I call BS on this.

In'n'Out is fine, but though it's technically "food," it
is nothing like a real burger!

Oh, come on. Yes, I made better burgers than I-N-O on my grill last night, so I-N-O burgers are not the world's best, but putting them on the same plane as McD's/BK/etc. is simply wrong.

Since this is FT, I'll make an analogy between In-N-Out and the E175. A Y seat on the E175 is not the same as an int'l business/first class seat, nor is it in the same league as a private luxury jet. However, equating the E175 with a CRJ200/700 because they're both "regional jets" would simply be wrong--even the worst Y seat in the E175 is far more comfortable than the best seat on a CRJ.

Well ... that's not a burger, either!

First, your speculation that most of us haven't experienced
In'n'Out is foolish.

Second, I don't see this In'n'Out vs. Five Guys thing - both
produce a perfectly fine product, somewhat better than what
the big big chains produce, but I'd say the difference was
more (building on your analogy) like row 12 vs. row 5 on a
CRJ than whatever you said. It's fast food vs. fast food.

Reading about the awesome In-N-Out burgers making me hungry. Will have to get a double double tomorrow ;)

Yours errs in the other direction!

Agreed, some Chicago pizza is nasty. I personally hate Lou Malnati's which is always featured on the Food Network as "the" Chicago pizza to eat...yet it makes me cringe when anyone drags me there. But that said I LOVE Giordano's. Different style of deep dish. But others would think this is blasphemy. Maybe you just haven't tried the "right" Chicago style pizza for you?

I don't have the cash to make it back out there again, and there are no in and out burger locations near chicago. However, i have friends that take frequent trips out to the west coast. How can they get me a few in and out burgers back to me without them spoiling?

Clearly, you need to make an FT friend who:

A) Lives near and In & Out
B) Has similar cravings for Chicago Deep Dish, or Italian Beef.

Then you can alternate Mileage Runs

I have a friend who moved to the east Coast who has me FedEx him double-doubles, which he says he reheats and enjoys--hard to believe...

Do you take them apart (i.e. remove condiments, toppings, etc.) and pack everything separately? Or do you just stick everything in the box and off it goes?

Just curious.
