We Tried Every Burger Chain and Ranked Them From Worst to Best

Burgers are the most ordered item in American fast food, and most people have a chain they default to without examining what they are actually getting. Behind the familiar logos and the smell of grilling meat, the ingredient lists, the sourcing decisions, the additive disclosures, and the food safety records of these chains tell a story that the drive-through menu boards leave out entirely. We ranked ten of the most widely recognized burger chains in the country, climbing from the chain with the worst food safety record in modern American fast food history all the way up to the one operation that built a complete no-freezer policy into its founding principles and has never compromised on it in nearly four decades. The chain at the very bottom of this list is directly responsible for a federal food safety law that did not exist before its failure. The chain at the very top has a core ingredient list short enough to memorize. Keep climbing with us. 📺 Watch the entire video for more details!
