New Mexico: Blake’s Lotaburgers
New Mexico’s biggest claim to fame in the fast food world is the Lotaburger topped with cheese and green chile.
While you can get it at the local Whataburger, the best place to get these bad boys is at Blake’s Lotaburgers, which is recognized as one of the best regional fast food chains in the country. Not only are their burgers simply the bomb, but the rest of the menu is also tasty and fresh.
Blake’s covers the entire state and has also expanded into West Texas, with more locations on the way. If you get a Blake’s Lotaburger in your town, consider yourself lucky.
New York: Shake Shack
There are some who believe that Shake Shack is an overpriced burger chain not worthy of its claim.
But the New York-based chain also has a legion of fans that will rebuke the haters, those who claim Shake Shack as one of the best fast food brands in America thanks to their fresh burgers that draw the chain a ton of fans.
Whichever spot you sit on the Shake Shack issue, everyone can at least acknowledge that Shake Shack isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
