WHO CARES??!?!?! There are two In-N-Outs (that I know of) opening in Utah County this year. Whoopidy-doo!! Shane and I were discussing this - so glad I married him :) We both agreed that we could care less and that we will not be eating at either of the "coming soon" restaurants.
It is a hamburger. Guess what.... there are about 50 other major/small chains that serve hamburgers too! And they taste just as good, if not better. Ok, I'm not saying that In-N-Out is bad at all, but come on people, it is a hamburger. It's not cooked in gold or served on silver platters. You don't get fanned with giant palm branches by goddesses draped in silk while eating there... (too far?)
To be perfectly honest, I would choose a McDonald's $.89 hamburger over any other hamburger at ANY time. I do love those golden arches.
When I lived in Logandale and would take the occasional trip into Vegas with my friends, we just HAD to stop at the INO on Tropicana --- why??? Because it is a big fat novelty from California - and because it's from California, it is "cool". Because the owner is so selective about where he will allow his stores to be, it is "special". Because their menu is so simple it's "vintage".
(I still love my friends though :) It's not their fault that they were sucked into the black-hole )
I'm not trying to stir anything up or offend any INO lovers out there - but just know this, it's not that great.
Story to tell:
My Senior year, I told one of my friends that I liked Iceberg better than In-N-Out (still true). He told me, "turn around, face the wall, and think about what you just said...". It was funny; you had to be there.
Some people reading this were there and are hopefully laughing right now
*sigh*

Aw, I am not offended by this at all. One of my hubbys friends came down from Utah and we were the first ones to take him to In-n-out. We were shocked that he told us it wasn't as great as a hamburger joint in Utah! Larry and I are determined to make the trip up there and try that place. Although I am a HUGE fan, I have to say that I am not liking their hamburgers much these days (probably because I am preggo), but I am in love with their grilled cheese protein style with grilled onions, and their animal style fries! Yummmm! I think you just decided what we will be having for lunch today! lol!
ReplyDeleteOh I am SO offended! ;) Bonnie it's not just any hamburger... it has the awesome pink spread on it. The fries are so delish plus if you go through the drive through you can watch them cut up fresh potatoes. Mmmm... haven't been there in awhile. I think I will have to stop by sometime soon!
ReplyDeletePS- My husband won't eat there because he doesn't like it either. :(
haha...loved this post! It is sooo you! :) And I totally remember that last part. Good times...lol. I have to say I am a fan of in-n-out but I'm definitely not obsessed with it like a lot of people. Everytime I'm in St. George there is a huge line for the drive through! So I've never eaten at that one...not worth the wait. Like you said "it's just a hamburger." But come on...McDonalds?? Gross. It's way better that McDonalds. :)
