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.
So I'm going to Cali for about 36 hours for work tomorrow night.. and I'm already planning out all my meals.... I need to try In 'n' out Burger... never had it, and it is a must. the question is What do I get???? :? :? :?
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.

I always get a double double with fries and a strawberry shake. Will you pick me up some of the stickers they give away. I lost mine somewhere.

Double/double with chopped hot peppers! (off the menu)
Skip the frys cuz they're terrible
Damn, sounds good, too bad I'm living on the east coast now.
went to Five Guys the other day...they were even giving away fries, "we have some special fries for free!" one family asked for them, and they got a bag stuffed with fries...not that they needed any more fries.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Yep
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Hmm. Didn't know they did variations on the fires with the "secret menu". I just flat out love the joint.
The secret menu is almost too much to comprehend! I've never been there before, I might just stick to the basics for the first go...
I love 5 guys, it's pretty much the only place I go that you would call "fast food" with the exception of freebirds..... The hype surrounding In 'n' Out is huge... I hope it can live up to the expectations...

Oh man...now I hope it lives up to your expectations! :fp:
Had my first burger from Five Guys from the one in Hanover, MA. on Tuesday. Burger was so awesome and the fries were great too! I would definitely go back.
I think In 'N Out is better...their food just tastes fresher although I haven't been to 5 guys in years. Fries are definitely better at Five Guys though. I've been eating in 'n out at least 1-2 times a month since they opened up locations all over Dallas. One warning Shep, if you don't like the strong taste of onions, make sure to get your burger without onions as they put A LOT and it's a strong tasting onion.
Shep, a better comparison for us since we are in Texas, would be In 'N Out vs Whataburger. Personally I think In 'N Out gets the edge on the burger due to the freshness of the ingredients like I mentioned above and I think their beef tastes better..but most of my friends still prefer Whataburger although they all gree In 'N Out is still very good.
Let me know if you're ever in Dallas..I'll meet you for a burger at in 'n out There's one 2 minutes away from where I live.

To tell you the truth... I've never eaten Whataburger with the exception of when I've been bordering on black-out drunk... so I couldn't tell you what it tastes like... I know the next day my bowels feel all tied up, but I'm not sure if that was from eating or drinking
I'm actually in the process of planning a Dallas trip with a bunch of my buddies now for January... Taking all the Habs fans from houston up to dallas to watch the Canadiens beat up on the Stars on Jan 12!

are you saying it's just more of the 'culture' than the food itself?

I tried 5 Guys for the first time this year, and the food was great!
Same here. I am quite impressed with the freebees you get to put on the burger. That's pretty cool.
