In-N-Out Burger expanding to Tennessee

[05_never_again]

20 minutes. You must've been in a express line. I went to one in Donelson once and the one in Murfreesboro once. Prolly took about 45 minutes each time.

Oh, I've waited that long too when they were busy. The 20-25 minute wait was when there was hardly anybody there, which I thought was even worse.

What is a “hard core” vegetarian?

A picture us worth a thousand words. Are you saying that there aren’t bits of countless cows in every bite? You’re the one spreading the BS.

They don’t wipe the dirt off.

They don’t wipe the dirt off.

And sometimes eat things raw.

Sometimes Wendy's has better items, but after 28 years of living in a state that now has BOTH? I can vouch for their respective devotees. El Paso born BIL could eat Whataburger 5x or more a week and California born wife raves over In-N-Out.

Congrats on the sex.

Missed where I indicated I was MARRIED?

 

[YankeeVol]

Don't know about Whataburger, but In-N-Out is nothing like "Wendy's etc." It's fine if you don't like them, but that's just silly.

Did I say I didn’t like them?

Point is, its just another fast food burger. Nothing special.

 

[Grand Vol]

I give them mad credit for having a simple menu and business model. They're only like five items total on the menu.

Do five things well and skip the fluff.

"In-and-out" burger sounds like a poor name for a restaurant.

 

[pismonque]

There are several In-N-Outs in my area and my take is that it's a good burger that I always enjoy but I never understood the highly devoted following (or the crazy long lines).

It's certainly a step above any of the Wendy's/BK/McD-type places, and that's where it seems to slot itself, like a straightup fast food/drive-thru joint, so it's a bit of a bad comparison to put it up against places that present as more "gourmet burger" fast-food spots.

I will say, I've always felt they would do well in the southeast. Old-school look and vibe, simple burger-fries offering with customer service emphasis, little hidden scripture callouts on the bottoms of the cups and containers, it all seems kinda southern.

Whataburger is, but IMO In-N-Out is not. Superior product relative to other burger chains with Chick-fil-A-esque service.

You're 100% correct in your description of In-N-Out. The difference is the freshness and the efficient service.

Yep. It's basically Chick-fil-A for hamburgers.

Don't know how it is any more but back when I was a young wizard and lived in Los Angeles for a time, I can tell you that In-and-Out was a darn fine burger and fries. Granted that was before 5 guys and others that have come up more recently but certainly IaO has a reason for its reputation.

Basically they won't be happy till we are all eating RAW DIRT! (with a side helping of crickets)

You’re being funny with the parentheses, but that’s a huge Bill Gates project.

Crickets are better than starving. Which the B&M Gates Foundation is addressing. When Bill isn’t too busy Epsteining.

Cept they want to induce “starving” by buying up farms and cutting off cattle and poultry as protein sources.

Developing alternatives is different from “cutting off”.

Big Agriculture has been buying up farms for decades. Bill “only” has 250,000 acres. That’s not a lot for one of the wealthiest people on the planet. And a lot of that acreage is probably owned by the BMG Foundation.

You buy industries to shut down so you can offer alternatives that YOU CONTROL? It’s not coming from a good place. It’s GOD INC without the silly divinity.

Gates doesn’t have a Dr Evil plan. His motives are to address major worldwide humanitarian issues. He’s working to keep millions from starving to death. By feeding them crickets if it’s a solution. He’s not going to take away your Happy Meal.

So what's the difference with In 'n Out & other burgers? A fried hunk of meat on bread. Somebody enlighten me.

Lot of humanitarian evils come from a good place. Communist dictatorships stemmed from treating EVERYONE equally...but the superiors had to be in charge and couldn't stand in bread lines. Gates is buying up land here in America and in Europe and a major force in restricting regular agriculture. All part of The Greater Good, I know. I don't trust bored multi-billionaires who know what's best for everyone else and love the poofy self-important defenders even more...no offense. Nice misdirection with the smarmy Happy Meal comment.

Supposedly the simplicity and freshness of the product is a level above. Wasn't overwhelmed in previous forays, but I'm going to give them another swing out of respect for my California born devotee spouse.

Being smarmy about a happy meal is a nicer way of suggesting that somebody is FOS about losing their protein to the Bill Gates world plan conspiracy theory.
