| - So, after years of hearing about In-N-Out, I finally decided to try it. All fast food burgers are seen through the prism of Five Guys, so, with that in mind, I tried the basic, no frills, no quasi-secret menu hamburger, fries and chocolate shake.
The verdict: not bad...not bad at all. I'm still a Five Guys fanatic...there are times I would kill for a double with fried onions, jalapeƱos, relish and mustard...mmmmm...sorry, slipping into food fugue state...stay focused...
The burger was tasty and moist, the toppings and bun fresh. The fries were okay (The use of peanut oil for Five Guys fries really sets them apart) and the shake, while good, wasn't up the standards of another fast food franchise, Carl's Jr.
While my love - perhaps even unholy lust - for Five Guys (insert joke here...I'm not doing all the work for you) has not been shaken, In-N-Out makes a respectable burger and will be getting my business again. Like the most satisfying fast food places - Five Guys, Canes - they focus on doing one thing - burgers - and doing it well. I'm looking forward to trying an Animal Style next.
