Now, he's back to rethink fast food entirely
Will Young wasn’t even sure his order was possible. He’d heard rumors, of course, but as a kid who’d grown up on the internet of the 1990s, he knew that website whispers didn’t always translate to the real world. He and his buddies, out for a meandering night in Las Vegas, would just have to ask.
So, around dinner time on Halloween night in 2004, Young’s laid-back group, including the late Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, stepped up to the counter of a Nevada In-N-Out to test their fate. Would it be possible, they wondered, to make a classic double-double, but with 98 extra patties and 98 extra slices of cheese?
Sure, the workers said after some thought and a chuckle. Why not?
In-N-Out’s famous 100-by-100 burger was born.
“It was no grand plan,” Young recalled, nearly 22 years later, when reached by phone at his home in Walnut Creek. “We just asked. We thought they’d say no.”
Sure enough, the famously affable workers said they’d give the burger a shot. The order took a while, and it must have been hell on the grill cooks, but in the end, the gang got their wish. The evening shift even fashioned an improvised caddy for the behemoth, sliding together cardboard boxes to fit the whole thing. One bun at the top, one at the bottom, and a century of meat and cheese in between.
“That was the end of our night, of course,” Young said with a laugh, “because we ate it, felt terrible and didn’t go out after.”

“Would it be possible, they wondered, to make a classic double-double, but with 98 extra patties and 98 extra slices of cheese?” I sure hope it had bacon on it too.
Culver’s is far superior to Wendy’s.

The Culver’s near me smells of old fish fry grease.
In, but not out, burger.
The superficial lives of San Franfreakos.
That’s unfortunate.

Wendy’s is very good. I like their “Son Of Baconator’’, fills you up for sure.
In my neck of the woods there is still a “Roy Rogers’’.
Just came back a little while ago with two large RB’s for me and the MRs.
That fills you up too.
The only Roy Rogers left that I know of is in Front Royal, VA.
I used to get the RR bar burger.
Get cute and order the ten to the second , ten to the second burner please.
to much time to piddle away
No bacon at in’n’out.
Just a double-double between two tomato slices. I’m good. I miss In-N-Out.
Everything has its price. Ask me to make you a burger with 100 patties, and if regular customers get priority, pay me enough, you get your burger.
It's at 73 Brick Boulevard, Brick NJ. Just came from there about an hour ago. They made the rb fresh. Man it was good. My wife likes hers with horseradish.
LOL! I meant to post to you and I posted to myself!
Believe it or not there is a Roy Rogers’’ in Brick Township, NJ.
Still going strong.
I was at the In-N-Out outside of Nashville a few weeks ago. Just like I remembered it.
