IMO White Spot/Triple O’s (don’t think there are any south of the border) makes a better burger for the same price. One last note, In-N-Out costs less than McDonalds. A quarter pounder with cheese meal will run me $6 at McDonalds and I can get a double double with fries and a drink for $5.25. The price is part of the appeal. Also, note what I said above, Fatburger and In-N-Out make different products, they just both share the name hamburger. They aren’t really the same foodstuff. ---

The only secret thing I knew about was “Animal Style”. I like lots of cheese on my burger, so it’ll be the 2x4 from now on. And I always felt that the fries, while good, had just a bit of a mealy consistency to them. “Well done” fries sounds like the way to go. I had always avoided “Animal Style” because I’m not crazy about thousand-island dressing, but on an In-&-Out, it actually works! “Animal Style” on the fries is a bit much, tho’. Fatburger used to be a lot better years ago, IMO. Still better than most, but it pales in comparison to I&O. We have several I&O’s here in Vegas, and two within a mile of my house. It mystifies me that anyone would even consider Mac’s, BK, etc. with all this good burger action here. Crap! It’s only 8:40 AM, and now I’ve got the In-&-Out jones big time! Thanks a lot, guys! 😉 ---

> [@footballisplayedwithyourfeet](#): > > Thanks for all the advice, I’ll make sure to take a good look at the secret menu before I go. I might try one of the alternative (non fast food) burger joints as well, but I don’t want to be eating burgers all the time…there is also the mexican stuff (and probably every other kind of food imaginable)! So much possibilities and so little time…😉 Just one more hijack… You cannot visit LA without stopping at least once at [Barney’s Beanery](http://www.barneysbeanery.com/#). Best chili in the world, guacamole that will knock your socks off, and burgers that will make you weep with joy (go to page 5 on the online pdf menu). There are apparently now 4 locations, but for the true BB experience, you must go to the West Hollywood location (the original). And did I mention at least 150 different brands of BEER?
