Why Texans Don't Go to In-N-Out Burger

[PinnedandRecessed]

That's not a bad price. I like Dan's here in Austin. A double meat double cheese is ~$7. Curly fries bumps it up to 11ish.

When you consider cost it can be hard to argue against some fast food prices if you're cooking for one. A local taco place makes a red salsa I love. All the ingredients are fire roasted. A large salsa from them is $8. It's a little smaller than a pint. The cost for me to buy onions, garlic cloves, peppers, tomatoes and cilantro is over $8. Then I spend the time fire roasting the items and making the apt smell like smoke. Yes I get ~2 pints of salsa. But I'm usual not going to use the 2 pints before it starts to go bad. So I buy the salsa from them every few weeks. I have not done the same cost analysis for a burger so I'm not sure if it translates the same for a burger. I'm assuming most people are not making a smaller smash style burger at home. I know I don't.

True. Sometimes eating out is just cheaper depending on what it is. My wife won't eat leftovers and we don't have kids so doubly true for us. $24.99 16oz steak dinner with all the fixins at Texas Roadhouse is pretty reasonable when you're pricing out ribeyes in the meat case.

Well, now you've got me craving a bacon cheeseburger and a shake from Dan's. And the nearest Dan's is...191 miles away.

I won't show you the actual bacon double cheeseburger. I'm not a total A hole.

Dan's is good if you can find a clean one, The one closest to us (Buda) is trashed every time we've been in there.

That's a pity. Last couple of times I ate at Dan's it was the Buda location and it was well kept. Years ago, though.

As far as fast food goes, I like In-N-Out. About a mile from me there is a fast food row. In-N-Out, McD’s, Wendy, Whataburger, Five Guys, and Sonic are almost within spittin’ distance of each other. Google and Yelp reviews are 2-3 stars for all except In-N-Out and Five Guys, both of which are high 4’s. Not surprising, they have better food but Five Guys is way overpriced. Just don’t over expect for fast food and In-N-Out is good. Just get the fries ”animal style” and all is good.

If I'm off the next time you come down here I'll buy you a bacon double cheese burger. Just give me a heads up

It may be a while. With my parents gone, there's not much reason for a visit anymore.

 

[General Zod]

...But the offer is definitely apprecaited!

Not when I can get rib eye or Tbone steaks on sale for $6/lb.

When I drove by In n out last night around 10pm the drive through line was out to the street. At least 15 cars. I was surprised. I still don't get it

Given where he is eating lunch, I think that has been ruled out already.

I passed three Whata boogers and 4 Mc cracks getting there.

I just tried the new Jucy’s burger place in Palestine. It was really good. It was also expensive, but I felt like I got my money’s worth.

Our local Whataburger has an excellent Patty Melt with bacon.
The bacon ranch burger at the local Chili's is excellent.
