Comments on: In-N-Out Burger and their ‘secret’ menu. http://soupbelly.com/2010/01/25/in-n-out-burger-and-their-secret-menu/ A blog about food and photography. Mon, 21 May 2012 17:12:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Liz http://soupbelly.com/2010/01/25/in-n-out-burger-and-their-secret-menu/comment-page-1/#comment-66546 Liz Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:21:03 +0000 http://soupbelly.com/2010/01/25/in-n-out-burger-and-their-secret-menu/#comment-66546 I think Texan's comment was aimed at Memoria's, and not the author of this blog. Also Californian (born and raised), I'm probably expected to defend In-n-Out as it is the majority of the state's favorite fast food restaurant. Texan explained it best. The fries have to be eaten immediately, and for that I can't stand. But it is because they truly are fresh. There's no messing around. We have to appreciate businesses that understand the importance of using fresh ingredients. Food aside, they take great care of their employees (paying well over minimum wage) and in turn the employees take care of their customers. Which reminds me of a picture I saw recently. Who knows how true it is, but I've read and heard similar things about McDonald's meals (just to throw out a fast food competitor!): http://i.imgur.com/MTdud.png I think Texan’s comment was aimed at Memoria’s, and not the author of this blog.

It's just so fresh, and it's always so easy to have them make things exactly how you want. I'm not the biggest fan of the animal-style burger, however the animal-style fries are one of my favorite things EVER...something about the combination of fresh fries, cheese, grilled onions, and the sauce is just awesome. I mix mine up in a separate cardboard box, so all of my fries are covered, but that's just me...anyways. The cheeseburgers are awesome, but I tend to say light sauce.

When it gets too cheesy, peppers are great! I'm from LA and love In n Out to death, but it wasn't always that way.

And, of course, you are entitled to have an opinion without others thrashing you for it. But the fact is, in SoCal, In-n-Out is the holy grail of fast food burgers to many people. And those In-n-Out fanatics will defend their favorite burger joint to the end. Like you, I'm not particularly crazy about burgers, but to people who are, any negative comments about In-n-Out is like insulting their mothers. So, if you get any more angry feedbacks, it's just best to take it with a grain of salt. Very nice photos, btw. Candy, I think your review was fair and well written.

Luckily, my mom is retired and living in Las Vegas and her home is approximately 7 miles from her house and conveniently on the way from the airport. Needless to say, that is my first stop EVERY time I get into town. I love In-N-Out so much that I had to dedicate a whole post to it. <a href="http://www.goodfinancialcents.com/in-n-out-burger-secret-menu-why-i-love-it/" title="Reasons Why I Love In-N-Out Burger: It’s No Secret" rel="nofollow">.

They'll be crispy and crunchy the way other fast food fries are, but taste WAY better. And instead of ketchup, ask for some packets of their secret sauce to dip your fries in.
