In-n-Out Burger

[MartyFunkhouser]

The talk about Crown Burger fired a forgotten neuron for me. When we lived in Wyoming and travelled to SLC for quarterly doctor visits for my brother, we'd stay at the Howard Johnson's near Temple square. This would be in the early 80's. Anyways, we would always stop at a burger joint nearby. And I remember a crown on the sign, but I thought it had the word 'King' in it. But maybe it was Crown Burgers?

They were good burgers, at least to this kid's palate.

That's a Crown Burger. As I understand it, it was also Majerus' Crown Burger location.

All this talk about burgers - just go to Italian Place on State Street and get a Steak and Everything. That there's a delicious meal.

Why would I do that when I could go to DP Cheesesteaks instead which is not far away. Or just walk a few feet further and eat at Asa Ramen.

Whopper. Arby’s. Lol. Stop.

Seriously, I'm ready to use some of the allocation of f-words that you have given me in response to some of the comments in this thread.

In-N-Out is delicious. It is great for a fast food chain burger. It is the best.
The fries are also good, but not great.

Arby's is inedible.
Burger King seems to someone get worse every year it is in existence.

Was that the old Roy Rodgers?

My sisters - both - worked at Baskin Robbins in 70 and 71.

Can't believe that Baskin Robbins is still there. It is like a time machine.

I remember that place. I got the special many times......unfortunately. When Pizza Pipeline opened if felt like I died and went to heaven. I'm old enough to remember when there was a The Pie across from Helaman Halls.

There was a pizza place called Good Time Charlie’s over there for a while. They had a cheese pull-apart that was late-night dorm food magic.

I bought so many large one-topping carryout pizzas from that place.

Yes! Didn't they also have a personal pizza and 32 oz drink for a $1.99 or something? That was a go to when things were tight, which was quite often back then. Heaven should be made up constantly getting to relive the best parts of college at BYU.

Since I didn't particularly enjoy my college years at BYU, my fate is probably that of Phil Connors in Groundhog Day. In the hereafter, I'll be reliving my BYU experience until I get it right.

Don't forget the $3.99 pizza and video rental combo at Sounds Easy.

I'm going to push back on Five Guys. Their fries are amazeballs, I give you that (Russetts for anyone keeping track), but their burger is in no way, shape or form, better than In N Out's. You may like to specialize it in a zany, crazy way, and that is your prerogative, but the meat has less flavor; the ingredients are worse quality.

Their pickles are heads and shoulders above In N Out's.

I won’t try to argue five guys quality - I’ll just say their burgers just do it for me. Not sure I can explain it. Though to your point, the grilled onions, mushrooms, bbq sauce, tomatoes and mayo certainly don’t hurt.

best way to describe in n out is you get what you pay for. it's fairly cheap, but since it doesn't have a dollar menu, i'd rather go to McD's most of the time and get a spicy mcchicken for $1, a McDouble and a large drink for quite a bit less than what i could get at in n out for a comparable amount of food. if i want a good burger, i'll pay more and get that.

we have a in n out right near our house, but we almost never go. though my wife had some coupons for free in n out burgers just the other day and they were fine. that's in n out - fine. places like crown, five guys, habit, smash are better, but they are also a lot more expensive.

I get that In N Out is over hyped, but what fast food joint is better? Wendy's? Mcdonald's? Burger king? Certainly not Shake Shack (talk about terrible fries).

I like their fries, hot or cold. I like yukon gold fries. I know I'm in the minority there. The In N Out spread is good. It doesn't beat a good greasy spoon diner burger, but it's tough to beat in the drive thru arena.

As a loyal son of the 207, them fries are Kennebecs.
