Burgertime With Artie Lange…

May 4, 2006 at 10:57 pm in Food & Drink

On Tuesday’s edition of The Howard Stern Show, Howard and Artie Lange had a brief conversation about burger chains in L.A.:

Artie: “Somehow, Los Angeles supports *eight* different burger chains. I don’t know how that’s possible.”

Howard: “What’s the big one out there?”

Artie: “Well, In-and-Out is a big one… Well, they have McDonald’s and Burger King but they also have In-and-Out, Fatburger… Astro Burger.”

Howard: “What’s the best one?”

Robin: “And then Jack-in-the-Box(?) is still–”

Artie: “Jack-in-the-Box is still there, and Carl’s… Right around the corner from where we shot MadTV there was an Astro Burger. Oh my god! It was *so* fucking good!”

Howard: “Is that the best?”

Artie: “…to me it was. It was right by the Paramount lot and there was like only three or four Astro Burgers. In-and-Out is great…”

Audio here (2:49:22, 495.76k).

So they mentioned seven burger chains:

  • McDonald’s
  • Burger King
  • Carl’s Jr.
  • Jack-in-the-Box
  • In-and-Out
  • Fat Burger
  • Astro Burger

Notable omissions include Wendy’s and Tommy’s.

Does Fuddrucker count?

And a friend said Arby’s doesn’t count since they serve roast beef.

Any others?

(Listening to this talk about burgers, dammit, now I’m hungry.)
