In-n-Out on the other hand is great. I made this the only must do on a mileage run to LA a little over a year ago. (It was a seven hour trip to LA highlighted by In-n-Out). I really do love their food.
I agree. For me, every trip to LA has to include a trip to In 'N Out. A few of my trips to SF have even included a visit to one near Fisherman's Wharf.
Locally, Steak and Shake has the best burger. I also like Fatburger, but the closest one to me is in Clearwater since the one in Tampa (International Plaza) closed. It was probably because of the TERRIBLE service. The kids who worked there always made you feel bad for troubling them with an order, when they weren't too busy taking a break in the back. It never was quite as good as the Fatburger on Santa Monica Blvd., anyway.
