I once heard from a Babylonian in Oregon that they’re never any good no matter when you eat them.

And a Hittite in Nevada said, “When you get a combo there, it costs exactly as much as ordering the three items in three separate trips to the counter! What’s up with that?”

Mcrib taste like ass, the BBq sauce helps a little. If you like gristle, spongy, where did this meat come from? type of sandwich, this is for you.

Really? Have you had an Animal Style burger?

That’s why I always order them well-done (when I do go, which isn’t too often). Well-done In-N-Out fries are like manna from the heavens.

This is true. (I’d forgotten that Phoenix and a few cities in Nevada have In-N-Out now.)

They will limpify before you receive them, let alone have a chance to eat them.

This is why Fatburger fries are superior.
