I'm kinda surprised that it took 78 posts in this thread until this came up. 
Personally, I don't mind. After all, the evangelizing is very discreet. (I never noticed until someone told me...)

My first and only time in an In-N-Out, and I have converted. Their evangelizing worked on me. I am now addicted to their hamburgers. 
I could careless about the evangelizing, as long as it's discreet - that's why I never noticed it. I'll take a gander next time I go.

Maybe it's a California thing? There is a CA company making some natural liquid soaps sold at Whole Foods that has biblical messages (more like long passages) stenciled onto their packaging.

"Since he's a near-vegetarian, why did he post?", you ask?
Two reasons:
1. Can you buy a tee shirt at any of their locations?
2. Can you still get bumper stickers? Does anybody remember the really interesting modification you could do to them? (I can think of two, but let's see what the rest of FT remembers!)

With all of the hype I had heard about in n out, I remember thinking just before I bit into my first in n out burger that this was a moment that I would remember forever. Well it was just another run of the mill burger with disgusting fries. When I am in the Southwest give me Baja Fresh anyday for lunch over a burger.
I haven't eaten at Fatburger but they are just about finished building one here in Calgary a couple of mins away from where I live. I will give it a try and post my experience.
I always scope out the local Joint type burger places, thats where you will find a great burger.

I certainly didn't expect heaven when I bit into an In-N-Out burger. But, it was 10 times better than a Mickey D's or BK's burger. In-N-Out is a better alternative when seeking out fast food. IMHO, their fries are a lot better than the national chains.
