You all know this one......after yesterday's mention of Shake Shack, these guys requested equal time (just kidding - it was actually "Billy"!). This was my first Double-Double of the year, from after we returned from Lima/Santiago/Easter Island. Since I had meetings during the lunch hour; I headed out to grab a bento from Mitsuwa at 1030, since they looked to have stepped up their bento game. I was waylaid; not by the sight of, but by In N Out's unique "scent of a burger".
And I was rewarded, just as on previous visits (if you'd like some funny In N Out ruminations - read that ancient post).
I'm still not big on the fries here though......it's mostly a texture and moisture thing as the potato flavor is good.
But it had been a while; so I decided to do the easy thing and order Combo #1.
So I got my fix....until the next time the fragrance of In-N-Out catches me with a growling belly. Imitators need not apply.....
Right before I saw your post, I had wondered if I should go to In'N'Out today for lunch. Hunch confirmed. :-)

Yeah, never been a fan of the fries but I usually get a couple packets of spread which transforms them into a cheap version of animal style fries.

Always follow your instincts (and sometimes your nose) Jessica!
OK Jason.....thousand island fries!

You can ask for your fries extra crispy but yea I don't like their fries either.

Hi Junichi - Yeah, I've been down the fries "well done" road....they really didn't hold up well.

I prefer InO to Shake Shack. Not a fan of the Hawaiian bread like bun they use. On another note, had a great burger today at Halphen Red. :)

That did hit the spot Kat.
I'm not a big fan of overly sweet/eggy Hiin style rolls CC. But I thought Shake Shack's version, even though it on the stale side was ok.....I thought the meat was definitely better. Time for a burger soon....

I've grown to enjoy the fries when it comes out piping hot. I feel like InO tonight.
