In-N-Out donates $25,000 to California Republican Party, under Trump. There's a boycott.

Fry them up on a greased skillet, smash them flat with a spatula a minute or so in, and you can make something pretty close in style to In-n-Out, but better.

A single beyond patty costs about the same complete double double, alas (and that’s before you add fixin’s)

I really don’t understand the french fry hate. Is it because they’re fresh potatoes and all y’all are used to frozen stuff? Extra crispy Animal Style Fries with chopped chilies is from the gods. I would murder any of you for them.

For those not aware In-N-Out has also been a legendary standout in paying fast food workers amazing wages beyond minimum. It completely shows in how friendly and how hard working every single employee is there.

So now I need to decide if they deserve my money or not.

So if they had donated to the GOP back when Reagan or Dubya was president, you would have been okay with that and would agree there was no cause for a boycott?

I think the difference with Five Guys fries is the peanut oil. That and their gimmick of ignoring the size of the paper tray, and just dumping a shit-ton of fries in your tray or carry-out bag.

There’s always plenty left when you steal some on the way home.

I do like accidents in my favor. :confused:

The menu is confusing, but it has unparalleled power. Tenders + nuggets + nuggets is an experience.

ETA:
They do have bible verses on the cups though. What is it with religious people and starting fast food chains?

I live about a mile away from a Rally’s. Don’t waste your time or money.

When I lived in Seattle, it was always Jack-in-the-Crack (er, Box).

I guess what I don’t get about the menu is like… the ala carte prices are all over the place, but I can get a tray of ANY entree plus ANY two sides for $5.99 or whatever? It’s always so busy that I don’t dare ask for detail or risk making an order that violates some unwritten rule.

Except that In N Out doesn’t. Their messaging is very simple. They put it on the bottom of drink cups, inside the rim, if you didn’t know to look for it, you wouldn’t know it was there. They don’t advertise it and they don’t turn causes into publicity issues.

I would try asking the library. They likely have a record of the books you’ve checked out.

(Even if you’ve moved or something, and don’t use the same library anymore, ask your current librarian for assistance finding the book again—they’re there to help you.)

it wasn’t a helicopter crash. His private jet was lining up in a traffic pattern to land and it was too close to the commercial jet (757) in front. The wake/turbulence from that jet sent his corporate jet down. It crashed in an undeveloped area in Santa Ana.

(I remember it as if it happened yesterday, since we were living nearby.)

I had to give up on Chick-Fil-A for lunch after that boycott; The line has wrapped around the building at lunch time ever since.

I expect something similar will be experienced by In-n-Out.

But I’ll join the In-n-Out boycott. Since the nearest one is ~400 miles from me, I’ll be an enthusiastic participant.

I accept your challenge. What else do you remember about the book?

Here are a few possibilities in the meantime.
Potato: a global history
The complete book of potatoes: what every grower and gardener needs to know
Potato: a history of the propitious esculent
The potato book
Notes of a potato watcher

Hands up! Who had to often eat an (Eddie Murphy-style) green pepper homemade burger as a kid?

Just once it would be fun to see In-N-Out replace one of the Bible verses on their cups with Ezekiel 25:17.

If your primary concern is less taxes and fewer regulations, and you are willing to support fascists in order to achieve those goals, then I have no respect for the people making that choice.

Breadcrumbs, egg, onions, bell peppers. Yeah.

Now if you want to grill a green chili and throw it on top, I’m totally down with that.

That’s the basic conceit, yeah. Any entree + 2 sides + a drink for $5. It’s not quite flat rate because you’ll be charged more if you have your burger in a ‘style’ (like with bacon, cheddar, and bbq sauce) or if you, say, ask for cheese on your fries, but that’s mostly it.
