As East Coasters visiting the West Coast, one thing we're always really excited for is heading to In-N-Out. In fact, the nearest location to our hotel is always the first place we've hit up whenever we went out to California in the past. So where do you think we went this time for our first meal?
Yup. It's sort of a tradition, but it's also more a satisfying of a craving that we can barely ever actually fill.
One of the most amazing things about In-N-Out aside from their freshness and overall flavor is the fact that it costs so little to buy. Neither M nor I can figure out just how they do it. Of course, the freshness and overall flavor are obviously the best parts, but the price really makes it amazing. One thing that's really surprising about the fact that it costs so little is that all of the food (toppings, meat, potatoes, etc.) are all delivered to each location fresh, daily. It's this freshness that really sets In-N-Out's burgers apart from almost every other fast food chain in this country.
M got a regular cheeseburger animal style with extra lettuce and raw onions. (The cheeseburger usually comes with raw onions but with animal style they replace it with the grilled onions.) She had been reading online that you could request as many extra vegetables as you want for no extra charge, and loves piling extras onto a burger.

All this? $11.72

Double-Double Animal Style Protein Style
I opted for their "secret" menu double-double animal style and protein style. It's a double cheeseburger with thousand island dressing and caramelized onions (animal style) and wrapped in lettuce in lieu of a bun (protein style). It comes with a couple slices of tomatoes to finish it all off. The fresh-made patties and fresh vegetables form an amazing burger.

Animal Style Fries
The animal style fries are their normal fries with a slice or two of cheese layered on top and then smothered with the caramelized onions and thousand island dressing. It's easily one of the least healthy things you could ever think to eat (that doesn't contain bacon), but it's also really delicious. I've always found their fries to be a bit dry when not all trussed up, but thankfully you can truss them up :)
Why not one more burger?
We met up here with my friend J and his girlfriend S. S is a marathon runner, and she had a training run this night. She came later with some sort of healthy food, and I didn't want her to be the only one eating so I went up and got another cheeseburger, this time animal style and with raw onions. No protein style this time, but hey, you have to mix things up.
