Suggestive impulse eating...sucker..Much?

I've had In-N-Out on two separate visits to CA. The last time was in January with coworkers who just rave over them. Neither time I went really impressed me. Okay, but nothig special.

Waiting on a Church’s Chicken to come to the Springs.....

I haven't had Church's since I moved out of Kansas City (MO) in 1985. That is probably the best restaurant chicken I've ever eaten. I miss Church's.

Yeah no thanks.
White Castle Is better.

I used to go to KY via Southern IL to go visit my in-laws. I would always stop in @ White Castle either going down to KY or coming home. I love me some White Castle sliders - by the bagfull. Now that the in-laws have passed away and we've sold their home we have no reason to make the trek.

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.

I worked in NJ for a summer during college. And, because of Harold and Kumar I couldn't wait to try White Castle when I got out there. I was very disappointed.

There was a White Castle within walking distance of my dorm at the University of Indiana... it was open 24 hours a day... do I even need to tell you how many sacks of sliders we ate that year?!?

Church's is ok, but it sucks that the Denver area stores don't have white gravy for the chicken strips like they do in TX

Dude, it's about the iPhone X these days. iPhone 8 was soooo last month.

In n Out is a solid burger, when you factor in the price it’s arguably the best burger. It’s cheap, it has fresh ingredients and the thousand island sauce is good.

There used to be a couple of joints here that had food very similar to In 'N Out, one was here in Parker. Burgers 'N Sports? Something like that. Pretty dang good, I liked 'em. Seems the rumor was they were somehow related to In 'N Out, owned by a former employee or something. Been gone several years, health dept. violations or some such BS, probably threats of lawsuits too.

Then there's that place in The Springs that's also similar, but not quite, Drifters. Also good, but different enough to stay under the lawyers radar I reckon.

Anyway, good stuff. Never had a real In 'N Out burger, I avoid California. But I'm anxious to give it a whirl.

My all-time faves are private, local joints in my hometown in Enid, OK - Lottaburger, Lenox Drive In, and the Flamingo Lounge. Ain't gonna find those burgers anywhere else. There's some killers in El Reno too at Sid's Diner.

It was Old School Burgers (originally Burgers N Sports), last one was seized for unpaid taxes.
