After just finishing reading Fast Food Nation. I can say that In n out does it right. Everything that is wrong with mcdonalds is right with In n out.

They use ground beef that is never frozen, the fries are from fresh cut potatoes, everything is fresh. The milkshakes are made from real icecream. The staff is great and well paid for the fast food industry.

Is it the best burger you can buy. Probably not. But for the price and the quality I doubt you can find many places that are comparable. Plus they have Dr Pepper so they get bonus points from that automatically.

Amen to that. All hail the Doctor.

One thing that chafes living back East is that restaurants rarely have the Dr. in the house.

I love Dr. Pepper. But since I have forsworn caffeine, I don't get it at fast food joints.

Malcolm was also a fan of the old In Out In Out.

I'm sure you mean northern Utah, but there is one in St. George.

In-N-Out is good. It's not the end all be all of hamburgers. Personally, I'd rather have a Tommy's chili burger or even a king burger from FatBurger. I'd also rather eat one of my own burgers I grill with ground angus and mild italian sausage.

But In-N-Out is still one of those places that makes me warm inside when I go. I almost always have to hit up the one in Vegas when in town. And the In-N-Out at the top of hamburger hill off Lyon's Ave. and I-5 in Valencia was the spot in high school; so I think for nostalgia more than anything else I enjoy it.

St. George might as well be Las Vegas/Nevada as far as I'm concerned.

I mix a good ground Angus or sirloin and mild Italian sausage. Usually a pound and a half of beef to a pound of pork sausage. I usually crack an egg or two to bind and keep moist. I then usually add a liberal amount of salt, pepper and A1 sauce or Worcestershire (probably around 1/3 C). I make huge patties about an inch thick. Throw them on a hot clean grill. Sometimes I'll even brush the grill with oil or the meat to get nice grill marks. I usually add a nice melting cheese like provolone and white American. A nice thick cut bacon baked in the oven is a nice topper also.

I just bought the stuff to do this for my game time BBQ tomorrow. Can't wait. Thanks for the suggestion.
