Actually I'm leaning toward the op on this one. if what he is saying is true, she acted like she has no home training. Now the OP did over react, but that comes with you (poor impulse control is common in those that have only had said impulses for a few years). But being wasteful and bad manners is something that should be nipped in the but by parents before school even starts(k-12).
I would have handled it differently, not blown up just finish the date politely and resolved never to see her again.
it's not the cost of the date it's the principle, if she behaves like that at a burger joint, she'll do it with surf and turf(if the steak is not juuuust right).
So what? This isn't a Disney Channel sitcom. Couples fight sometimes. The bottom line is they both wanted to straighten things out.

That's hilarious.

Yes, we do interpret the situation differently, but that doesn't mean you're not twisting things.
You have downplayed their relationship, and you've made her comments seem far worse (pig vs. little piggy).

The fast food thing has been their only issue. And even though it blew up, it's rather trivial.

More twisting. The OP said they've had a great time together. They simply have different views regarding food. It's really not a big deal, and it certainly doesn't mean they're incompatible.
I figure that I might as well give a little update on what happened.
Me and her ended up reaching out on Skype and things didn't start off good and they only got worse. She refused to apologize since she believes that she didn't do anything wrong. She claimed that she was just giving her honest opinion in a way that she usually expresses herself. I told her to apologize for being condescending towards me, but she demanded an apology for insulting her homemade cooking and calling her snobby and pretentious. Neither of us were willing to apologize and then she insulted me by saying "I don't think I've ever met someone so trashy as to get this mad over defending fast food." I then pointed out that she was being snobby again by talking down to me for liking fast food and we argued to the point where we were yelling over each other and we couldn't even make out what was being said. She then suggested that we stop seeing each other and I snapped. I yelled "FINE! **** YOU!" and I slammed my laptop shut. I immediately felt bad and I tried calling her on Skype again, but she wouldn't answer. And you want to know what she does an hour later? She sends me a photo-shopped picture of my face on a pig's body with a pig snout where my nose is and an In-N-Out bag on the pig's back.
Now I'm thinking of getting her back in some way. Her parents are very anti-military and she told me that she once tried to enlist in the Army behind their backs. She said that they would probably disown her if they ever found out that she tried to enlist, so now I'm thinking of maybe contacting them on Facebook and telling them about how she tried to enlist.
Good grief. If you actually betray her trust to spite her, you're not even remotely close to have a relationship with ANYONE.

I clicked on this thread on Friday on my work PC just before I left for the day. Luckily, it was still open when I got in this morning. It swelled from 3 to 12 pages in that time. Probably more than I wanted to read on this topic but the above quote was worth it.
For the record, we have In and Out in my town. It's ok; they're burgers are fine (though the double is messy) and I do enjoy the Neapolitan shakes very much.
The lady drives 4 hours to see him, and he offers a 8 dollar meal and a fight.
and insults her cooking skills. I would understand him being hurt if he had cooked her something, but arguing over a fast food chain. beyond ridiculous.

Same here. I laughed out loud.

There aren't any In-N-Out's in New Mexico, so she was really looking forward to eating there since I had been hyping it up a lot. We got some to go and took it back to my place and that's where things got really bad. She took a bite out of her burger and had some fries and she was awfully quiet. She usually talks a lot and is very exclamatory when she eats food that she likes, so I knew that she wasn't impressed. She told me that the cheese was too overwhelming and she could barely taste the meat, and she also thought the fries were bland. Then she tried her Neapolitan shake and she didn't like that either. She just referred to it as "sludge" and she told me that she wasn't going to finish any of what she ordered.

What I've learned from this thread is that I have to try the Neapolitan shake. Why didn't I think of that??
OP, I'm dying to know what you guys ate on the other couple of occasions. Not a joke, I seriously would like to know. Just curious.
