See you there!
IMO In 'n Out and Fatburger are kind of an "apples and oranges" thing, I enjoy them both, so I don't see a conflict really. I think they're each very good burgers in their own way - In 'n Out being kind of the quintessential So Cal style drive-through burger perfected, and Fatburger being more in the vein of the home-style (or, maybe diner-style) -thicker, juicier and far more customizable.sort of off subject but i was just having a heated discussion with a friend about the "mystique" of In-and-Out burger and how I felt it was completely over hyped and the burgers and fries were not all that good.
i'm more of a Fatburger kind of guy, who likes to taste the meaty thick beefy patties and crispy fries (thin or fat), and if i wanted a couple thin little drink coasters masquerading as a burger patty, i'd save my money and go get a Big Mac. the "once fried" fries at In-and-Out are too "Fluffy" and tasteless and the food always takes too long, though i suppose Fatburgers are cooked to order too, but at least Fatburger gives you a number and they bring your food out to your table, unlike In-and-Out where you have to stand around like a nervous orphan at a soup kitchen waiting for your turn.
the debate escalated to insults about each other's tastes in food and derogatory comments about our respective mothers, but in the end, i guess some people like In-and-Out and others prefer the meaty goodness of Fatburger.
there's another small chain that has begun to spring up in a few locations in SoCal called 5 Guys. they're from the DC/Virginia area and they have good meaty burgers and crispy fries. There's one in the Carson Mall (off 405 by IKEA) down the street from my office and it's real good. not necessarily a suggested location for a car meet, but just a tasty burger.
sorry for the tangent but just consider it a bump for this meet![]()
you guys need to go to the counterThe Counter : Custom Built Burgers : Honolulu I prefer fat burger slightly over in n out but the counter beats them both....by a good margin.
Have you tried the burger at Houston ? I've heard that it's very good too, but haven't tried it yet.oh ya There is one 2 minutes from me so I've tried it all.Yes its a different animal but totally worth the mention
I like Houston's burgers but the best two burgers I've had in LA are at Comme Ca and at Father's Office. These are gourmet sit-down restaurant burgers, don't compare them to In-N-Out please :no:Have you tried the burger at Houston ? I've heard that it's very good too, but haven't tried it yet.
LOL I know what you mean about the waiting, at In 'n Out ! I think they prioritize the Drive Through line, so next time you might want to just use the drive-through.sort of off subject but i was just having a heated discussion with a friend about the "mystique" of In-and-Out burger and how I felt it was completely over hyped and the burgers and fries were not all that good.
