I ate at an In and Out for the first time ever Friday and for the second time Saturday on the way home. Very good hamburger but unlike Piney I'm not a big fan of the fries. Five Guys fries taste a lot better to me.

Next time, ask for the fries Animal Style.

[BigPiney]

Mainly because you'll puke it all up if you go for a run right after dinner.

SHHH, that is our little secret.

The fries were an acquired taste for me. At first I was pissed that there were very few long ones, but once I realized they were cutting my fries in the back from an actual potato and then frying them and serving them to me, I got over that part.

Either that or ask for them "Well-Done"

Where do fries come from at other fast-food places?

Whoa. You have a spud as an avatar and you don't know this?

Most big burger chains have a complex preparation process that involves multiple cycles of cooking and freezing. And often includes addition of coatings of some kind.

You've got processed and you've got fresh cut. McDonalds and Wendys buy processed while Five Guys and In and Out fresh cut their fries or buy the potato whole and cut them up right there. In and Out uses a Nevada potato while Five Guys uses a Idaho Burbank potato which of course taste better. I only wish they would cut them a little thicker.

No, I realize this, but the fries are still potato, right? Falafel made it sound like the fries at Wendy's are actually made from eggplant or something.

They are only marginally still potato. I would prefer eggplant, to tell you the truth. Potato is too wonderful a food to be tortured like that (not that I eat fries of either sort anymore).

[TripletDaddy]

My first thought was that he was, indeed, suggesting that the fries were made from eggplant. I think we can all agree that falafel is just trolling on this one.

You have no right to cut my name off like some tiny In-N-Out fry bit.

Anyway, non-fresh cut fries are not 100% potato, I'd be willing to bet. Tasty though. I'm not bagging on McDonald's frys, believe me.

My bad. I was lazy.

Fair enough.

Pier One imports?

This mall's got everything!

I thought Utah had a Pier One... but I guess it'll be more convenient moving it to the mall.

You are 100% correct. For the past several months, I have been avoiding this kind of food out of concerns for my cholesterol. Now that my cholesterol is low again, I can ease off the main thrusters a bit and enjoy a nice guilty treat every now and then, as long as I keep doing the cardio.

I'm not the cycle guru like you! I need to watch the calories!

Add some hiking to your routine and you'll be all set!
