Size vs. quality, I guess. It’s food, people. Make it yourselves. Know what you eat.

Seems a lot of attention if not many people know the “special” stuff on offer there. 

I wonder if Apple would do better if it had secret devices you could make special requests for from the Apple Store staff…

The tagline “That’s how we seal in the juices!” made me a little uncomfortable, though, and that and the queues meant I didn’t try one. Now I’m kicking myself again.

I really don’t get what the hype is all about. It’s okay, but I actually prefer Burger King. It’s probably just a matter of scarcity masquerading as value.

Now, Del Taco vs. Taco Bell, THERE I’ll take the regional chain any day.

Probably worse on your transmission to park than it is on your brakes to stay in drive.

One question: were other people waiting 40 minutes – 3 hours for a burger also ordering off the Internet not-so-secret menu? Or were they there for the hype and buying regular cheeseburgers?

I hit that place on the way back from the Ft. Worth zoo. Great fries, too. I also like Twisted Root, but more for their homemade root beer and cool vibe.

Anyway, I agree that In-N-Out is nothing special.  Just a hair better than some of the more common alternatives.  Since I know you’re in the Dallas area you should try out Smash Burger if you get the chance.  I haven’t tried Five Guys yet so I don’t know how they compare.  And if you feel like dining-in for a fancier burger there’s the former Mansion chef John Tesar’s new burger bar called The Commissary.  Be prepared to wait a stupid long time for your order to get to your table though.  Good burger, but I really hope they work out their kitchen times.  Also, I HATE having to valet at any restaurant… much less for a burger.

Never found In-n-out to be worth the hype. I’d love to try Whataburger or Five Guys if ever I’m in your neck of the woods. Agree on the fries though, terrible! No preservatives–just fresh cut potatoes, fried in vegetable oil (no animal fat).

I had a good laugh, but your most certainly right about the internet being a hype machine.

Not even Five Blokes?
