I want to try In N Out when I get out to California. I am eager to try the Californian regional cuisine of Hamburger (a kind of sandwich made of minced beef with toppings) as well as what I assume is the traditional accompaniment, French Fries, apparently some kind of warm salad made of fried potato sticks. They sound so exotic!
i've heard of fast-foodie vacations to the west coast due to new england not having many options outside of mcdonalds and burger-king (i was in high school when we got our first wendies).

Ahh, but y'all have Dunkin Donuts. Does that count?

I don't like DD. The only things I think they do reasonably well are cookies and muffins. Their coffee is non-descript, their sandwiches are lousy (especially the ones with mystery meat sausage or "steak"), and their doughnuts are awful.

Perhaps I had a couple of bad batches. The two times I had it I remember having to spit out some mystery chewy bits (cartilage? tendon? bone?). I really dislike those bits in burgers. And I admit I prefer the flavor chargrilled burgers. However, In n Out has quality fixin's and condiments. Yes the fries are underwhelming and soggy.
I think it may be overrated because it was so hyped by my college dormmate, who hailed from San Diego. She was so excited when it first came up to Northern CA. I believe it originated in San Diego?
