Im not sure I agree...I would have to say Fuddruckers has a slight edge on them, but again...only slight. It may be their bun, and another plus is that Fuddruckers will cook your burger to order (rare, med, ect.), and Flakeys will not.

No whole grain buns at Fudds, but they do have bean sprouts availible. Fudds also has this killer italian dressing for burgers...yum.
