Tried the burger last night. Huge disappointment – I rate it a 2 out of 10. Consistency was off .. it was like eating a hockey puck .. unflavorful and $14 for a frickin’ cheese burger!! I’ll stick with Carnegie John’s flavorful burger for about a third the price!

Whatever In-n-Out is (and I am a fan), it is not “the pantheon of fast food burgers.” The In-n-Out chain may well produce a burger that resides in the pantheon of fast food burgers, however.

Tried it a couple of weeks ago. Nothing special. Actually a little bland.

I guess I’ll have to try it now. In & Out are the pantheon of fast food burgers. Pretty much the only reason to cross the Mississippi, lol.

Has anyone had a burger at “In & Out” on the west coast? The best ever.

AHT worships at the La Frieda altar. I wonder what the review would be like if it was a truly blind taste test. Imagine this:

“We just tried the mysterious new ‘deluxe’ burger at City Burger. The medium-rare patty was kind of dense, and stuck to my teeth a bit. The juice was on the fatty side. It tasted kind of steak-like, but somewhat “off”–a bit musky with an off-putting hint of aged cheese, not very fresh at all.”
