LOL at all the experts that have been to a place once and declare they are experts.
So here's the thing about In N Out..... After you have it many, many times, you come to appreciate that it's made with the freshest ingredients, and to perfection every single time.
I get that if you've been their once, you can see it as over rated, but when you've had this excellent product over and over again at a price that's very reasonable, you develop a loyal following to it.
There's nothing like a double-double just off the grill. The piping hot burger, contrasted by the ice cold lettuce, with pickles and tomatoes is a taste sensation like having a fine wine compliment a meal.
I personally like the french fries. They are cut fresh right in front of you. No cancer causing chemicals added! You need to eat them right away, which is why we always dine in. They aren't the greatest if you take them home, but all fries get soggy to some degree when you wait to eat them.
And then after you've been a zillion times, you learn the cool history of the place and the fact they pay all their employees well over minimum wage, even starting out.
I grew up in So Cal and moved away 7 years ago. It's the only thing I miss and the first thing I'll hit in Vegas to tomorrow.
