I get what people mean when they say in n out is overrated, but that's because people make it out to be like this god-tier burger place, it's not.

The only thing that makes them worth it is the sloppy gooey flavor you get from mixing the cheese and onions with the watery mayonnaise and ketchup spread.
It's not something that hits you right away, it grows on you.
Of course, if you don't live near one, you wouldn't understand.

I guess? I dunno. They started those up in Texas a year before I moved. I was very disappointed because I waited 45 minutes for a very average burger. So yes, you're right-- I had my mind made up it was going to be so amazing because Califags nut over this shit. So it was a huge letdown. But I don't think it would have grown on me on subsequent trips. I mean, I've gone to other burger joints where the very first experience was just mind blowing. I'm not apt to keep revisiting a place that isn't anything special. So proximity wouldn't have made a difference for me. It was a few blocks away and I still felt neutral about it.

Nope and I doubt there will be. They have very strict standards in terms of suppliers. I doubt they'd be willing to sacrifice those standards to ship the stuff all the way to the coast. That was the logic behind In n Out expanding into the Texas area. They wouldn't expand until they had a supplier set up so the travel time was very short. Once they had it up, the locations in the region exploded.

They just opened the first two up in Tucson a few years back and for a while the wait was ridiculous. People are so fucking dumb... they curse and spit and bitch and moan about it but they still wait 2hrs for a fucking burger. It's made even worse by all the hick fucks buying a weeks worth of dinners for their fat fuck families in the drive-thru.

After awhile the craze died down and the service got way faster. It's nothing special though... like most things, you get what you pay for. Great ingredients put together very well by well paid employees (so they actually give a fuck unlike normal fast food ppl), but you pay extra for the extra service. Haven't been there in quite a while since I quit fast food, but that's what I remember. Kinda reminds me of an overpriced roach coach.

The good thing about In N Out is that it should be quick, cheap burgers that taste better than regular fast food joints. If you're going to a grand opening and are waiting 45 minutes for a burger it's probably better just to go to a sit down burger joint. They appeal to In N Out is it's fast food that doesn't taste like fast food. Also it's cheap as fuck.

Cheap as-seen-on-TV stuff like the Foreman? Those suck because they are difficult to clean, don't have enough power to get a good sear on meats, and offer no advantage over a frying pan.

Or you mean the fancier ones like a commercial panini press? Those are great for some foods but they have the same issue the foreman does for other things--like burgers--which is that they squish the food while cooking and thus lose a lot of the juices.

If you're not eating at one in CA you're doing it wrong. They don't do it the same in Texas. I agree the Texas in n outs are just a regular burger joint.

Next time in Cali get a double double with whole grilled onions, med rare burger and extra toasted buns.

Then get a well done animal fries to go so the cheese melts more on the box.

And get it with a lemonade

Figures, Virginia isn't really considered part of the south anymore.

Most of my waffle house experiences have been passable, a few bad ones out on the road but plenty of decent times at the local ones and it always seems great when drunk. I just avoid the ones near hoods that are full of spooks and then the service and food seems to be fairly predictable. Oh and nowadays I tend to avoid the ones near university campuses, too many rowdy drunk students.

3rd world isn't in my criteria of what southern is. If something like "scrapple" was on the menu I would consider myself out of the south. The default type of tea is another good indication I've come across. Much of detroit is pretty 3rd world and I sure as shit don't consider it part of the south. For the sake of this board I was more referring to southern cooking anyway, not really any other factors. I've heard people say that the ozarks were "southern" and when I passed through that part of Missouri, it was certainly shitty but that didn't make it southern, it felt more like a weird parody of the south. I ordered a club sandwich at one place and it had fucking miracle whip on it, I didn't even know what that shit tasted like at the time I just knew the "mayo" tasted like ass and asked them what brand it was. I was appalled they would consider it proper to use that as a substitute.

I won't judge Virginia because the only place I've been there has been right outside of DC, just going by what I've read that most Virginians don't consider themselves part of the south. Maybe the waffle houses there taste like the ones in TN or GA or AL but from your description, I've just never had such an experience.

I've lived in Virginia my entire life, first around the DC area and now in Hampton Roads, and my experience has been that pretty much nobody in the NoVa area consider themselve southerners, and very few down here in the South consider themselves southern, at least not around the more urban areas.

you either think all Californians are Mexican or just plainly blind to how tan they should be

most people here don't go past the point of being sunkiss or slightly tan (if white)

if they're Mexicans, they'll still try to have lighter skin since that's what they prefer anyway. Southeastern Asians have the same preference in skin colour

Do americans not have italian restaurants? Sure, most of them don't deliver to your home but I rather go on a 20 minute dirve and get them myself than eating shitty pizza. Also, from what I have seen on /ck/ american pizza's got almost nothing to do with real pizza. Molten cheese inside the edges of the pizza - really, america, really?

I can't believe that of all the people who replied to you, nobody mentioned that the things you listed (thickness of patties, bacon, thousand island, etc.) have NOTHING TO DO with the freshness of the product.

Now I'm going to defend the burger.

In&Out line cooks tend to know what they're doing + the place has a very tight system... you're gonna get a thin patty, yes, but it's going to have a slight pinkness to it, i.e., it won't be dry and overcooked.

Also, In&Out has a huge leg-up on the rest of your mainstream burger drive-thrus: they have fresh buns and they toast them properly.

They have fine lettuce and tomato, and the grilled onions are a treat if that's your thing.

On the fact that they only have American cheese: know-it-all redditors who tell you "it's not cheese" aside, it's a classic milk product on a burger. It boosts the savory, meaty notes of the patty's brown crust without overpowering them.

The real knock against In&Out is their fries. While it's great to see them go fresh cut, they just cut them too thin and fry them too long or at too low of a temperature. The crispy ones you get from them are more akin to a vegetable straw while the soggy ones are just feel bad while eating them tier.

Now having said all that, people are wrong who think that In&Out Burger is some titan or culinary god. The cult following thing is a normalfag meme. While it is markedly better than most mainstream burger joints, your favorite local place is always going to be better, either by virtue of a burger with a thicker patty, more variety, or easiest of all, better fries.

I don't doubt you (it's definitely hit/miss), but never ever ever ever ever eat at a Waffle House you can't see from the interstate.

I've never had a problem there and have gotten consistently good food everytime. My problem stems from their staff and how everyone they hire is a qt3.14
