The burger restaurant that money expert Clark Howard loves the most just lost its title as America’s #1 favorite.

According to the 2017 Harris Poll’s EquiTrend study, which measures brand health over time, Five Guys has ousted In-N-Out Burger as the top burger place.

Five Guys tops In-N-Out in new Harris Poll

The ratings are based on three factors: familiarity, quality and purchase consideration.

“The burger brand category has become less fragmented, as regional brands expand and become available in more parts of the country,” said Joan Sinopoli, vice president of brand solutions at The Harris Poll. “This is certainly the case with Five Guys, who has shed its ”˜small regional player’ designation as it expands its footprint and marketing budget along with its fandom, which is a tremendous contributor to brand equity.”

Clark respectfully disagrees with the findings! In-N-Out’s 3 x 3 Burger, featuring three 100% pure beef patties, is what he always gets — cooked well done with only pickles and mustard.

Take a look at the top 10 burger restaurants, according to the poll:

1. Five Guys Burgers and Fries

2. In-N-Out Burger
