"Why is it yellow?"
ummm.... because it's a potato bun?
+WorldGoneMad or egg/butter. i thought the same thing. seems like an obvious answer yet he seems gobsmacked by it.
+WorldGoneMad potato buns are white, i think you mean egg bun.
Martin's potato rolls are all yellow. They're the only buns I buy for homemade burgers.
TheIdiotChallenge go to any store buy potato bread. You'll see how stupid that statement makes you sound.
If you look in their cookbook you'll know that they specifically state that it's a potato bun
his answer is both is good if u want to save time
Former Shake Shack employee here - gotta say I prefer In N Out. Also to note that the Shake Shack burger he has costs about $8, the In N Out burger costs $4.
+Jacksirrom this gets grossly overlooked in all these videos
+Jacksirrom i tasted it on the east coast. Hands down In N Out wins. it's just in taste that the burger lacks that sort of unique taste i feel like. Like it's good and shit, but it's like bland at the same time you know?
hahaha basically.
+Andrew Jackson starts as a thick piece of ground burger, with just salt and pepper sprinkled on, pressed flat onto a flat grill. No open flame.
Jacksirrom I would prefer In&Out then, although I would still pay a little more if in and out used open flame for that char & smoky taste. I am not a religious person, but I like that the founder of In&out is God fearing Honest man, out to provide best for his fellow man. He has truly stayed true to principle. Everyone else is Mafia Swindler by comparison.
being someone that loves cheeseburgers i see no point in choosing a favorite. i've had both and love both. end of story.
Best Burgers
#1 - Shake Shack
#2 - Five Guys
#3 - Culver's
#4 - In-N-Out
#5 - Smashburger
In-N-Out burgers are inexpensive and have tasty toppings but quality of beef is cheap. Hence, why they don't cost much. Also, they have the worst tasting fries in the world.
your comment against the shake shack bun is that it's yellow, that's great food journalism right there
+Sean McDonagh And it's yellow because it's a potato bread. He should know that especially working for a FOOD website smh.
nope...2 words; annatto and turmeric. Food colours is what makes the Martins roll yellow.
I think another important distinction is that In-n-Out is cheaper, in general than most competitive "boutique burgers" -are we call them that now?
Also, I think grilled onions are required for any In-n-out burger.
+hoshnasi Yup, I was thinking the same thing. In-n-out's Double double is about $3, which seems to change place to place, while a Shake shack burger is $5.29 in LA.
+hoshnasi Agreed. I always order mine with grilled onions or Animal style which includes it.
*whole grilled onion* 😋😋😋
IMO In-N-Out burgers without grilled unions are nothin’ special...all the greatness of their burger revolves around, is highly enhanced, comes out with the necessity of grilled unions. That version kills shake shack, that outside of the shakes is mediocre. The buns are some of the worst ever do NOT like soggy ;(
They need the grilled onions the raw onions on it are terrible
He didn't answer the fucking question!
No, he didn't provide an answer. He provided a reply. Big difference.
A Shack Burger costs like $5.50 whereas a Double Double costs like $3.50.
You can't compare 'pound for pound', you have to compare taste per dollar.
By the way, a double-double is in the same price range as a Big Mac and Whopper.
+nairbil theyre both great burgers but yeah at nearly twice the price, shake shack is past the point of diminishing returns. after spending about $15-16 for the whole meal the last time i went to shake shack i was hoping it would blow my socks off. whereas with in n out i only need to spend $7 satisfy my cravings.
+nairbil yup, dollar for dollar, in n out the best.
Stop trying to justify those skimpy ass patties
nairbil 😐😐😐🤦🏽♂️.....In and Out just got beat badly. It is what it is lol.
I love how he doesn't state the winner but the way he describes them shows the one that does better than the other.
They're both super tasty but I seriously regretted waiting in line for one hour in the rain just to have a taste of 'em!
I just had a double shack burger… Absolutely mind blowing. Perfect crust on the patties and fresh ingredients.
There is no "Double-Double Animal Style" at Shake Shack. Game Over
+420blazeit huh?
+420blazeit I thought pot heads were suppose to be chill. Don't act like you haven't eaten a double double animal style while completely blazed.
I love innout but im not gonna pretend that two patties with grilled onions along with thousand island is something special.
+LongRange Bob Double-Double Animal Style, Grilled Whole and Fresh Onions with chopped peppers.. that's the real deal..
+420blazeit you're eating a burger? i dont get what's healthy about that.
I've never had either one cause I'm in Melbourne, Australia but I don't know why I can comfortably say In-n-out is better.
Have to go for in n out
Christopher Ellington I'd love to but I can't without catching a 18 hour flight.
You're not ordering right. Order them well done and they will be cooked more to your liking it seems.
shake shack burgers are kind of only okay for me because nick is right about the bun, the bun is fluffy and buttery which doesn't go well because the burger and sauce is greasy also. I go to shake shack for the shakes, hot dogs, and fries. They have crinkle cut fries and they're always perfectly crispy, much love for the fries
the fries part is actually for all fast food chains, I love crinkle cut fries and they are always perfect from shack shake
he called a burger "dated"
+Javier Lozano a post neo classicism commentary on the revolutionists and modernization of ... /insert art guy rambling in a museum
It’s why he doesn’t have a job anymore. He is a fool
where I live, we just opened the first Shake Shack and I can't wait to try it! looked at the menu and what catches my eyes us the shroom burger.
I was hoping good things for Shake Shack, mostly because I can justify travelling as far as it takes me to get to the closest Shake Shack (London) but really have to spend a lot to get somewhere for In-and-Out.
Phoenix AZ has both only a few blocks from each other and they are both always pack.
Can someone please send me a link to the songs playing in the background
Love how he explains a hamburger hahaha... Always makes me hungry....
can anyone tell which songs are being played in the background ?
I like both but if I’m picking a winner I have to go Shake Shack… the sauce!
IN-N-OUT is a religion, bruh. Dafuq you talking about "outdated" ?
Lol
Tek Phou amen to that
Religion is an antiquated device used by those disillusioned enough to believe in superstition and myth. Hence, by syllogistic logic, your statement can be contrived as such- "IN-N-OUT is outdated".
Fuck off Michael
More like a cult than a religion
I live on the east coast so ive only ever eaten ShakeShack.
I’ve never had the liberty of trying In N Out but I’ve always wanted to try it ever since I saw The Big Lebowski.
name of the background song at 1:45 ?
When is in and out coming to Seattle I’m waiting 😞
How much did Shake Shack pay you?
LOL
not even lol he said it clearly... " when I'm in california" lol enough said
he announces which is better before he even "tastes" a bite
k
Dirty Harrier he earned 5k for the entire segment
This is that kind of batttle that no matter witch one wins. At the end of the day we are the winners, ou know. Great video!
Maybe this is a bit presumptuous, but I think In-n-Out being a rarity and "new" thing in Texas means that the people who work there don't have the same "home" passion for In-n-Out as we do on the west coast. That being said, maybe your Texan In-n-Out burger doesn't have the same love in it as the Californian one. (I live just several miles away from THE original In-n-Out in Baldwin Park, and other original ones)

Texas has P. Terry's, which destroys Shake Shack and brings a good fight to In-N-Out.
@@FreedomFighter2112 Get their fries well done or upgrade them with animal style fries. Never looked back.
I'm sure Shake Shack is fine. But Shake Shack costs TWICE AS MUCH as In-N-Out. You shouldn't be comparing In-N-Out to Shake Shack, or Father's Office, or some other new age burger concoction. You should be comparing it to McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Jack In The Box and Carls Jr. Because it's at that price point. On that basis, In-N-Out must win, walking away.
Dang I really wish to have seen ya around Austin!
New Yorker here going to Arizona next week, and looking forward to get me some in-n-out !!!!!
+Qian J Just get your burger animal style and a Neapolitan shake or rootbeer float to drink.
Excellent review. Not having had Shake Sack I look forward to the comparison.
In N Out wins by a huge margin.
whenever i see these side by side comparisons of the two chains (Or really any burger), all I can think is how you know that burger is cold af.
What the heck is Instanbul?

Appropriate picture for your post. BTW, westerners gave it the crushing blow in the 4th crusade so, y'know...
i live in cali we have 5 guys shake shack and in n outs and it all comes down to what you prefer because ALL 3 of them are very different
One is $3.70 the other is $6.84.
"I will continue to eat them until they kill me", my man !!!!!
nothing beats in-n-out
Must be nice to have an in-n-out 5 minutes away from my house! ^_^
When I was living in NYC I had a Shake Shack burger. I was fairly unimpressed.
For In-N-Out I've never walked away disappointed. In-N-Out is the clear winner.
Funny, because when I had Shake Shack I thought it was fairly rated. Not under, not over. Just a good burger.
When I had In-N-Out, I thought it didn't really live up to the hype. Found it to be a good burger, but more like a notch above Wendy's rather than the transcendental experience it was hyped up to be. Let's also not forget that their fries are virtually inedible.
For me Shake Shack is the clear winner.
Yes, In-N-Out is better when you're on a budget. However, if you want the best burger and have the money, the Shake Shack is the best by far
In-N-Out is the poor man's burger. It's good but definitely not better than Shake Shack or Five Guys

The first place to have both, when i did my taste test ... LAS VEGAS HOMIE!!
NY'er born and raised, had shack shake when they came out and had in n out since 99 and they are so contrasting in taste, its hard to pick. One thing i could agree with him is the Synergy of all the components of in n out, its a amazing combo

In and out is way better than shake shack
No that a Lie Lie Lie Shake Shack way better then in-n-out
No no no... That is so incorrect
In and out is king
+Jeffrey Capalad ur Joking
shut up u californian
INNOUT all day any day. Cheeseburger animal style, fries well done (cut from fresh potatotes on the spot), chocolate shake and a coke. Game over.
grokker99 bruh a shake AND. A coke? Wow
Shake Shack is a much more expensive burger that takes the blueprint of In N Out and upgrades some ingredients. It's not really a fair comparison.
fucking hell, i just wasted 3 minutes trying to hear a verdict but all i got was an advertisement
I've only had in-n-out once but damn it was so good
Where do you find shake shack
the price is also very different.. i'm more of a shake shack person.. but probably coz i live in NYC.. we just uploaded our review on shake shack if you wanna check it out :-)
I get the East Coast vs West Coast of In and Out vs Shake Shack, but you were in Austin! Why didn't you give the Hometown hero that is Whataburger a shot?
In n out has been the signature west coast burger for decades its iconic to LA (Baldwin Park) it's hands down the best in my opinion, very satisfying and one of those burgers I can eat every week. My opinion.
it's so primal, it's so elemental!
3x4 (3 patties, 4 slices of cheese) animal style add raw onion= Pure bliss! Animal style fries and a neapolitan shake are great additions as well!
Yes, In-N-Out is better when you're on a budget. However, if you want the best burger and have the money, the Shake Shack is the best by far
I have always hated beef but, as a california native, I've always loved In N Out. Something about their beef and the slim patties is perfect
The potato bun is the best part of the shake shack burger...omg!
Rush's in Columbia, SC gives both a run for their money.
Both In-N-Out and Shake Shack have locations in Las Vegas too. The only burger that rivals (and perhaps surpasses) In-N-Out is Habit Burger from California. Las Vegas recently got its first Habit Burger and its amazing.
I tried that Las Vegas location in the NW...liked the burger, fries and liked the place. At twice the price though...I will keep going to In N Out.
I was interested in hearing about who makes a better burger between these two establishments, but since it's a Nick video and not a Lucas video, I'll be showing myself out.
#LucasforALLthevideos
in n out patties "get lost," then he immediately shows a shake shack burger that's about 50% pickles
That map showing locations of In-n-Out's around the country is incorrect, no locations in WA and only in southern OR.
So which is better????
+ThisIsLeor They're probably about the same, but In-N-Out costs 50% less. In-N-Out wins.
Las Vegas now also has both Shake Shack and In N out burger, also everything else in between ....
i had shake shack or the first time yesterday in the new west hollywood location. I have grown up with In N out my whole life but man shake shack was one of the best burgers I have had in a long time. Comparing the two, shake shack's meat is seasoned way better and has a charcoal taste to it. both very different depends on what your'e going for
I work at In N Out eat it everyday and never get tired of it, it's the best
How do they compare to the traditional TEXAS burger WhatABurger. I prefer In-N-Out. I’m origionally from LA California but live in Texas now!
We have both in Las Vegas,I've tried both and I have to say that In-n-out makes a better burger, with good quality food for a cheaper price.
And the flavors work with each other rather than against each other. Shake shacks pickle brine sauce tastes sour
I agree. Had both many times.
Something about the In-n-out experience. Concrete, freeway noise, the long line of cars etc. Burger Habit has better burgers ( The Santa Barbara is great) but the ambiance is just a little too "sanitary". I'll opt for In-n-out 3x3 and well done fries and a handful of those incredibly hot little yellow chilis.
Shake shack's beef patty has a much richer flavor to it though compared to in n out, it's also juicier. In n out has a great combo of flavor coming for all components of the burger, but shake shack's beef stood out for me and I love a nice beefy burger, so my vote goes to shake shack.
Yup! The brisket and short ribs makes the difference
Personal fun fact: my cousin was the first person in line at the Tokyo opening of Shake Shack
Have you tried Wholly Cow or Hat Creek Burger?? @Eater
As far as everyday working bachelor food, In-n-Out burger makes for an affordable and quality balanced meal, since you can request protein style or extra lettuce and tomato at no additional cost.
The next Apple vs Samsung battle of food chains.
You get two whole ass meals at in n out for the price of a double cheeseburger at shake shack, no discussion lol
in n out has maintained the same menu and recipes since 1948 . its easy for a burger chain to come along and 1 up the originals. add avocado , bacon , etc.
CALMBEATS ofcourse, that is why he said that burger is "outdated".
What if you combined the double-double and the shack?! *drool*
We don’t really have In-n-Out in the UK so I’m gonna have to say Shake Shack. I had a ShackBurger for lunch today with cheese fries and their apple pie milkshake.
Both are amaizing tbh
I grew up in california my entire life, then went off to college out in Boston. In n out is the first meal I get when I come back to california. I have had shake shack multiple times and it just doesn't do it the same way in n out does. Their fries at shake shack are great I give them that, but animal style fries at in n out are one of my favorite things at a fast food joint. The quality of In n Out's ingredients are uncanny to the rest. You mix high quality, great taste, and an extremely affordable price you create magic. That is what in n out has done for me. Shake shack is good, but I don't think the taste is as good as it should be considering the prices are ridiculous compared to in n out.
I go with Shake Shack.
They are both delicious and I know that In n' out has better prices and actually kinda better flavor, but shake shack has wayy better ingredients (I'm not just talking about the meat, as in n' out's also great, but also veggies, bun and stuff) And after eating an in n' out burger I feel heavy and not well, after eating a shake shack burger I feel great.
They are both really yummy, It just depends on the person, cause if you are more of a healthy eater who does not have a problem with splurging then you may prefer shake shack, if you are more of a person who wants food for the flavor and in a lower budget, then in n' out's for you. I personally like shake shack better, but it just depends, you can't compare they are different styles.
i have never been on the west coast so i have not tried in n out yet but the best burger i have ever eaten out side of my grill is bobby flays blue burger
I literally cannot believe this is your day job. Lucky you!
well i would say GOTTS roadside , since Shake Shake was modeled after us .... eater please message me and lets set up a challenge
One time when I was so hungry, I ate all of the paper wrapping by accident plus parts of the melted cheese on the wrapper doesnt help.
in-n-out I meant
WTF, there's no Shake Shack here in the Philippines as you pinned on your map.
no offense but I live in cali and they opened up a shake shack near us and holy shit is it expensive compared to in and out. I feel that shake shack is a hipster version of in and out cause like not only is it tiner than in and out it's so expensive in comparison.
on top of that at least in and out give refills
“Why is it yellow?” Uh, ever heard of melted butter?
Never had shake shack but I'm an in n out fan so I'll go for that
I don't know why but I always thought in-n-out was like a gas station joint that sold burgers and shit inside...that's why I always have a bad perception of it
had in n out finally 2 years ago and i cant seem to figure out what the fuss is about..told my friend and he was like did you get animal style? i was like ok ill give it another try. same result. id rather eat a big mac. Shake Shack on the other hand such a better quality burger.
I never had shake shack before
I'm Canadian, I have no bias, I had the Shake Shack and In-N-Out in Las Vegas and Shake Shack is so much better but then again Shake Shack is more expensive so it better taste better.
I'm from Illinois, how do these compare to Five Guys?
Both chains are also in Arizona.
I honestly can't believe it's even up for discussion. In-N-Out!!!!!
I first went to a In N Out in the late 60's and early 70's. The closest one to us is 140 miles away. During recent travels we went to a Shake Shack for the very first time. The shake was pretty good and had to be eaten with a spoon. It didn't have quite enough chocolate for me. The burger was great! It tastes different than an In N Out burger. I like the In N Out shake better as they are more chocolaty and can be eaten without a spoon. I hate using straws for anything so I prefer a shake that I can drink slowly, slow because it is thick. As for which is better, I don't think a comparison is appropriate. Both have different tastes. In N Out tastes like the burgers you would get at small mom and pop, hole in the wall, burger places in the 1950's. They taste fresher and they are crunchy with ample amounts of lettuce, tomato and onion. They have a great sauce and the Shake Shack does not.
There is a Five Guys Burgers and Fries across the street from the Shake Shack we went to. When we travel to the area again we are going to try it to see how it compares. Some of the best burgers I have found across the country and the best malts (they taste better than a shake to me) I've had have been at Dairy Queens. I also like finding a good A & W, which are becoming far fewer in numbers. I don't drink sodas, but love an A & W on tap.
Yes, In-N-Out is better when you're on a budget. However, if you want the best burger and have the money, the Shake Shack is the best by far
@@FreedomFighter2112 I've eaten at a Shake Shack and the shakes were very good. I've had better at Dairy Queen, however. The burgers weren't better than In-N-Out, just different. Both Shake Shack and In-N-Out are really equal, but different. The fries at In-N-Out are better. Then there is the latter's "secret menu," I'm not sure if Shake Shack allows ordering something not on the menu.

had shake shack recently in the UK, honestly it's way overpriced £25 for two burgers, chips and a drink is insane, the burger was good don't get me wrong but for £12.50 it's too much for a working class meal when it boils down to it
I pretty much agreed with this dude. I would also say that pound-for-pound Shake Shack makes the better burger. In my opinion the Shack Sauce is better than the In-N-Out spread, and that for me makes Shake Shack the winner. But the Shake Shack burger only barely squeaks by the In-N-Out burger while being nearly double the price. Pound-for-pound Shake Shack wins barely, but pound-for-dollar (is that the term I'm looking for?) In-N-Out wins by a landslide. By that ruling, I would eat at In-N-Out far more regularly than I would at Shake Shack. But I love both places and would eat at either any day of the week.
there is an in and out burger that shows up every now and then in Australia...
i've been around... in n out is the best FAST FOOD burger place...hands down...don't get it mixed up with gourmet burgers though...nothing compares to those...but in-n-out is by far my fav fast food spot...and it's super cheap...you can't beat it honestly...
These burgers needed to be judged more on the merits of the product and less on the intrinsic and sentimental value. While you touched on the former a little bit, the latter seemed to cloud the issue. Honestly, a burger's historical performance does little to influence me. You could have started with a more comprehensive segment on each burger's terroir then answered the question of "Which you prefer." And then follow it up stating variables that may have contributed to why the other burger underperformed i.e. "I may be inclined towards the newer Shake Shack Burger because it's a new flavor that does justice to the concept of the hamburger juxtaposed against being burnt out on the Double Double as an unintended side-effect of it's longevity and staying power."
