| - There are a number of In-n-Out's around town at this point and, though it seems like everyone knows the 411 on this wonderful chain of delicious burgerness, we should keep in mind that our neighbors to the east may have never been to one.
So here's the deal: the menu has three different items, in a few different sizes. Those items are burgers, fries, and shakes. The burger can be a single patty cheese burger or a double, and the fries can be medium or large. Nothing really too complicated here, folks.
What will catch a first-time In-n-Outer off guard is how goddam delicious it all is. Greasy, yes, but they do use fresh veggie oil for fries and cut the potatoes in house.
There is also the famous "Secret Menu" that isn't posted in the restaurant. I am semi-familiar with it but it is mostly comprised of specialty orders, like grilled onions for your burger, called "Animal Style," or easier ways of calling out if you want extra tomatoes, or in the case of lettuce instead of the bun "protein style." Also, for a bigger burger (more than two patties) call it a 3 by 3 for three patties, 4 x 4 for four, etc.
The owners of the chain have been extremely careful with franchising and supposedly are keeping the owners within the family. Also, there is a widespread theory that the owners are Mormon, evidenced by Biblical citations on the bottom of drink cups and underneath fry baskets.
If that is true, that's just one more reason that Jesus would give these tasty burgers two thumbs up!
