In-N-Out Burger
I grew up in Southern California. Because of that, I’ve been eating at In-N-Out pretty much since I was born. I’ll tell you right now, that it’s about the best stuff in the whole world. For those of you who have never eaten there, I don’t think you’ll ever understand, until you finally try it.
There’s just something about the spongedough bun, never-frozen, freshly grilled beef patties, fresh-cut veggies, cheese, and sautéed onions that really makes your mouth water. (Shoot, now I’m craving another one right now.)
I think the best part is that In-N-Out knows exactly what works. They don’t have a huge, complicated menu with fifty-seven different sandwiches. There’s no chicken, no fish. This is just good old burgers that taste absolutely amazing. And because the menus are about the simplest in the world, you usually don’t have to worry about long waits, or even complicated decisions at the counter.
For me, it’s always just “Two Double-Doubles, animal style, with a lemonade.” Ah, I miss that. I miss it right now…
The most interesting thing, though, is the people who have no idea what you’re talking about when you say “In-N-Out.” They just kind of look at you strange, and when you try to explain it, they just can’t understand what’s so amazing about some burger joint. But then you say, “It’s not just a burger joint, this is In-N-Out!” And then you just get stared at.
Oh well. I’m starving now, so I’m going to go get something to munch on. Bring on the vending machine!
