A Zagat's survey of over 6,000 fast food regulars has confirmed what your buddies from Cali have been telling you for years: In-N-Out Burger has the finest promptly made hamburger in the land.

The franchise with the secret menu and the cult-like following edged out national chains Wendy's, Burger King and McDonald's, as well as Whataburger, which services the South and Southwest.

But given the pride West Coasters have always derived from the "double doubles" and "4x4s" only they can have, we suspect they may be less than objective when analyzing the national burger chains, thus throwing off the survey.

So we toss it to you, to try again.
