In-N-Out Burgers

[ACamp1900]

had In n Out today... I find more and more I am oppostie most people in the InO/Five Guys thing...

both are really good but what stands out for In N Out is the fries, especially AS... whereas for FG I thought the burger was a much bigger selling point than the fries, which were very average imo.

The best burger in the world is the TurboBurger. I make them myself on my Weber Grill. Always Angus ground chuck, not ground beef. The beef is too lean. 10% fat. Too dry. Ground chuck is 20% fat. Nice and juicy.

The name comes from my stupid mental meanderings about Hollywood names. Specifically, like "Vin Diesel." Yeah, right. Think that's his real name? Hell, no. But, when the women hear that cool sounding name, more reason for them to swoon. Kind of like "Dash Riprock" on the old Beverly Hillbillies show.

Anyway, I started going by the name of "NankerTurbo" 'cause it sounds ultra-macho and cool, just to test my theory. Can this great sounding name transform me from a short, fat, graying, old man to a virile object of feminine desire? Short answer...No.

But, while I was off on this tangent, I perfected those burgers. Kids, between chomping and drooling, said I should open up a restaurant selling exclusively "TurboBurgers." Haven't done that, but I did go out and buy one those "ranch size" Weber charcoal kettle grills, and I can cook about 75 of those suckers on there at once.

The secret is the charcoal Weber grill, seasonings, and cooking by time. I'll kick the **** out of any burger in the world. And, if I live long enough, might run all these other lame-*** places out of business. Just need to get a bigger grill.

Ha... nice... I like my home made burger with 85 or better with onion, bell and El Pato salsa mixed in with the garlic and other spices...

I also stuff the middle with pepper jack and onions... (I like hot food... more kick the better)

I had Five Guys about 5 minutes ago and it was awesome. Bacon Cheeseburger with cajun fries. I thought the cajun fries were really good with the burger and a coke zero. I've never had In n Out though.

I love In-N-Out. Best fast food burger.


For home made burgers, either a Lamb burger with hummus, feta cheese, tomato and onion or a 85/15 (or 80/20) beef (with worcestershire sauce mixed in the meat) with blue cheese on top.

There used to be a place in Lahaina, on Maui, called "Cheeseburger in Paradise", until Jimmy Buffett's lawyers sued....... I'm pretty sure they had to change the name, but that's another story. Their burgers weren't the greatest, but they were damned good. Combined with the surroundings, there was no better burger experience in the world.

CULVER'S butter burgers made to order with crinkle cut fries...do they have these out west? Because in my humble opinion...they kick the pants off In n Out, Five Guys, Fuddruckers, and any other fast food type burger joint. They have chicken n fish too but the burgers are amaZing. Plus there is one in south bend so if you don't believe me and you cone out for a game try one!

I like Culver's burgers (though they are a step down from In-N-Out) but their fries are not very good. Now their custard is crazy good.

Had In-N-Out for lunch today, double-double animal style. It is so difficult to have In-N-Out less than 100 yards from my work.

If you guys ever make it to the Canton/Akron area I would highly suggest finding a Swenson's for the finest cheeseburger you could ever want. They're kinda like sliders but you'll want to pitch a tent and stay for a week.

Five Guys are also really good and one is about to open 10 minutes away from me!

That might get you thrown out and slapped with a restraining order. Plus, you'll have to inform the neighbors anytime you move.

Just finished the move to Scottsdale and on the top of my to do list was finally try In N Out burger.
Had a double double and it was really good. Living on the east coast most of my life we only have Five Guys and I have to admit they really give them a run for their money.

 

[Veer option]

Which had better fries?

 

[military_irish]

Had my first In N Out Burger today. Sorry but nothing special at all. At least for the hype it has received. Got there parking lot was packed, the line for the drive thru was down the street. I happened to get there at the right time. Someone pulled out of their parking spot which was right in front of the door.

The line was out the door, we stood in line for about 10 mins. I looked at the menu and it had 3 items on it, or something like that. So the choice was easy. I got a double-double burger and fries.

When I seen how big the burger was, I thought I was at White Castle, they were so small. The bun was bigger than the patties. First bite I took and it tasted just like a Justaburger from WhataBurger. I seen no difference except I actually liked the cheese on the In N Out Burger. Other than that, it seems to me nothing more than a glorified Whataburger.

Highly disappointed, I would ask if there is something else on the menu I should try but there is nothing else to order, ha.

Well that was my experience.

4 x 8 animal style with animal style fries and a strawberry shake is the order.

Do you think What-A-Burger is better? God knows I don't.

They're not the best burgers in the world, but among fast food joints, In N Out reigns supreme.

 

[dannwo]

I love In N Out Burgers! I last had them back in March over in Temecula, CA.

 

[theclassickiller]

Ah, In N Out Burger, yet another reason for the rest of the nation to be jealous of California.........

I don't know man... I have a 2400 sq. ft. 2-story house with basement, four bedrooms, two full baths, nice yard, detached garage, in a good neighborhood close by the best Fort Wayne Community schools and near the histroric districts and restaurants for under 100k. Not sure you find that many places outside the Midwest. And it only takes me 15 mins to get to work.

... Plus I love the snow and we have Dikc (flip the letters) Freeland Pizza Huts, which no restaurant can contend with. Period. Anyone from Northeast Indiana back me up?

This is how I feel every time someone bills something as the greatest ever. The greatest movie ever, Avatar, was just Fern Gully with better special effects to me. It's always like that.

Whenever I want someone to try something, I try not to build it up too much so that they can make up their mind without expecting it to be better than it is.

Except Dikc (flip the letters again) Freeland Pizza Huts. I will bill their sauce as the greatest recipe known to man. Next time anyone goes to South Bend for a game, head east a little bit and try our Pizza Huts. It's worth the drive.

 

[bert2834]

Highly overrated. Would much rather eat McDonalds or even a Wendy's in a pinch.

Fries were about as plain as can be.

Rather give my money to a homeless guy next time.

 

[bert2834]

TheClassicKiller nailed it, no one cares about California but people from California.

I like to speak English when I go to a restaurant and getting a home there for the most part is way to expension. How the hell do you pay for anything else?

I saw a house on Flip That House that was 900 square feet and an absolute DUMP and it was 325000 BEFORE they renovated it.

WTF?

I live in a 1900 square foot house in a good neighborhood and live 4 minutes from work and paid a whopping 80k.

Do you think What-A-Burger is better? God knows I don't.

What-A-Burger is not better, but in my eyes it is no where near as great as people make it out to be.

Of course there is only one in the local area but what I noticed is What-A-Burger is employed by college kids or drops outs who don't care. When I went to In-N-Out Burger everyone was very nice and had a smile on there face.

The other difference was that at What-A-Burger the customers are normally college kids or middle class or lower. Then at In-N-Out every single person that walked in that place were dressed in slacks and a long sleeve button down. Some even with their "cool" blue tooths in their ear.

In-N-Out was alot cleaner than a What-A-Burger also. Taste wise tho, nothing special as I was expecting.

I know I am probably expecting a great burger when in reality it is nothing more than a fast food joint. So they can only be so good, but still not "all that" as it was hyped.

Well, that $325K also buys you 75 degree weather in February. When I am at the beach in February with a cold beer in my hand and looking at incredible women in bikinis and you are up to your nutsack in snow, then ask me how I like my 1000 square foot house that I overpaid for.

Don't forget about the weekend getaways to Vegas. I can't live without them.

As far as arguing over location of where to live, I think it is pointless. Everyone has their own preferences and people value different attributes so location is subjective. Some people like cold weather. I met this person at work who was visiting from Wisconsin and was in shorts and tshirt in 60 degree weather. HAHAHA I was bundled up pretty good that day.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I use to live in Thousand Oaks Cal (Ventura County)...it was nice. Where you live is all a perspective thing. However, one thing I don't mis is the flipping earthquakes.

 

[BobD]

I was born in California and live there now, the weather is nice, but I've also lived in Indiana and miss it a lot. More and more California looks and feels like a foreign country. Everything is way over priced, crowded and the public schools are hideous.

I like In-N-Out, but for a real good burger check out Home Page | Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Dude! I spent my young childhood years in Westlake Village. I know Thousand Oaks really well.

Give me an earthquake any day over a tornado!

True, and some people like the same weather year round. My wife is one. I prefer seasons, personally, and love the snow. Nothing is better than leaving for work in the morning, walking out the front door and taking a big breath of crisp, cold air. I don't like to turn the heat on when I'm on the way to work either. So my opinion is obviously biased. Never been to Cali, and there's a good chance I never will. I've been to Texas and Florida and to about every state out west but Cali, and Indiana is the one I prefer.

Plus ND is here, USC is there.

Just playing... but seriously... think about it.

Crap! You got me on that one! I have no argument there.

As for the seasons, we do have places in California we can go for seasons. I can be up to the snow in a 2 hour drive. My wife and I have a vacation place in the mountains in an area called Big Bear. It is gorgeous. We have played in the snow in the early afternoon and then driven home and walked the dogs on the beach in the evening.

We might not have the changing of the leaves and seasons like that, but we also don't have to scrape our windshields in the morning, drive and walk through the muck and salt and grime, and we also don't have to worry about things like the Dew Point or what the barometer is reading that day.

About to sample my first In-n-Out burger. Cannot wait. My order is up next.

Oregon State goes to In-N-Out Burger after UCLA upset

Sep 22, 2012
By Jesse Yomtov, USA TODAY

In-N-Out Burger is known throughout the country as perhaps the finest fast-food joint in existence.

Unfortunately, all 281 of its locations are in Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Texas, and the closest restaurant to Corvallis, Ore., is in Redding, Calif., 356 miles away.

After upsetting No. 19 UCLA in Los Angeles on Saturday, Oregon State head coach Mike Riley decided to treat his players to the delicacy, and tweeted that the team would be going to the hallowed ground of beef:

"Just finished our business in LA, now it's time for a little fun, headed to In-N-Out as a team! #GoBeavs2012"

...

"We weren't joking, double-doubles for everyone! Great win! #GoBeavs2012"

...

"Of course, these guys deserved it!!!"

...

But it's just Wendy's with a reputation........ Wait forgot those italics again.
