| - Being from the Midwest, I only hear stories about In-N-Out. Until my visit to this location, I had never tried In-N-Out, and to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed.
I'm not very adventurous so I got a Double-Double Zed. No veggies. No sauce. Just meat and cheese on a bun. The bun was nice. Burger decent. Good, but I've had better. My biggest issue was the fries.
I struggled for a while to come up with a description on why I didn't like the fries. They were crispy and salty, but something didn't taste right. Then I figured it out, they were dry inside. Good fries are warm and pillow-y inside and crispy and salty on the outside. The easiest way to achieve this is to double fry them. First on a lower temp, then second time on a high temp to crisp them up. Many other places achieve this by par cooking and then freezing the fries so they only need to be cooked once more on site. In-N-Out prides themselves on using fresh ingredients, so they aren't doing this. The problem is, they were probably only cooked once, and probably overcooked as well. That's why the fries weren't any good. I tried to eat them with ketchup, but it didn't help. I threw away most of my portion of fries.
I don't know if this is the norm at all In-N-Outs or if this was an aberration at this site on this day, but I don't know if I'd recommend In-N-Out. Guess it's just a West Coast thing.
