    Why can't there be In & Outs in Chicago???


    I've never tried it, but it's gotten so hyped up I want to.. Five Guys is ok, but nothing special.


    Well, at least we have White Castle. 8-)


    Oh man if they had In 'N Out burger in Chicago, I would gain 20 pounds.

    In n' Out is fucking awesome!

    After eating 5 Guys recently, besides the layout and menu sharing simularities, it's not even a close comparison. In n' Out is so much better. Plus, 5 Guys if freaking expensive!

    I'd love to try In' N' Out.... heard so many good things, unfortunately there are none in the state of Texas.... I know the first place I will be going next time I'm out Californee way.....

    I do LOVE 5 guys though.... such a good burger and fries... I just ate brunch and I'm salivating over the thought of 5 guys.. :lol: ....

    oh - and to the earlier poster about the fries being soggy - just don't close the bag on the way home... they stay crispy (but get colder faster) if you don't close the top of the bag...
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    They made a distribution/packing plant somewhere in Dallas and I heard that they may expand throughout Texas so I wouldn't be surprised if Houston (and Austin) get In 'N Out sometime soon.

    wow... they are all over Dallas aren't they?

    None in Houston, Austin, or San Antonio though... I wonder why?

    Mental notes have been made for the next time I head up to Dallas for a hockey game.... thanks for the heads up!

    There aren't any In 'N' Outs near me so I've only ever tried a Five Guys burger, but the Five Guys burgers I've had have been awesome. The first time I went there, my girlfriend and I had no idea how much they give you so we each ordered our own fries. I don't think we even finished one order between the 2 of us because they overload the fry containers so much (which is a good thing, by the way). I think the rule of thumb they seem to use is this: put the burgers on the bottom of the bag, put the fry container on top of them and fill them until you can't see anything in the bag except fries. I also like the fact that they carry Pibb Extra in their soda fountain. That doesn't get distributed around here. I think I still prefer Dr. Pepper but that stuff is pretty badass, too.

    I tried In 'N Out when I was in Phoenix a little over a year ago. I was very underwhelmed and cannot believe that people make such a big fuss over it. Five Guys is much, much better. However, I prefer indie, mom and pop hamburger shops like Hamburger King where I live in Montgomery, AL, or the Dew Drop Inn (the place that inspired Jimmy Buffett's song 'Cheeseburger in Paradise') in Mobile, AL. Chains like In 'N Out fall way short when putting them up against authentic, indie establishments like the many great ones we have in Alabama and throughout the Deep South.
