| - Food is my biggest weakness. Sometimes I won't even be hungry but will be drawn to eating something because 1. I've never tried it before or 2. because I wont have the chance elsewhere and well this was the case for In-n-out last week in Vegas.
We had eaten breakfast at Egg and I that morning and I had stuffed my face with pancakes, bacon, and eggs so I was planning on a light dinner. I spent the rest of the morning driving around and buying foodie goodies at random places I had bookmarked (Popped and Bouchon Bakery) So there had been close to NO exercise being done.
When I got back to the hotel one of the first things my sister suggested we do is go to in-n-out....She had just woken up from a 4 hour nap and she wants fast food? I was close to saying Sorry, no. But wait it's your 2nd to last day and you already decided your bringing Earls on the plane you won't have another chance said a devil voice in my head. Okay I said, let's go.
As we walked into In-N-Out I was instantly transported back in time. The decor, the uniforms, the basic menu were all so 50's. I was a little
surprised to see how simple the menu was but better for me, less decisions to make. Although I probably would have just stuck to fries at any other fast food place else my inner devil foodie demanded I try a burger so I went with the combo 1, a cheeseburger and fries.
My sister ordered before and got the infamous animal fries which I thought were only lathered with their special sauce...WRONG. They had melted cheese, the special sauce and grilled onions. Heartattack on the spot. :-)
Honestly I wish I had gone a little hungrier because although I was able to eat half my burger and 1/4 of the fries I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I may have after a night of drinking or on an empty stomach....Regardless, it was fresh fresh fresh for fast food and I was happy to see a guy making the fries from potatoes in the back..
I think next time I'll stick to an animal burger and regular fries..
I also have never seen such hard workers at a fast food joint, which definitely earns a star in my book!
