In & Out...that's what a hamburger's all about

Ain't that the truth. g'ma and I both enjoyed a delicious lunch of cheeseburgers and french fries from In & Out. I even splurged and got a strawberry shake. In & Out is the only fast food chain Eric Schlosser recommends in Fast Food Nation. I just love how In & Out kicks it "old school" with a simple "official" menu of just eight items, evenly bifurcated between solids and liquids: the double double, cheeseburger, hamburger, fries, milkshakes, sodas, coffee and milk. At $1.85 for a cheeseburger and $1.09 for some freshly cut french fries, the prices are fabulous and the old timey circa fifties uniforms are splendid. plasticmom covets the massive safety pins used to pin the aprons for all In & Out "associates." For those in the know, they also have a "secret" menu of special "burgers" that include the "4 x 4" and the "protein style."
