I love putting in n out fries in the burger. Add some ketchup and spread. Soo good.
You got to do something to hide the abomination they call fries.
How do you even get In ‘N Out if you live in Washington?
In No Out is better than most sit down restaurant burgers in my opinion .
They recently opened one in Oregon, just south of Portland. A good friend of mine drove there for six hours from eastern Washington, stood in line for hours, only to eat a burger and then drive back.
As someone else said, it's a cult. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid!

I used to do a fair amount of business in California, and I can’t count the number of times people wanted to go to lunch at in n out and show the out of town guy the best burger ever. Turns out it’s a pretty standard griddle burger (and I admit my bias toward grilled, but I still appreciate a good griddled burger) that you can get in countless mom and pop shops, but their greasy hideous attempt at French fries is truly horrific. Yeah yeah I know the beef is fresh and local, and you can order off menu, but there is truly nothing special about what they make. It’s a cult.
Yep, if you just took a plain burger of theirs and gave it to someone without telling them it was In N Out, they'd be, "That's OK". But put it in that red and white wrapper, make em wait in a line of 20 cars, suddenly they're Sam Jackson eating a Big Kahuna. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Just think of how many truly good burgers he drove past before he even got past Tacoma. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

In-N-Out is tasty and affordable and a clear cut above other fast food fair. In Los Angeles there are better options (though none at the price point) but it hits the spot from time to time. I would argue the real cult is the out-of-towners who just relentlessly attack it like a Double Double slept with their girlfriend. There’s a lot of super popular food that I don’t care for and for some reason I don’t froth at the mouth at the mention of it. A lot of people enjoy it and if someone doesn’t they don’t have to go _________________ 14-5-3-12

In-n-out fries taste like plastic paper, McDonalds fries are more better.
Pro tip: it’s really really hard to make good French fries out of fresh potatoes, and pretty impossible on an industrial fast food scale. Frozen fries are run through a dryer before they are par fried and frozen, so when you fry them at the point of sale, they don’t absorb too much oil and they aren’t too wet inside, and you get a crispy outside and fluffy interior. _________________ “We must always take sides.

I have been eating my own fries at home in recent months, but thanks for the heads up...

Lol, leaving aside the unintentional irony of the projection there, it’s not like people run around attacking in n out out of thin air, it’s almost always in the context of being told how much better it is than anything they’ve ever eaten. Saying the people who point out that in n out isn’t all that are the aggressors is kind of like saying people reporting crime is the crime problem. It’s just another example of the tone deaf cultish “you aren’t even allowed to express your opinion if you don’t love it” defensiveness. _________________ “We must always take sides.

You want to get some moisture out before you fry them. If you have the time and an air fryer, running them through the dehydration cycle, par frying them, and finishing them in the air fryer will give you absolute perfection. _________________ “We must always take sides.

You’ve been plenty aggressive about the issue, bordering on obsessive. I doubt you’ve encountered many who claim it’s better than anything they’ve ever eaten. I’ve lived here all my life and never heard that. You’d be surprised how big the range of responses would be if you polled Angelenos on the subject. It’s not the only local favorite. Put it this way. I’m far more likely to hear an out-of-towner say that Californians are cultish idiots for liking it than I am to hear an Angeleno gush about it. The closest cousin to it is the out-of-towner that likes to mock New Yorkers about their pizza, but it’s done with less vitriol. _________________ 14-5-3-12

Restaurant burgers are not for me. They’re typically way too thick, have some monstrosity for a bun (thankfully the brioche trend seems to be coming to a welcome end) and have excessive ingredients. Often a weird cheese. Stripped of their decadence. They’re for people who play golf. _________________ 14-5-3-12

Not even remotely true.
There are plenty of genuinely good and creative restaurants who have a style and menu that is more targeted to high quality "comfort" food without being an upscale Chilis.
The idea that because a restaurant offers a burger as one of the items on its menu means it has failed as a restaurant is as ridiculous as claiming an In N Out burger is better than just about anything else. I can think of several really good restaurants I have been to over the year who have burgers on their menu (and I don't mean on a kid's menu).
Now, will I go into a nice restaurant with an interesting and diverse menu and order a burger on my first visit? No. But there are certainly places with a solid and quality menu where I will try their burger after a few visits if the mood suits. To say that means I have failed as a diner or they have failed as a restaurant is pompous snobbery. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Not a bad option to grill a burger at home if people aren’t fan of fast food burgers especially since you are the 1 cooking the meat and making it however way you like.

Everyone has their pet obsession. Omar’s is hating In N Out. Yours is agreeing with Omar _________________ 14-5-3-12
