I hope this clone is close to as good!

The Counter is also close by. More pricey, but excellent quality with great toppings. The meat is so fresh they will serve it to you raw, though I usually go for medium rare.
The other advantage of these places: no long line of people waiting for a mediocre burger and horrendous fries.
Del Taco! Really?
Chipolte is better and ubiquitous.
What about Big Kahuna Burger?
It's the onions.
Sometime when you're in L.A., you should try Tommy's burgers.
In-n-Out. Local young men eat there 2x week. The burgers, fries and shakes are very good and the customer service is excellent.
Del Taco. My brothers and I rode skateboard to Del Taco in Fullerton in the 70’s. Still good.
Habit. Always crowded and very good.
Tommy’s. Great hamburger with chili. Yum. Perfect preparation for heart problems (lots of salt).
Karl Karcher had seven kids go through Catholic schools in Anaheim and felt sad when Carl’s ads became soft porn in the late 90’s.
Wendy’s. The good favorite of seniors.
McDonalds. I wonder if they can recover from their shrinking business.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
DANG!
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.
“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).
