In-N-Out Burger - Show Us Your California

Hi Friends,

This post is an entry into the weekly Show Us Your California contest hosted by @socalsteemit where we share an aspect of our California.

One of the iconic food symbols of California is In-N-Out Burger. This is a chain of of hamburger restaurants that started in California and have been slow to expand, despite many accolades and successes. The burger chain in privately owned, and they focus on easy to reach areas off major auto thoroughfares. Their menu is basic and little changed since it founding decades ago, but they are committed to freshness and do not use any freezers, as their distribution centers are located to serve all restaurants in an area. They have a “secret” menu where you can customize your order if you know the lingo. Examples are “animal style” burger, which is a thousand island type dressing and includes pickles, and the “flying Dutchman” which has chopped chilies on the burger. The fries are cut in hand pressed machines and visible to the customer watching the team do their magic.

Personally, I am a big fan and this is my go-to burger joint. I order the Double Double, Animal Style as my favorite burger. The kids always enjoy it too, and we enjoyed it this evening :)

They are slowly expanding in the US, but are still mostly on the west coast (though Texas is getting some locations now as well), so if you are in the area, give their burgers a try!

Thanks for coming by and checking out a piece of my California,
Brian
