Popped up on Reddit his morning. If Anthony Bourdain liked In-N-Out then I would too.
Okay, I think this video has convinced me I need to go back and try it the way he had it. I just got a single patty cheeseburger and didn't get it animal style. Clearly the double animal style is the way to go.
Best thing about Anthony is that he loved these types of places. He loved Waffle House and the hole in the wall local joints. Thanks for sharing the video and convincing me I did it all wrong the first time!
Yes, animal style is the best IMO.
Regarding the fries, the reason they aren't that good, especially if you don't eat them right away, is they are fresh-cut and then fried. Virtually every other place fries twice.
Without the twice-fried method, the fries aren't as crispy and get downright limp if you don't eat them right away.
I must be weird because I really like their french fries but yes, you do have to eat them pretty quick as Pete said. Occasionally, I’ll get them animal style, but usually I just get them plain with pepper on them. I live on the same block as In-N-Out so I eat there quite frequently. I honestly can’t recall if I’ve ever had an animal style burger, though I might have to try that.
I can't believe the amount of people on this thread alone that are trying In-N-Out burgers that aren't animal style. When I hear someone say they didn't like In-N-Out or say "it's just a fast food burger" I ask them if they had it animal style and 99 out of a 100 times they didn't.
Yes, if you don't get it animal style then it's just a fast food burger. Don't eat In-N-Out burgers that aren't animal style. Just sayin.
I’m gonna go try one tomorrow.
Unpopular opinion, but even when ordered animal style, it's still just a fast food burger. A rather good one, yes, one that rivals many contenders - but still not enough to live up to the unreal hype surrounding the chain imo, and not enough to dethrone my personal fav, Whataburger. (I'd still like them to come to OKC eventually, because sometimes I am craving their style of burger!)
I tried the animal style burger, and indeed, it was good. Oddly enough, this sh!t coincidentally popped up on my Facebook page. I went and did it yesterday and it was pretty damn good!
Sorry for the low image quality, but it basically says this:
“Double double cheeseburger animal style, cold cheese, extra raw chopped onion, add chillies, add spread to the top bun, and ketchup to the spread to the spread.”
^^^
That looks like a good way to to mess up an animal style burger. Not really even an animal style burger anymore. (The chilies are intriguing, though).
What makes their burger animal style. I know what makes the fries animal style. It's when they cover them with that cat vomit. Do they put that on the burger?
Main difference is that it has grilled onions and pickles and the patty is grilled with mustard.
'Ruin' may have been too critical of a word. Just seems too different from animal style to still call it that, unless the mustard grilled patty is what really defines one. I've had purists tell me it's no longer animal style since I don't get the pickles, which, honestly, seems fair.
The cold cheese and "extra" raw onions reminds me more of school cafeteria cheeseburgers. ha.
It just depends on what kind of mood I’m in. If I get a smash burger, I’ll definitely want my cheese melted on the patty. But sometimes cold cheese taste pretty good on a hot burger. I can’t explain it. It’s one of the reasons I also really like a Johnny’s burger in Oklahoma with the shredded cheese.
I'm 100% on board with this opinion. I have had In n Out dozens if not hundreds of times, in California, in Texas, in other States. I've had them animal style, chopped chilis, mustard grilled, you name it. I like it, I eat it when returning to OKC from dfw now and then, and pretty much anytime I have been driving all day in California. It is good, but it is a rather basic burger that yes, uses decent quality ingredients for a large chain. It is also very easy to find countless others of equal or better quality all over OKC. I truly have never gotten why people want it so bad, it's chain food. It's good, but it's chain food, never miss it at all.
I don't understand the hype for Whataburger. Every time I eat there which might be once every couple of years I think what is supposed to be so special about this? I just don't get it. It's not bad, just nothing special IMO. Nothing I just got to have.
