Rising Cost of Food Spurs Price Hike at In-N-Out Burger

NBC Bay Area ^

I like Fat Burgers in soCal.

The one on El Camino just off I-5 changed it’s name but the menu is the same.

Good skinny fries also.

One of the best TV commercials of all time, IMHO

that pretty much always happens

A store/chain opens, has high quality and good value, then as their costs go up, their quality goes down to prevent price increases.

This is happening with food in general as well.

I can no longer afford fish because it’s so expensive. Beef is wildly expensive, even chicken is getting up there. Where will it all end?

Where will it all end?

when you are on diet of salt and dryer lint.

[Little Bill]

I don’t eat fish but I cut my own steaks and roasts from primal cuts, cheaper.

I also cut and bone my whole chickens, store bought cheaper.

Where will it all end?

Societal collapse.

[miss marmelstein]

What brand chicken to you buy? I only buy Kosher (better tasting). I usually buy whole chickens. Anything that is butchered, obviously, is going to be cheaper. But I’m not a butcher!

Love Fuddruckers. Only problem is they will not cook a hamburger rare. If my burger is on the grill for more than a minute on each side then might as well call it a hockey puck.

[Little Bill]

Kosher your own, there are instructions on the net. Get some good knives that is the secret, and keep them very sharp.

I use Japanese laminated steel knives and a sharpener designed for the blade angle and a steel.

Look up how to butcher the meat, easy. If you want to Kosher the meat, see above, I use a Kosher recipe on my Brisket excellent.

[miss marmelstein]

If you have the time, I’d love your Brisket recipe. Only if you have the time. You can leave it on my private message.

Every now and then I hit the fuddruckers out on 26 heading out of Columbia SC.

5 guys is good but there is a local called Zestos that I love.

[Little Bill]

Will do.

[sheana]

We don’t really do fast food of any kind but hubby loves In and Out. I have never really liked their burgers.

[miss marmelstein]

Thank you!!!!!

[miss marmelstein]

I’m not crazy about 5 Guys. I don’t know why - I think it’s the expense. We can never get out of there for over 20 bucks and we’re two people. And it doesn’t taste as good as it should.

Anyone have any opinions on White Castle? The original slider!

[jttpwalsh]

Yes, indeed: 23621 El Toro Rd, Lake Forest, CA

[who_would_fardels_bear]

I never got to White Castle’s when I was in the area, but I have had Denny’s sliders and they were pretty good.

[jttpwalsh]

They start their employees out at $10/hour, minimum wage be darned. If you want to see hope for America’s youth, pay a visit. The kids are well groomed, well mannered, courteous, hard working, and professional. If someone told you that Eisenhower was President, while you are there, you might believe it, they really hearken back to a bygone era :)

Here in Jersey we used to have a stand alone, Fat Mikes, on Rt 17 south of Paramus.

Don't know if it's still there. They had a burger called the Garbage Can. It was interestingly good.

Burger King had an option on nearby land. They had to give it up.
