I must admit, the *only* meat product I've had in the past three weeks--it's typical for me to follow a largely non-animal diet, for cholesterol-lowering purposes--has been a one-a-week In-N-Out burger, once even with fries, woo-hoo!.
For the next month I'll follow that same schedule, because it fits my work routine, and because I can get one-per-week for free (don't ask.)
But it's economics and convenience that are driving my lunch plans: I too, admittedly with my limited credentials as a hambuergueur critic, think INO is 'waaaaaaay overrated. Yes, 'waaaay, mostly due to the consistently tasteless patty. (Poor Patty, she has no taste, whatever!)
Enjoy the onions, amazed to see whole fresh potatoes being peeled and hand-pressed though the fry-cutter (as opposed to the more typical bag of frozen, pre-cut tubers being dumped into a fryer.) Appreciate the crunch afforded by a toasted bun, and of fresh lettuce, though the tomato slices are tasteless.
Did I mention 'waaaaaay overrated?
I did?
Well then I must mean it!
