In-N-Out coming to Colorado

[Skip]

I'm guessing it's mostly like Apple. When a new In n Out opens, gotta eat there to get the new Iburger 8! Why is it so good? Because it's In n Out from California and lots of people like it! But why is it so awesome? BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE SAY SO. It's f'n fabulous man, just like an iPhone 8, nothing comes close to it. You just have to believe. Don't be a heretic, have some faith when you bite into that burger that it's the best f'n thing you've ever had and it will be.

Culture is so doomed in fifty years.

So wrong.

The new fad burger joint is Shake Shack. Which is excellent, btw.

In and Out is the classic. A return to classics can only help the culture in multiple ways. It's like the "take a kid shooting" of burger joints. Beach Boys over Katy Perry.

Yes, this is the fast food we ate before the fake fast food of today. And they don't use marketing on your kids to pressure you to go so he can think he's getting a cheap made-in-China toy that turns out to be a three page coloring book with two crayons.

Oh, and I'm going to have to buy a few pairs of pants in the next size. Just in case.

Meh, about as excited as the arrival Krispy Kreme. Not very.

What if Krispy Kreme partnered w/ In-N-Out to make a donut-bun burger?

Go to Crave Burger, order the "Luther" and be done with it...

Literally "done with it"

Toes up, out the door!

Stuft in Fort Collins, Greeley, and Windsor also has donut buns.

I prefer my novelty to be traditional. These upstart chains with their shenanigans...

The place I will miss is Griff in Arvada.

Yes! It was awful but awfully good!

on the subject of chicken instead of burgers... when I was in Tulsa, I was introduced to Charlie's Chicken... their chicken chunks (while not an appealing name) are far and above any other chicken I've gotten at a restaurant.


certainly if someone has a memory they're trying to get back to, it will trump the actual quality of the food... closest thing I have to that is Korn fritters from Sourdough Mining Co in Anchorage (Now out of business, but I have the recipe from when I worked there)

[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.
