For me, in n out always felt like the place you were compelled to like just because other places didn't have them around. Not sure how it's like with you guys and White Castle or something. Speaking of White Castle there's one opening in somewhere in LA County should I go try it out?

Stop thinking of it as a restaurant. Its common place fast food here. That means Del Taco Wendys McDs etc tier. You arent going to get a 10 dollar amazing burger for 3 dollars anywhere. In n Out is cheap simple and consistent and that's whats makes them amazing.

As someone who's lived in California his whole life, I remember being excited as hell when one got opened up a few miles away from me. Nowadays, though, I've been around the country and world, I've tried burgers in a lot of states, and I can tell you that In-N-Out is nothing more than your average chain burger place. Like, it's good if there's no line and you're in the middle of nowhere and fast food is your only option, but there's always a line. I'd much prefer something like Dick's Burgers in Seattle than In-N-Out.

Chik-ful-a is definitely overrated.
>tasteless factory farmed white meat, injected with 10% saline and chemical preservatives, soaked in pickle juice for an hour, breaded with gmo flour and factory farmed eggs and deep fried in gmo corn oil served on an HFCS gmo chemical bun
But tbf, that's pretty much all fastfood.

Again, the way it's raved and bragged about so hard that makes it overhyped for what it is. The thread is about that. The way most people post about it is acting like it is the best thing since sliced bread.

You are full of shit, they use peanut oil. And all modern food is genetically modified. In most cases, the original versions of food are unrecognizable today. Never speak I'll of Chik-fil-a.

Are american fast foods (I mean the meme ones like Five Guys and whatever OP was posting about) much better than McDonalds, Burger King and KFC? Here we only have either the international ones, kebabs and hipster overpriced burger places.

>> No.10022852

>>10022843
Things like In-and-Out and Cookout are alright. Five Guys is overpriced wannabe restaurant food or the bastard child of a sit down and a fast food that inherited the higher costs and the shitty food.

>> No.10022875

>>10022619
What Im saying is thats not the case though. At least not here in Cali. I've never actually met someone who will equate an In n Out burger to a quality burger. Only of people who come from outside of cali, claim they've heard its the best burger on the west coast and proceed to shit on it because they got their hopes up for just a normal burger.

In n Out is popular no doubt because again, its cheap and consistent, but that popularity seems to be mistaken as restaurant quality.

>> No.10022984

>>10022843
local chains like in n out are often much better than the national chains and are usually a similar price.
5 guys is "fast casual", which is about the same quality of local chains but for restaurant prices.
