In-N-Out Burger

Southern California may have also spawned the golden arches, but no other regional fast food export has built a devoted local and out-of-towner following quite like In-N-Out. “Did you go to In-N-Out?” is bound to come up in any conversation when a tourist visits our burger-loving city, and even for locals, it’s hard to argue with the less-than-$3 cheeseburgers, the late-night hours and the famous not-so-secret menu that offers a surprising level of customization for a fast-food spot. As for the fries…if you’re not a fan of soft (some might say soggy) fries, ask for your fries well-done. For those who love Thousand Island spread, order the off-menu animal-style fries, which come topped with plenty of creamy orange spread, grilled onions and melted cheese. We swear our eternal allegiance.
