Hello (and then we started talking about IN-N-OUT burgers...)

chronic

old and in the way
Fatburgers are just good old-fashioned hamburgers that use real meat and decent cheese. If you watch them cook one, they take a big fresh glob-o-meat, drop it on the grill, flatten it out and cook it... no pre-formed frozen patties. Not sure if in-n-out uses fresh or frozen, but the burgers just don't taste as good, which is not to say that they're bad... just not as good.

But you know what they say about opinions.

They make real milkshakes too. I once left a half of a MacDonalds shake in the cup holder of my work van for a week and it was still thick. That just ain't natural and, if you think about it, is a little scary. I mean, what the hell do they put in those things?

IN-N-OUT does not freeze their hamburger and slap you mouth for even inferring that. It is all fresh.

They are all very good people. In the 80s I use to sell them they sweet relish the used in their secret sauce. They wanted me to sell them the mayonnaise but the company I worked for was afraid of the pressure of a big long commitment. They were not millionaire material.
I got to meet the people at their warehouse who made everything for the restaurants and they were cleaner than in a hospital operating room. In fact a year or two after I left, IN-N-OUT switched companies for sweet relish because the company I had left was below their standards.
The very perfect hamburger. People from Europe faint from the perfection. Only in California you weak sucks.

Ok, so I'm not from the west coast. I did live there for a stretch but was entirely too poor to aford fast food! After all this hype and the photos of the burgers, I must say that In-n-Out sounds like a party in my mouth! I do however have a hard time believeing that it can in any way be more satisfying than White Castle!

Comparing IN-N-OUT to White Castle is an exercise in futility. Like trying to choose your favorite child. Sadly, we live in a world where these two giants of American cuisine choose to occupy opposite coasts of this great land.

And they'll substitute a handful of those big, crunchy lettuce leaves for the bun if you order your burger "protein style." A double-double protein style is a marvel to chomp.

Yes.

There's a place in Costa Mesa called,"E-Z Burger Take Out" that tries to copy In-N-Out Burger, and they have the look but no quality or taste.

White Castle hamburgers are being used to block the oil spill in the gulf.

and all my vegetarian friends(all 2 of them) always order the grilled cheese, which they tell me is everything sans the meat? What a waste...

We don't have In-N-Out here. Damn!
Those two last pictures really make me want to try.
Mc and King are boring after a while, can In-N-Out and White Castle please cross the Atlantic?
There'd be plenty of customers.

Are In-N-Out strictly confined to California? Or can they be found in bordering states? Guess I could google the info but tire of that route sometimes. Certainly none exist in the Midwest. White Castle joints are everywhere here.

Never had in and out anywhere but CA. but according to wikipedia they are also in Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

Where you'll also find this interesting fact: There are currently 240 locations (as of November 2009) with no location more than one day's drive from the Baldwin Park, Ca distribution center.

ayyy and though I have $24.00 left in my pocket, till next Friday, I think I may now head to in and out! Shit!

Thanks, nervas, for the info. Use to buy vintage paperbacks from an ebay seller located in Portland, Oregon and recall from his me page he was big-time in to collecting In-N-Out paraphernalia.

This link says it all.

Nothing more than a one day drive from their Baldwin Park distribution center.

I use to deal with them directly but back in the early 80s. They are a top notch company that owns all of their locations.

They use to have bumper stickers to put on your car and people use to cut them like this:

The real bumper sticker on top and the customized sticker below. In the day there were thousands of cars with the customized versions.

OK - wish I could defend White Castle burgers as anything other than Drive-Up Homicide.

There's a reason that the famous "Law and Order" episode used WC-like burgers to make a suspect shit out a diamond. Well-done, detectives....
