Finally a reason to envy Texas (1 Viewer)

[Adam Gregorich]

I'm a big fan of In-N-Out burgers. Whenever we have our LA meets groups of HTFers compare notes on the secret menu and make trips (pilgrimages?) to get double doubles with cheese. Mmmm. I always said that if I could open up one in Washington I would make a fortune. Unfortunately according to Delish they are heading East, not North as they are opening some restaurants in the Dallas area. You lucky bastards....

The Lone Star State is about to go Animal Style. In-N-Out Burger, the beloved West Coast chain famous for its secret menu of burger preparations, is set to open at least eight Texas branches, the Orange County Register reports. Until now the regional giant, which opened its first branch in 1948 in Baldwin Park, CA, has limited its locations to California, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. And even that expansion has been slow — it took the company three years to open just eight restaurants in Utah. More: http://www.delish.com/food/recalls-reviews/in-n-out-goin-to-texas?gt1=47001

The one I've seen being built is taking over from a Steak and Shake. S&S hasn't done particularly well around here. I don't know if they were just overly ambitious or what, but they've closed half the ones I know about. We also just got a Five Guys, which was pretty good but expensive. I just don't know if these fancy pants outsiders can do as well in Texas, where we know our hamburgers. Try Jakes or J.G.s and you'll see. I do resent the lie that there weren't already a million reasons to envy Texas.
