okay because they'd need to install a separate grill never mind

otoh i don't care, just fry that shit with the real person burgers and i'll take my lumps
I don't give a shit about whether or not they use the same grill tbh. I know enough about restaurant food to know that most things you think are "veg" have probably been "tainted" in some way. I would welcome a veggie patty grilled right along side all the meat ones but you're right that most don't. Burger King does but not all locations offer it. It's actually pretty good too.

Yeah, I think that was my verdict a while back - In 'n Out has the better burger, and Five Guys has better fries. But that peanut oil on the latter can be a little much, and you can really taste the potato if you order your In 'n Out fries "light."

if in-n-out opened in nyc it would probably destroy manhattan economy, line would reach the moon
if shake shack opened in la some people would probably go once in a while

btw in n out's popularity out in socal is so insane now. when I was growing up people knew about it but it wasn't a destination thing. their efficiency is pretty fuckin scary, I went on saturday night and the car line was almost out to the street but it just zipped right along and the chow was still A+

kinda blame big liebowski for the in-n-out thing. there is a whole generation fo kids raised on in-n-out as a Thing, now, and like a destination spot.

I would dig a 24-hour in-n-out. la people, are there any in la?
If memory serves the big INO in Las Vegas is 24 hours, but none in LA.
Best INO burger ever is the one next to LAX after a long flight.

In-n-out is a shitty burger, but I can't vote because I've never had Shake Shack
― milo z, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
q: what is a good (fast food) burger? to me it is good beefy taste with enough fat and not too compressed, and a toasted roll w/ decent not mealy tomatoes for a side.
― remy bean in exile, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:57 (twelve years ago) link
ooohhh I hate mealy tomatoes

idk chick-fil-a in hollywood was pretty damned crowded when i went a few months ago. i think curious natives plus homesick transplants would mean a pretty brisk business at least at first
― monomaniatee (t. silaviver), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 22:01 (twelve years ago) link
you can only really be homesick for shake shack if you moved to la pretty recently! but yeah I don't think it would go out of business or anything, but it wouldn't be ****an event**** in the same way.

nyc goes nuts over any chain restaurant that they don't have already, i.e. potbelly.

Voted Shake Shack: Have never been to In-n-Out and am vegetarian
― edb, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 23:28 (twelve years ago) link
of these, only been to the shake shack (had a milkshake in NYC and a burger & fries in DC) but voted in-n-out
I like Nifty-Fifty's but when it comes to Del-Val local places I will forever rep for The Charcoal Pit

best bet for the aforementioned LAX in-n-out location is to take some time to hang outside and watch the plans fly in about 100 ft overhead. the burgers at in-n-out are great (also: pie and burger in pasadena has virtually the same burger and might be a little better, but it's not fast food, really) i used to like fatburger but i lost the taste for it. the umami burger fellas are in the process of trying to do a counter service type of chain for their brand, which will be interesting to see (though umami is also overrated, moreso than in-n-out.)

i voted shake shack even though i haven't had it in like 5 years. in-n-out is good, but shake shack is next level.
and we have five guys here now, in a few locations.

24-hour in-n-out sounds like something that happens in silence of the lambs, how could anyone eat there?

just spent the week in Cali and i would like to restate my unpopular position that no matter how good In-N-Out's burgers and shakes are they get the gasface for those shitty french fries
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Wednesday, 28 December 2011 04:42 (twelve years ago) link
i think a lot of people agree with you re the fries.
they're better if you order them "well done."

i worked for three years right next to the LAX In-N-Out and it was always insanely busy, planes overhead every two minutes...
