I don't know if this is true but a guy I work with said they are building one in American Fork Ut, Can anyone confirm this either way, if so I may have a reason to venture down to Utah County more often. I hope it's true but some how I doubt it.

please god yes. I had in-n-out probably once every two weeks of highschool and while i still get it often, i miss it over the summer when i am in Utah.
By far my favorite food to get when driving back to the bay area from Tahoe, im fairly sure i know where every single one of them is located north of the bay
highly overrated
How exactly did you accomplish this?Quote:

Apparently for Provo/SLC it's too far away for them to meet the freshness standard they use, since everthing in that region comes from a central warehouse in/near Vegas, so at least six months ago, the company said there would not be one in N. Utah.
A bit of googling found a restaurant "like" in and out going in near the Smiths in AF....bet that's it. But then again, I live in Chicago, so what the heck do I know? :D
60% of the time he passed one he stopped for an animal style double-double, every time.Quote:

I love having a fast metabolism (my arteries probably dont though)
"those are good burgers Walter..."
and yes, we'll stop and the In & Out Burger
In and Out isn't franchised, so I would be surprised if anything popped up outside of Cal/Arizona/Nevada in the near future
Another vote for overrated.
And the fries taste like cardboard.
Their cups and wrappers are marked with Bible citations so they'll fit right in with Utah County.

Plus, who needs in n' out when you got the Cotton bottom.
C-Bottom is definitely over-rated :nonono2:Quote:

Cooking a good burger is one of the easiest things for a wanna-be-grill-meister to master .... just make your own and then revel in your created goodness ... much easier and cheaper :D
Man I miss those burgers. When I was stationed at Pendleton that was practically my diet:DQuote:

I always love the folks who chime in with overrated. Please name one fast food chain that makes a better burger. You can't. It's not possible. Burger King, Carl's Jr., McDonalds, Jack in the Crack...not even close. BK and Carl's even charbroil their burgers, which I almost always prefer. But charbroiled dogshit is still dogshit.
Yes, there are better burgers out there. No one is denying that. Heck, SLT has several burger joints that are quite a bit better than In-N-Out. But for a quick drive-thru burger chain, they're light years ahead of everyone else.
Exactly.Quote:

You just don't know the trick with the fries from In 'n Out. You HAVE to eat them while they're warm, preferrably before the burger. If you wait for them to cool off you're screwed (or at least they don't taste as good anymore).Quote:

FatBurger all the way!
Pretty much my routine(I eat a good breakfast, though) when skiing my last day at Mammoth. Grab some jerky at Mahogany Smoked Meats while driving through Bishop. Long drive to the In-N-Out in Lancaster(appropriately on Avenue I). They've got some competition for my appetite in Palmdale. Tommy's World Famous Hamburgers(If you don't see the shack, take it back!) Two chili dogs, please!Quote:

I really miss the mom and pop burger stands back home. They fucking rule it all. I have yet to find anything remotely close in NorCal, much less anywhere else. Sure you can find a good burger up here, but it's all the other hot stopping goodness those places have that you just can't find up here. Oh and fuck Rob Schneider, you always order the BLT...with avocado!!!
Fatburger.Quote:

fatburger does crush in & out. luckily i have both to choose from within a 2 mile radius to know this.
id have to say bullshit. For fast food, its pretty good.Quote:
highly overrated
Same thing's true about Mickey Ds. And their fries bitch-slap INNO's to kingdom come.Quote:

But what cracks me up is the INNO in Davis, right off I-80, right across from Redrum. In the amount of time it takes the suckers to crawl through that drive thru, I've gotten a real burger. Yummm.
If you want fake and manufactured, sure.Quote:

Fatburger = truth in advertizing. Gotta respect that. I'd still choose In N' Out though. I've had better burgers @ solitary Mom n' Pop type places but never from a chain. Gotta love how they hire bright kids to work there and pay them relatively well too.
Concur that you have to eat the fries hot out of the bag, but if you want them really, really fresh order them without salt. They make batches of fries with salt so they'll have to make you your own special order without salt. They'll look at you funny when you then ask for salt for your unsalted fries, but believe me, you won't be the first to order them that way.
... prepared badly.Quote:

Back in school, my roommates were taking some sort of accounting course and as a term project they looked at the balance sheets for Good Times. Apparently that company has never turned a profit in their entire existence (and they've been around for a while). The conclusion: Good Times is a money-laundering operation. But a tasty one.Quote:

we will have to agree to disagree on that. Fake = prepared badlyQuote:

I'm with you, I usually forgo the fries altogether but if I'm going to eat fries I know which one I'd choose...
IMO If you like "fresh" INNO is hands down the best burger out there.
the fries are made fresh to order.
The "Animal Style Grilled" double cheese is tits
RedB beat me to it, I think that the produce or lack there of will be the logistical challenge for UT stores
I actually I hope that they DONT EVER come to UT because it will devalue the brand (for me) and it will lose the some of the mystique, and pomp & circumstance in my not to often enough visits to INNO when I travel to CA or NV.
This thread is making me hungry.

Who needs In and Out when you have Astro & Olympus Burgers. Best bacon cheeseburger and fires in town IMO.
