Overhyped Shit

[Anonymous No.5517563]

Remember back when In-N-Out was exclusive only to the west coast, particularly in most parts of southern california?

People used to rave about how good it was to make the east coast jealous.

Since its gone nationwide though everyone knows that In-N-Out is nothing special so why do Southern Californians still rave about this place?

They don't give you enough fries, and they just taste like chewy potatoe chips anyway. Also on a busy day, they won't make you a 4x4, and some restaurants have cut them out completely.

People still wanna feint over how good this place is even though it's just average. Keep showing your shit taste in food though.

As a big fan of burgers and coming from Houston, where I've had some of the best burgers ever, it's definitely overrated. It's good though, don't get me wrong. The fries aren't great. But the burgers are halfway decent.

is it good?
yes
better than the average fare at mcdonalds
is it the best you've ever had
no, it's not perfect so theres always going to be a couple things you don't like with it
take 5 guys
I like their burgers, but I don't like their fries
and I don't like how all the ones in my state dump a bunch of greasy hot fries all over my burger
yes I want to eat the burger first and then graze on fries until I'm full
if I eat the fries first, I don't know if I will be able to finish the burger
(okay I will, but I don't like being that full)

Are you fucking kidding? Have you ever even been to California? You do realize that there's more to the state than just LA, right? Because while yes, LA is full of pompous assholes, there's another 163,193 square miles of the state. And there's lots of people in those miles that are disgruntled and have issues with the state or are trying to initiate change. That whole persona you are trying to attribute is a caricature. That's like saying everyone from Massachusetts is an Irish Catholic thug, or everyone from New York state is a self absorbed prick with identity issues, or everyone from Texas is a redneck, or everyone from North Carolina are hillbillies. It just doesn't apply.

CA has awesome weather and once you get outside the metro areas it isn't much more expensive than any other state. Has plenty of rural places. Farms. Produces the most agriculture.

Whataburger is my top pick. The menu is extensive and they'll make everything exactly how you want it. The best part though is that there isn't a dud on the whole menu, everything there is good. The fries are legit too, lots of places make a good burger but have shitty fries.

To understand In-N-Out's acclaim you have to understand what Fast Food was like in the West Coast all the way up to the mid-2000s.

Everything was SHIT except for In-N-Out and your mom and pop joints. Fast Food was greasy and nothing was fresh. In-N-Out was a shining beacon for those who only had change in their pocket. Everything is cut fresh, the meat is decent, and the cheese isn't plastic.

Since then and since In-N-Out went national the fast food chains have improved exponentially. Hell even McDonald's has gotten much better and Wendy's makes a good greasy burger today. I don't know if it's fresher or if they just improved the process for their premade produce but it definitely tastes better.

So In-N-Out isn't as extraordinary as it was back then. And you've got more trendy/expensive places to eat like Five Guys. Still when I only have $10 in my wallet I'll go to In-N-Out because I know the burger will be decent and their coffee is actually great.

I've tried Five Guys around here in San Bernardino.
The first time I tried it it was really good, but ever since I haven't enjoyed it as much.
The problem I think is that the bacon was perfect the first time, slightly soft and crispy,
but ever since it's just been straight crunchy which I don't enjoy.

The places are usually quite empty except for peak time and their choice of location,
they never have a building of their own, always attached to a shopping area.

In-N-Out is great for the price, I've tried way better burgers, but they cost so much more that I only get them once a month or so.

Totally agree. Same thing happens with Five Guys on the east coast. I had never seen a five guys till I was in North Carolina and everyone raved and said how amazing it was and I had to go.

First McDonald's was my favorite. Then I turned 12 and had Fuddrucker's for the first time. But they kept making the burgers too dry.

Then, right before I turned 21, some weird place called "Culver's" opened up, about a fifteen minute drive away. Jesus christ. Triple butter burger with cheese, large order of onion rings, sweet potato fries, and fucking MALTS. I had all of those for a first meal there. Compared to McD's bullshit usually being the closest thing near me, Culver's blew me away, man. I can't go all the time since I'd like to save gas, but you know, like once a month I'll drive up there on my cheat day with about two or three beers in me and WHAMMO. Plus their TVs are always on SPORTS and not the fucking news, so that's another plus.

Nationwide? What is this faggotry?

Are they great burgers? No. Are they great fast food burgers? Yes.

And yeah the fries suck, I think they get slightly better if you order them well done. Then at least it's like a crunchy potato chip
