Double-double dumb: America wants a vegetarian In-N-Out option?
Hot air ^ | SEPTEMBER 26, 2016 | ED MORRISSEY

So it’s not as though In-N-Out is missing out on an untapped market. The same people who supposedly demand a vegetarian “option” begrudge the meat-eating “option” enough to take a pass. Besides, getting 24,000 signatures on this petition is a joke. They have 300 locations serving up thousands of burgers daily to people who like their product. They’re not going to get too concerned about 24,000 people signing up for a political diktat run by a group that’s half a continent away from its nearest grill.

This is the very definition of elitism, and its almost-always-present ignorance and arrogance. America doesn’t want a veggie burger at In-N-Out. A few busybodies want to shame In-N-Out (and its customers) for its success, and couldn’t care less whether they ever eat there or not.

Earlier, I mentioned the simplicity of the menu, but there is a small caveat to that. Longtime customers know that In-N-Out has a few off-menu options. The front-page image is the 4×4, a twist on the Double-Double that has four meat patties and four slices of cheese, taken right before I devoured it. That should be enough to make GFI run for the nearest Good Earth Restaurant — which, by the way, is excellent as well. One person can easily enjoy both experiences. That’s what is so great about free markets and consumer choice.

I did not say they were identical in menu.

I said the concept was similar.

Have a simple menu but do everything well.

Maybe it's just me, but anywhere I've seen Vegetarian/Vegan restaurants open, they've closed quickly thereafter.

As long as it's PRIVATE money opening them, I don't care. Lose all the money you want!

“I would say “some” Americans want a vegie burger.”

No one in that group would be 100% pleased if a veggie burger were offered anyway. They’d complain that the bun was made with high fructose corn syrup.

Went to High School with In-N-Out President Richard A. Snyder of Newport Beach, circa 1969...We had an IN-N-Out on the corner by the school.
