On this day when kids are getting their favorite junk food put in a bag for them, I’m thinking about one of my favorite junk foods. On Friday, I’m going to Los Angeles for the weekend, and I can’t wait to get an In-N-Out Burger. I was introduced to In-N-Out burgers while in Las Vegas a couple years ago, and they are one of the best things about the West Coast. I mean…you can get a great burger in Chicago as well, but there is something special about an In-N-Out burger. I think one of the cool things about going there is that they have a limited menu and they stick to it. The fries are hand cut and fried which is the best way to do it in my opinion. Plus, they have all of those secret codes you can ask for at the register. I don’t forget to say “Well Done” when ordering my fries. My mouth is watering already…




Actually, even though their “default” menu seems limited, there are many, many variations you can create because of all the customizations they let you do, like all the secret codes that you mention. If you visit Seattle, you should definitely try Dick’s — they’re a bit different from In-N-Out, but I think you will definitely become a fan.
