OT In and Out Burger

[bodyman5000 and 1]

When I say I don't eat fast food I mean during everyday life.

On road trips and stuff like that...occasionally

 

[3RA1N1AC]

In N Out is always busy and apparently they pay better in comparison to other fast food.

I don't eat fast food so I don't go there.

The worst is White Castle. Have you ever eaten something mass produced and frozen that is just as good as the real thing?

I had frozen White Castle years ago...yuck.

Figured I'd try the real thing when they opened in Vegas....yuck.

Not sure I could tell the difference.

never had them “fresh” but I assume they are very similar to the microwave 8 pack

In the 60’s and 70’s there was Harry’s Hurry In on Lombard. Five burgers for a buck. Great place to buy gut bombs after a long night of partying.......and they were reasonably tasty.

I remember when McDonalds first opened up in Portland and one of the first was around 122nd and NE Glisan and hamburgers were on special for $.15 then went to $.25. I originally grew up living right behind Montavilla park so it was pretty convenient.

@riverman , I always enjoyed reading The Far Side.

I'll attach a larger image so people can read the caption at the bottom.

And an additional one for fun!

Yup. Greases the shit out of your asshole to boot.

What was the name of that like 39 cent burger place 20 years ago that popped up everywhere and then vanished? my mom thought they were aliens.

Hot N Now....... I remember there was one on like 36th and Powell! Being a SUPER broke 20 year old, that place saved the day.

I ate a White Castle in 1965. God damned tiny patty on a parker house dinner roll. It was only ten cents but I still felt ripped off.
I usually eat fast food about twice a year but since the virus I've already had fast food three times if you count a Papa Murphy's pizza as fast food. The other two were a McDonald's plain hamburger, no sauce and a Burgerville halibut fish sandwich, light on the sauce.
I don't eat no McDonald's fish sandwich because it's pollock and not cod or halibut. I don't eat no damn pollock.
This is Easter so family tradition dictates a braised leg of lamb with potatoes, carrots and onions. My grandmother used to serve candied yams and rutabagas on the side but those are both bad for people on dialysis. My wife processes the potatoes by peeling them, soaking them in water overnight and then giving them a two minute boil, throwing out the water and adding the processed potatoes to the leg of lamb. That gets rid of about half the offending minerals that could stop my heart in large enough quantity.
Now, for the beer, I've got my choice between Tsing Tao, Kirin and Coors (not Coors light).

You don't like fries because they're different than they were 30 or 40 years ago. Now when I get fries they're more white than brown. The plus side is that you can get them without salt. Besides being healthier, no salt means they have to cook them right now and your fries are hot and not luke warm.

Malcolm Gladwell has a good podcast called something like Unexpected History... something like that. He did a whole show about how and why McDonald's fries are different today. Fun and interesting. Worth listening to.

White castle is good as fuck if you are wasted. I remember I was in Vegas hungry as fuck and about 30 people in line. I didnt want to wait so I gave 10 bucks for 2 of their burgers to these guys who had a bunch of them

Is White castle that place that doesn't have ketchup, tomatoes or lettuce? If so, fuck that place. Worst place ever.

I usually go with a calzone if I'm going to do Papa Murphy's.

Personally, I'd go with Tsing Tao.

You have shake shack which is way better.

Heard so much about shake shack so I went last time I was I downtown Seattle. I give it a 6/10.

 

[calvin natt]

good point, Burgerville isn't really "fast food", but than again I don't really eat fast food much at all.

People act like In-n-out is the best thing ever, and to me it's nothing special. It's like Burgerville in the sense that it's a local company. But In-n-out benefits from the self entitled belief that Californians have that "California = better". It's a mindset that we don't do up in Oregon/Washington.

Uh yeah we do that up here. Burgerville is good but reading these comments you’d think it was the best place ever. We think we have the best beer, wine, food, and so on. Every region does.

I call it suck shack.

Not great at all.

No, not the best place ever, but best for a fast food burger in this area.

 

[calvin natt]

So what qualifiers as fast food? They have to have a drive thru? So Five Guys would be out? Cause if not, five guys blows burgerville away. and I like burgerville. I think its better than all the big others like Mcd's, BK, DQ, Wendy's, Jackin the crack, etc.

Five Guys is preferable among those selections. I also like Mike's Drive-In.

Mikes was great, but isn't there only one location left? And they have gone down a notch over the years. Last time I ate was I think two year ago. Little greasier than i the time before.

If they had a drive thru it would take Six Guys to run it.

Ha! I don't think it takes any guys to run it right now without a drive thru, now that I think about it.

They have two locations: Milwaukie and Oregon City.

Five guys is really good. Been a few years but it was. Steak and Shake is too..not shake shack.

I think the difference is, most of us don't go bragging about it to everyone, or wish there was more of them. You talk to most Californians, and they think In-N-Out is the greatest thing ever.

Also I think the difference is people like Burgerville, but I don't know anyone who makes a point of taking people there. I had 3 friends purposely take me to In-n-out because I had never had it before.

If someone said to me they never had Burgerville, I'd probably go "oh, neat. "

 

[julius]

Yeah, the Milwaukie location (I think that's the original one) is much smaller than the Oregon City one. It's much more old fashioned and I can see why people think it was greasier.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I think we should go to China and open In N Out Bat!

Not sure every S & S is the same but the 2 I've to down here have the best fries I've ever had. (skinny shoestring fries)
