Ah, In-N-Out - one of the finest things about Southern California. Lousy fries, great shakes, best fast food burgers I’ve ever found. Better than some quality restaurants, too. I’ve been addicted since college (where I also became addicted to Roberto’s Tacos). When I want them lighter, I get my double-doubles protein-style.

Everyone of my canadian relatives and family that visited this summer, I brought them there. In N Out is just too crowded and I’m blocks away from BOTH Chick Fil A and In N Out in Hollywood..

I wouldn’t mind a Jack-in-the-Box. Last time I was in California (last year), I went to one. Big-@$$ burger with toppings, wrapped in a paper sleeve so that it wouldn’t go all over you and the table as your were eating it.

Burger King was pretty good as I remember it.

macDonalds..DRY and Sparse.

that about covers my “chain store” burger knowledge

“a lease in the Metropolitan,”

As if I should know it....ah, yet another brand-new monstrosity closing in on the Mall and making parking impossible there.

“The restaurant, which has locations in Asia and the Middle East”

Figures their next aim would be Kolumbia. We LOVE diversity until it kills us here.

I only just found out that this In-n-Out is a Christian outfit, thanks to my L.A. brother.

For all the discussion of it on FR, I’ve not seen anyone mention it is more overtly Christian than Chick-Fil-A (which does NOT print biblical things on anything).

[the OlLine Rebel]

Funny thing is Kolumbia actually HAD a Jack-in-the-Box back in the ‘70s. My sister (RIP) worked there for a bit at Wilde Lake.

The Rampart store has quite the crowd on an early Saturday or Sunday morning. It was good to be young and have an iron clad stomach.

That one store alone made the owner(s) wealthy. SoCal has a lot of options for excellent burgers. Florida, not so much.

Nothing like a Tommy’s chili burger at 3 am.

I once ate one while wearing a tuxedo.

I worked at the Anaheim theme park, in the 90’s. One Sunday, I had to open the accounting office at 7:00am (open 7 days a week). I had a flat, and lived about 25 miles away, so I really had to haul @$$ , to make it on time. Not a problem, freeway was wide open, till about Anaheim Stadium area. Big old Cadillac was doing about 45 in the fast lane. I passed on the right, and was about to lay into the guy, with my horn. Glad I didn’t, it was Carl, on his way to church.

I don’t think he could see much past the hood ornament :)

Taco Bravo is more an experience . .

The Counter opened close to us in Mt. View a year ago. I still haven’t been there. Sounds like it’s worth a try. Clark’s on El Camino is the local institution that’s hard to give up.

The best burgers are often those you get at Mom and Pop's. There was some sort of chain of burger joints in my area that must have gone belly up before I was born.

Now they're each standalone restaurants which serve everything from breakfast, to burritos, to burgers. And some of them are really, really good.

And most of them serve steak fries, which are my favorite and something you can't get at most chains except for Red Robin.

Absolutely. These guys have survived a LONG time, too. Great food and a nice old-time atmosphere from a simpler day. Interesting they were founded the year WW II ended.
