Best Burgers WILL be at Burger Fi, soon to open in Pinellas Plaza near the Beaumont development. They have a burger called the CEO that has burger that is a mix of American Wagyu and Brisket topped by a candied bacon and tomato relish; Swiss cheese; caramelized onions; and a truffle aioli. Get it with the Truffle style fries: Parmesan cheese and a truffle, garlic aioli.

I believe that will be in the Beaumont development across the street from the Pinellas Plaza and just outside the Villages. (can't get there by golf cart). I'm looking forward to trying it.

After the dough is ready I divide it into buns and it goes in the oven on 200 for 35 minutes then turn oven to 325 and cook until they look good. Brush with butter after taking them out of the oven. It sounds like a lot of work but the machines do all the work !

We do something similar but use whole wheat flour and add to the rising times

Burgers are GREAT Here, plus their fries. Wednesdays is their BOGO burger special, great value and love the service too.

Do not know the best burger but do recommend that you do not go to the pool bar at Nancy Lopez unless you like a well done burger. Have had good burgers at Codys and Millers Ale House.

I am finding out lately that this it is getting difficult to order a burger which is less cooked than medium and I do like a good rare or medium rare burger.

They do have reasonably good taste, but can not be ordered by cooked temperature.

Cody may have the best burgers but also the worst service we have seen since living here.

Sometimes I substitute one cup of whole wheat flour . Makes a great bun

I will say that Ruby Tuesdays had a one pound Burger that my wife had . She truly enjoyed it oh, but my real answer would be, make it at home on a grill with a simple recipe Chuck meat so there's a lot of fat, chop up some mushrooms to keep moisture in and some chopped mushrooms, is Montreal spices and salt and pepper and if you really want to get crazy put some American cheese in the middle between two patties, press the edges cook at medium heat and flip twice then go crazy and toast your buns and enjoy the best burger you'll ever have. Don't forget a slice of onion and tomato and lettuce on the sandwich as well. I truly believe everyone can make a better burger at home, then having one at a restaurant

My favorite is the Steakhouse Burger at Bob Evens at Colony. Comes with bacon and caramelized onions.
