In-N-Out Burger

A hark back to the day when California produced excellence. Let's hark together. TD

In-N-Out Just Made a Big Announcement   

Plus, the employees are always efficient and genuinely friendly, and I can’t say that you’d have anywhere near the same experience with a bag of burgers sitting on a shelf after ordering them online.


"When it comes to a fast food burger, there’s no shortage of incredible options for convenient, quick, and delicious meals. Of course there are the classics, such as McDonald’s Big Mac, Wendy’s Baconator, and the Burger King Whopper. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, you may even spend a few extra bucks on a specialty burger from Shake Shack or Five Guys. While I’ll never say no to a perfectly juicy and delightfully greasy cheeseburger, there is one particular chain that has my heart: In-N-Out.
"As a California local, I’d be doing my home state a disservice to say that I’d rather have another burger from a national chain, because the truth is a Double-Double with extra grilled onions really is just that good. Plus, when Animal-Style fries and a hand-spun Neapolitan milkshake are on the table, anything else is simply out of the question.
"But while I am loyal to my In-N-Out, there is one element in particular that I’ll admit gives other fast food chains more appeal—and according to a new announcement from the company, In-N-Out isn’t making a change to compete any time soon.
"In-N-Out Will Not Offer Mobile Ordering" . . . More...

Why In-N-Out always asks customers this seemingly head-scratching question


"In-N-Out actually pioneered drive-thrus at a time when drive-ins, like the iconic California restaurant featured in "American Graffiti," were starting their ascent on the American cultural landscape. The chain's growth and popularity have led to some fairly distinct characteristics associated with these car lines today, specifically their length and wait time. It's true that In-N-Out's drive-thru lines can sometimes wrap around the street corners, while people are willing to sit there for 30-plus minutes to get their high-quality, always-fresh fast food. But perhaps the long lines are simply a product of people taking a beat to consider this head-scratcher, asked at the speaker: Will you be eating in your car? As strange an inquiry as that might seem, it actually concerns how the workers will pack up your basic Flying Dutchman sandwich and fries." . . .
