Waiting for the first post that blames In-N-Out for the CONSUMER’S stupidity.
Whoa! Sorry, I work in marketing ... Does In 'n' Out even have a marketing department? With that kind of press, first you alert your franchisees, then you honor orders for the burger (it's NOT like it's a difficult task) for a day or so. THEN you with good humor respond to the Twitter Kerfuffle in a lighthearted press conference at which time you offer 50 percent off for your stuff for the next eight or so hours. It's NOT that difficult!
I’ll have to remember to ask a buddy about this. We were traveling, and I think it was an “In-N-Out” stand that we stopped in at. He was bragging about growing up near one, and if you ask for it, they will make you a “secret” burger of some sort. But it’s not on the menu. Of course when he asked the gal at the one we were at she looked at him like he had two heads.
I imagine where he grew up the chef was a friend of an older brother or something and made up the “secret” burgers for them.
See #4. I only fault In ‘n’ Out for not knowing how to play it!
OK, I didn’t wait long.
It’s simply astonishing how many businesses these days have absolutely no idea how to make lemonade out of lemons ... and after that “motivational poster” has been up in their break rooms for 30 years!
Idiots. Don’t these clowns realize that INNO has not changed their menu for the past 50 years??? It’s still the same 3 menu combo and that’s why it succeeds, in some weird way. I’m lucky here in Hollywood that there’s an In N Out AND Chick Fil A 2 blocks between each other which is rare.
“There is no such thing,” said Carl Van Fleet, In-N-Out’s vice president of planning and development. “For a variety of reasons, we’re unable to prepare burgers in the manner that a few websites have described as ‘Monkey Style.’”
Well, considering how much interest this seems to have garnered, a good executive would probably try to take advantage and find a way to serve up what the customers want, eh?
I live less than 2 miles from the second ever In N out in SoCal. I kinda grew up eating them.
Nowadays I think they suck!
Actually, that sounds pretty good!
Same here - lucky in Ventura County.
In the 101 Freeway corridor there’s ‘In N Out’ between Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park; Camarillo; and Ventura - ones closest to us.
Chick Fil A in Ventura.
I’ve seen monkeys and their “style”.
Good grief, you dummies, put it on the menu right now, and make sure the profit margin is high. Run with it. It’s not as if you don’t already have all the necessary ingredients.
It’s a pity that In-and-Out doesn’t exploit this as a “limited time offer”. They might be able to do it like McDonald’s offers the McRib.
Otherwise, *some* Starbucks have an elaborate secret menu, for those who like their liquid candy with a vaguely coffee flavor:
Zebra Mocha (combination of white-chocolate and chocolate mocha)
Red-Tux aka Bleeding Penguin (Mocha w/raspberry flavoring)
Chocolate Dalmatian (java chips and chocolate chips to a white chocolate mocha)
Raspberry Cheesecake (white chocolate mocha is added with a few shots of raspberry. Whipped cream and vanilla sprinkles are optional)
Nutella (Cafe Misto with a shot of both chocolate and hazelnut syrup, along with a real drop of caramel)
Three C’s (Cinnamon Dolce latte + Caramel syrup + Chocolate mocha syrup)
Short Cappuccino (Italian style. Less milk and a stronger flavor)
Cafe au Lait (Misto without foam)
Marble Mocha Macchiato (White mocha on the bottom with no whip, shot on the top and mocha drizzle)
Short Drink (Just a small coffee)

Banana Cream Pie (Vanilla Bean creme with vanilla and hazelnut syrups, whipped cream, and a whole banana)
Biscotti

Oh shucks. I thought this was because the had the N word, er, that is letter in their name.
The best thing about In-N-Out is that they don’t have franchisees.....all company stores.
Seems to me like the fries would turn to mush in about one minute. I like them crisp
