Had to drive through Holbrook today, and I saw a vision....
There is an In-N-Our Burger going up on Main Street in Holbrook.
It does have "Joe's" added to it, but it's the same color scheme, same typeface, etc...
I didn't notice when I was in Vegas, are the franchisee's allowed to add a name to the title?
...OR....
am I disillusioned and this is not the same chain?
Inn and Out isn't franchised all units are chains owned by the Snyder family. They don't license their logo, colors, anything...this is nothing more then a copy cat! This is nothing more then blasphemy and god willing they will close up the first week they are open! HOW DARE ANYONE TRY TO COPY INN AND OUT! OUTRAGOUES!Quote:

The resemblance is uncanny.
All American will stomp on their colons (and the colons of their unborn children) anyway.
There are already lots of copy cats of the burger itself, I haven't heard of anyone using the colors and typeface though. Shake Shack in Madison Square Park is supposedly pretty close, but the line is usually over an hour long at lunchtime so I've yet to get around to trying it.Quote:

Here is the blasphemy I was talking about!
I apologize for the quality, it was after 8pm, and I was driving at the time.

Listen zipper heads! I'll forgive you because you have not had the religious experience of having an IN-N-OUT Burger so you have NO clue of what you’re missing. So this poo pooing the Godliness of IN-N-OUT is forgiven this time…next time you will not be so lucky! There is nothing like stepping off a flight at LAX and making your first stop the IN-N-OUT on Sepulveda Blvd for a perfectly cooked Double Double! You all can have your "Joe's IN-N-OUT” I’ll stick to the original!
Wow, Tommy, a little cranky this morning!Quote:

Jeez! No wonder that shot of you drinking it was so blurry!Quote:

Iffin you disagree I challenge you to a duel using nothing more than french fries, frankfurters and hamburger patties.
Oh I agree All American is fantastic but from a Chain standpoint IN-N-Out can't be beat.Quote:

Well it's a good burger, but definitely not the best I've had. I wouldn't go all the way to LA for it. Go for LAX, then go for the burger. ;)Quote:

Nice, whoever it was should get free burgers for a year!
In related news, I tried a new In-N-Out-style burger place called "5 Guys" in Midtown the other day. Apparently they started in DC and they have shops in College Point and Brooklyn. Burger was hand made, double patties, whatever toppings you want, not In-N-Out but quite good. Unfortunately the fries were pretty weak, and it's expensive...cheeseburger + fries + drink came to over $14.
The one in College Point is next to my bank. Anyone, let me know if you want to try it with me.
Wow that's a total rip off! Inn-N-Out for the same meal is 5 bucks!Quote:

The Midtown one isn't very glamorous either despite its pretty high profile location on 55th between 5th and 6th. Also, if you like peanuts (I don't) they have barrels of free salted and unsalted for the taking.
Hmmm the thought of communal peanuts on 5th Ave isn't so appetizing... :(Quote:

Its just that the jet fuel permeates through the burger seasoning and it makes the burger seem a bit better. Thats all. :wink: :mrgreen: :wink:
In fact, $10 says that if I gave you a burger from In and Out and one from All American, you can't tell the difference.
BUT, I will further hypothesize that if you took All American and relocated it to just outside JFK, suddenly, All American would be as good, if not better, than In and Out.
Got a trip to LAX soon and we'll hit In and Out on the days that I go spotting just cause its convenient, not b/c they overprocess their cow any better than anyone else.
Want good cow? http://www.pacificdiningcar.com/ Comes recommended by a friend and I recently read another article about it. A 24 hour steakhouse in an old railroad car. I can't wait :mrgreen:
Flame away, Senor Tomas!!
The Pacific Dining Car is in LA, right? I was there back in '04. I liked it.
YOU have no clue what your talking about! When it comes to Chain fast food joints Inn-N-Out is top. Yes All American is much better...and you would have seen I said that if you read this entire post ;) Pacific Dinning car is a one location joint so you can't compare, hell Bubba Burgers on my own BBQ are better then Inn-N-Out but from a chain standpoint they are the best, no question. I've enjoyed Inn-N-Out at each location that I've visited and not just the one outside LAX. Now since you have decided to $hit on the Inn-N-Out name I'll send your picture to their legal dept as well for looking into ;) LOLOLQuote:
