In-N-Out - The Real Deal

There were three things that I wanted to do in San Francisco

1. I wanted to visit my friends
2. I wanted to go to Amoeba Music in Haight Ashbury
3. I wanted to eat a Double Double at In-N-Out


1 and 2 were easy but 3 almost didn't happen.

But eventually I got there. Wasn't able to have one for lunch but had the joy of eating one in the car while we driving down San Francisco's famous Lombard Street.

What's the big deal?

It's not about the size even though it has two 100% beef patties, two slices of cheese, hand leafed lettuce, tomato, and onion.

It's not about the packaging or presentation -

It's all about the taste. The In-N-Out Double Double tastes just about perfect.

It's hard to describe. It's just right.

It's fresh, it's tasty, it's even the right size.

It's just part of a greater package, it's just part of a fast food chain that actually cares about what it produces.

Even the fries are chipped in the shop by hand!

It's just a great burger and a great franchise.

But back to the burger, how do I rate it?

Value - 5 (I can't think of $3.19 that I'd rather spend on food)
Taste - 4.5 (almost perfect...but then again what is?)
Messiness - 2 (it is messy, but then again I was eating one in the car)
Would I eat one again? 5 (I'd eat one a week if they were anywhere near me in Carlingford!)

Pity that the franchise is almost exclusively on the West Coast of the USA. If only I could convince them to come out here.
