In-N-Out coming to Colorado

[Ronin13]

Not a huge deal for me, I do like their burgers though.

Come on Whataburger....

Yes x1000! Whataburger>In-N-Out (and TX>CA in general)

Shouldn't we be protesting or boycotting this? Isn't this just one more step to turning Colorado in California?

This is my thinking... another step toward the Californication of CO. I've had it, it's Meh at best, and think we've managed just fine without I-N-O the last however many decades. Granted, it's been at least 14 years since I've had it (and since I've been to Commiefornia), so I'd be willing to give it a try again, but I'm not hopeful.

I haven't seen a Church's in ages, I always liked it better than KFC.

As for In-n-Out, its popular for a few reasons (even though most folk that try it now are not super impressed):

• Its cheap, but still pretty good
• Its got a "secret menu"
• It's deeply connected to car culture in California (many locations host car shows every weekend)
• People that grew up in California connect it very strongly to their childhood
• The fries!

So I see why people from California love it, and my brother who lives in Vegas really likes it (he's pulled in by the "secret menu") but I also can see why most everyone else is underwhelmed by it (myself included).

If I had one close by I'd eat there occasionally, but there's just too many other places that are just as good.

The only problem I see- you'll have to wait forever due to popularity... If you think Chick-fil-a is bad you have no idea how long the lines will be at In-N-Out- and I'm not just talking the first few months. The Chick-fil-a in Brighton ALWAYS has a huge line at Lunch time.

I never understood this sentiment with regards to anything.

"Humanity managed just fine for thousands of years without morphine/antibiotics/etc"

Just because we don't know what we were missing doesn't mean we won't see an improvement in quality of life from it's arrival. INO is a cheap, tasty, relatively healthy lunch option.

Agree, except for the relatively healthy part.

You just compared In-N-Out to morphine/antibiotics...? Spoken like a true INO fanboy.
I should have said "I have managed just fine..." I can think of at least 5 other burger chains (including Red Robin) that I enjoyed more than INO... YMMV
