In N Out RULES!
If you homos think $3.30 is too much to pay for one of the best double-meat-double-cheese fully-loaded drive-thru burgers in the southland y’all need to get off welfare and quit being poor little bitches.
I think the combo that’s nearly $7 is too much. Maybe it’s just over priced in the Bay Area where they’re not spread like wildfire.

I think the pricing is pretty uniform across all restaurants, but I might be wrong.
But have you gone to ANY fast food place lately?
It’s no more than a similar combo at McDonalds or Carl’s Jr or Jack in the Box or something.
I think it’s funny how 15 years ago Carl’s Jr. made this big hooplah about their “Six Dollar Burgers” because they were like the burger you’d get at the sit down restaurants for about 6 bucks but they only cost $3 or $4 or whatever it was.
Now they’re about $6, hahahahaa!!!
And anyone that doesn’t like In n Out burgers because it says “John 3:16” in 8 font on the underside of their drink cup or thinks Chick-Fil-A is crap because the CEO donated money to lobby against gay marriage deserves to eat crappy sandwiches anyway.
I couldn’t care less what religion or political persuasion my food is. If it tastes good I’m eating it.
I’ve only managed to get to In N Out once, when i was in Las Vegas, but it was amazing. I first heard of it in The Big Lebowski, and it lived up to expectations [:)]
Nice! It’s been so long since seeing Lebowski. I don’t recall an In-n-Out mention.
I kind of felt obsessed with trying White Castle when I was back in the Midwest a few years back I’d never had it but I love “Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle” and I had to have it. It was quite an adventure but I’m sorry to say I did not feel nearly as satisfied as Roldy and Kumar did at the end of theirs. In fact, if you’ve heard or read urban legends about why they call the burgers there “sliders”, I can confirm that there is solid evidence supporting that. Correct that . . . the evidence was actually anything but solid.
Chick-Fill-A always sucked.
Gunnar, i have to say i’m a little disappointing in your reaction to this. Angie is finally gone and you’re talking about fast food.
Dude, where’s the comic book?

Maybe it’ll get a feature . . .

Gunnar, you’ve been to the land of the rising sun, I’m eager to hear your opinion on the MOS BURGER fast food chain.
Please agree with me that this is some of the best fast food dining on the planet, so I don’t have to crack open the grimoire and send ancient Norse winter demons to harass you nightly.
Wow! Good timing. I’ve been to Japan many times but ate at Mos Burger for my first time just a few weeks ago. Yeah! It was delicious. But you kind of need to go in with a different strategy than when having a proper fast food pig out session in the US. Everything is smaller, so it kind of feels like I stole some kid’s Happy Meal or something. I ended up eating two burgers and an order of fries and onion rings. But the soda is like the same size as the white-styrofoam-water-cup-of-shame that they punish us with here. And you don’t just get endless refills everywhere. I’m used to drinking a big cup of soda before my food even arrives and then refilling it during and after my meal. Eat like an American in Japan and you’ll pay $20 for fast food. On the plus side, at least they’re not all a bunch of flabby lardasses, but that’s because their society is starving them.

“Flabby lardasses” are such an anomaly there that they once had this entire comedy show called “Debu-Ya” based on the exploits of two fat guys in Tokyo (one with a righteous 'fro) chowing down on various types of food. That was pretty much it for the gimmick.
But yes you’re right on all the fast food assessments there. I also find it interesting how totally segregated the audiences are for specific food joints there. McDonald’s seems to be frequented exclusively by junior high and high school kids, Mos Burger is like “fast food for hip professionals,” sweet shops are exclusively for 20-something office ladies, and noodle stalls for surly salarymen etc.
Papaya Suzuki, perhaps?
I was just in Vegas and went to In-N-Out Burger.
The Double Double Animal Style was $3.35, fries $1.60, small choco shake $2.10. Total was $7.62 with tax.
It may have been God that drove the wedge between them.

Good for you, Mooney!
I’m glad to see there are at least a few left on this board that are not spineless, soulless, Commie bastards.

When I worked for in n out (20 years ago). Fries and drinks are where all of their profit came from. Fry boats were like a penny each and a bag of potatoes was like 75 cents. Drink cups were less than a nickel. and the syrup boxes for coke and such were like 2 bucks (if that)… Double doubles I believe were on the menu for $2.25 or $2.50

In Australia, a meal like that would cost you AT LEAST $15. But that’s because we are fast becoming THE most expensive nation on Earth. Actually, Melbourne is now behind only Belgium as the world’s most expensive city when it comes to buying an ordinary suburban house.
A decent three bedroom home in an ordinary (and I do mean ordinary) suburb in Melbourne or Sydney will set you back on average $700k. In a well to do suburban area - around $1.5m.
I don’t know if any of you guys have ever ventured this far down south, but if you do, here’s a tip - SAVE UP before you come.
Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve been down there. I think it was about 2006 or 2007, and at that time the cost of everything seemed about the same as the US.
Turn our backs on them Aussie’s and they just start amassing power . . . . it’s just like in RISK. They’re down there building secret armies until they can advance North and wipe out the entire world.
And to think . . . just a few years ago all they had was Midnight Oil and Crocodile Dundee.

Oh you’ve been?
I didn’t think anyone here had been.
What did you think of the people and the culture?
Sometimes I think we live in a bubble - so far removed from the rest of the world and all.
I know that folks complain about Australian customs. We have - supposedly - the toughest border control in the Western World.
My parents talked about moving to Australia when I was a kid. I was excited because I thought I would be able to ride around in a kangaroo pouch like Pebbles and Bam-Bam.
It’s been years since I last saw a kangaroo - even in the wild. Unless you live in the red centre (and almost NOBODY does) you won’t go seeing a kangaroo anytime soon. Unless it’s a dead one along a highway out in the bush.
Oh and BTW they are dangerous. Like everything that moves / crawls / hops / slithers / climbs down here.

I was in Sydney for about a week, probably. I stayed at some hotel overlooking the harbor. It was great. I loved it.
I love Australians. They tend to be a bit loud and rowdy when I come across them. And since I’m usually the loud and rowdy one wherever I go they tend to make me feel like the straight man for once. It’s different and refreshing, to be honest.
Australian women are absolute beauties and the food was diverse and wonderful (not saying that I got familiar with any specific Australian cuisine, but that it was very multi-cultural where I was and I could eat many things I love).
Taxis were not outrageous at that time, and there was a casino close by. I think it was called Sydney Star or something. Anyway, they had most of the right games, and if you give me ready access to booze, gambling, and food, I’m a happy man.
I really liked wandering drunk about the King’s Cross area as that was where they had so many international food stands and I’d just wander in and out eating kebab, laksa, chicken . . . whatever.

you’re surrounded by water, and a million miles from no where… That’s tough by default.
