In-N-Out
Burger
This is a Southern California staple and has become
a popular place to get a good burger for a good price. They can now be found in
several states, such as California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas. With everyone
watching their wallets these days and more and more burger joints popping up
all over town, I still find myself heading over to In-N-Out for a classic
double-double with an order of fries and an ice cold Dr. Pepper.
The burger doesn’t have any crazy ingredients that
come with it, just nice simple items that add to the flavor of the burger
patties. The burger normally comes with lettuce, tomato, spread (like a
thousand island dressing) and onions if you like (either a whole slice or
grilled onions). But if you do not like the spread, you can opt out for ketchup
and/or mustard.
My usual burger is a double-single (two meats and
one cheese), with ketchup, lettuce and extra grilled onions. When you hear your
number being called, you walk up to the counter to receive your order of food
and you notice all the colorful ingredients in your burger. After getting back
to my table, I dive right into my burger and hear the crunch of the crisp
lettuce and get all the juices from the meat patties. You can taste the
freshness of the ingredients and enjoy the flavors of the burger, even though
these are simple, yet delicious ingredients. The grilled onions are cooked
perfectly to a caramel brown color and have a nice sweet taste that compliments
the ketchup on the burger. The bun is soft and fresh and has a nice sweet aroma
to it. As I take a few more bites, I then
need to start unwrapping the rest of the burger to continue my eating fest. The
burger patties are the biggest, as they are only about 1/8 of a pound per
patty, so don’t expect to fill yourself off of one single burger.
The fries are cooked from fresh potatoes in 100% cotton
seed oil. I will have to be honest; I’m not a big fan of the fries because it
will be hit or miss with how good the fries will come out. But when you get a
nice fresh batch of fries, you will need to eat them right away because they
taste the best when they are still hot.
In-N-Out offers a great selection of Coca Cola
products And Dr. Pepper), iced tea, lemonade, coffee, milk and (great) milk
shakes. I would recommend a chocolate
and vanilla mixed shake, as they are made with real ice cream mix. Of course they offer chocolate, strawberry
and vanilla, so you are able to get just a single flavor or a combination of
any of the three.
In-N-Out Burger is a great place to eat, that offers
great value for your money because it is not a fancy burger joints. Something
nice and simply, burgers, fries and drinks! They take their burgers seriously and
offer a quality product. Once you try it, you won’t be disappointed and will
find yourself going back for more. I would recommend that you give the burger a
try the way it comes (with or without onions) for your first time, and then you
can customize it as you want for your next visit. You can add extra
ingredients, patties, and cheeses to make it satisfy your hunger. OH and don’t
forget about the secret menu items!! J
