I'm also guessing that some/all of the doubters in this thread haven't ever had an In-N-Out burger. While it is technically "fast food", an In-N-Out burger is nothing at all like the "burgers" one can purchase at typical fast-food places (McDonalds, Burger King, etc.).
In'n'Out is fine, but though it's technically "food," it
is nothing like a real burger!

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.

Right away someone is going to say "wait, Chicago pizza isn't nasty" but that's not going to make me turn around and say "oh, my mistake it is good". If the OP has tried burgers in his area and not found anything that compares to In-and-Out than that's what's best for him/her.

I have a question, and it is kind of silly. When I went to Arizona to visit my Grandma, she took me to in and out burger, and now I think it is the greatest burger ever! 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?
A) Lives near and In & Out
B) Has similar cravings for Chicago Deep Dish, or Italian Beef.
Then you can alternate Mileage Runs
