The “Ins & Outs” of my burger love

Guilty Pleasure :: In & Out Cheeseburger with Onions

I’ve been an In & Out Burger fan since my college days in Salt Lake City when I ate way too many of them before the location near my condo closed. I cried I tell you, I cried.

These days I get one any chance I have and those chances are few and far between. There was that time we got stuck at LAX on our way back from La Paz, Mexico and sent friends in a cab for a midnight meal. Another late night stop in Vegas last year on a business trip. A quick stop in Phoenix. And well, every time I’ve been to San Francisco in the past 12 months.

Last weekend was no different, with Anita, Kristina and I all indulging in a late lunch of burgers and fries. Mmmm, I can taste it now (and let me tell you it would have been better than tonight’s hotel restaurant meal).

The burgers pretty much fail all four letters of SOLE (sustainable, organic, local, ethical) but I don’t care. I still love them and plan to indulge whenever presented with the option.

    I was so grateful that the both of you were there with me when I popped my In & Out burger cherry. I wouldn’t have wanted to share that deflowering with anyone else!

    I LOVE In & Out, especially the fries. Local or not, I’ll indulge myself once in a while. :)

    Joy – I loved the toasty bun. And although I didn’t order fries, Anita and Laura were nice enough to share.

    OMG, I am the same way! We eat In & Out once a year now, on our annual trip to Los Angeles. I justify it by saying it is a locally owned establishment. But yes, I seriously check my locavore status at the door. But they are so good, what am I supposed to do?!
