Some days I feel fully integrated as a Californian. Other days I am almost run over by cars slamming it to try to get the most aggressively mid burgers run by evangelicals

I’ve been trying to understand the love of In N Out for a while. The best I can do is: someone explained it as ‘the best burger you get for five bucks without leaving your car’ and I guess that’s right.
I am never getting a burger in cars. I am never in cars, so I don’t get it I suppose

@skinnylatte is it like Costco in some ways? Do you go to Costco? (I don't).

@skinnylatte I grew up here, and I am completely mystified be people’s preference for buying and eating food in their cars. It’s usually even *faster* to eat inside, because there’s no line there!

@skinnylatte "it's not as bad as McDonald's" is all I managed to figure out after a decade.

@skinnylatte I’m celiac, and In N Out has an excellent gluten protocol as long as you order protein style (or ask for “gluten allergy” option) with sauce on the side. The fryers aren’t shared with anything else and so it’s the safest fast food for me. I love them for this. There is no other fast food for me without a large risk of getting glutened

@skinnylatte it’s also by far the worst French fries you can get at any price.
