So, what would In-N-Out make Mikky D's look like? Dog food?
Well... yes... though Jack in the Box's parent company is the same one for Purena dog foods.

Whataburger does use some spices on the patties. They are pretty much like any standard beef rub, although I have yet to make an exact copy of them. Getting close.

Hmm, they spice up their patties... ok, you've peaked my curiosity now. If there's one thing I got against almost all fast food hamburger joints is that their meat patties are as plain as you can get. It's jsut one of those basic things that makes home-made BBQed hamburgers the best of them all (now, lets see who disagrees with that statement).
Also, In-n-Out has been family owned and managed since it was openend (my uncle went to school with one of the original generation's sons, and also got his first job working at an In-n-Out). They still agressively hold their seats of power against all comers. They say it's so that they maintain direct quality control of their product and employee training.
