I also heard good things about "The Counter" on Santana Row. Anyhoo, ew man, roaches!? If anything, that'll motivate some people to either go elsewhere or straight up make their own stuff after that.

HOLY HECK!
That says clogged arteries in 1 bite.
I don't know who said it but Bills Burger IS awesome! Don't know if anyone knows the Fairfield area but Dave's is pretty good, a little greasy but good. Overall though, In n Out is hella good. Especially when you want a late night burger that doesn't have warm pickles and wasn't cooked like 3 hours ago.
I will be trying the bacon... sounds like happiness

probably costs twice as much as inNout tho

You can make your own burger that will be WAY better than In 'n Out really easily. It's basically Alton Brown's recipe from Good Eats.
Take 1/4lb of ground chuck (higher fat content = better flavor) and a 1/4lb of ground sirloin (leaner meat = better texture) and mix them together with a bit of kosher salt and lightly and form into a patty - you don't want the patty to be too dense. I personally like to form the patty a big larger than the bun, as it will shrink a bit after cooking. Heat a cast iron skillet on med-high to high until it is basically smoking. Put the patty down and don't touch it for 2-3 minutes. In the meantime, toast a bun (I like brioche buns, but any kind if fine). Flip, and repeat. DO NOT TOUCH THE MEAT, with the exception of flipping it, and taking it off the pan. If you squeeze it down with the spatula to make that sizzle sound, you are a moron and deserve to eat nothing better McDonald's hamburgers. So, take your now-toasty bun, put a bit of mayo on the bottom half of the bun, grind some fresh pepper on it, and put your now juicy meaty patty on it. Then put the top half of the bun on. THAT'S IT!
You can add whatever you like, thick bacon, cheese, etc. but try it with just meat and bun. You'll be amazed at how juicy and beefy it is, and wonder what the hell you've been eating at fast food joints up until now.
