  • Essay / In-n-Out Burger - 828

    In-n-Out Burger My dad and I just rented a red Chrysler Sebring at LAX Airport in California. We were very hungry because we had been on a plane for over 6 hours without eating anything except honey roasted peanuts. On our way out of the airport, we spotted a fast food restaurant that had a large sign printed in McDonald's colors saying the "In-n-Out" burger. It was around 1 p.m. and there was a huge line on the ride, but we were too hungry to look anywhere else, so we decided to park and go inside. The restaurant's interior had a 1950s burger appeal with its checkerboard floor, framed photos of 57 Chevrolets, and tiled walls. There was a red booth and swivel stools to sit on and red wallpaper in the shape of a small palm tree lining the walls. The queue started up to the entrance. There were only 2 registers but we were able to order within minutes. The menu was very simple with only a burger, cheese burger, double cheese burger and fries to eat; and only a selection of sodas and milkshakes to drink. I decided to get a cheese burger with fries which cost me a total of $3.90. It didn't take long for us to receive our food and we ate outside under a red and yellow patterned umbrella where I was about to eat the most delicious burger I had ever tasted. Everything about this burger was perfect, the bun was lightly toasted, the lettuce was fresh and crisp, the tomatoes were full of flavor and the cheese was perfectly melted on a juicy meat patty. The "special sauce" had a noticeable tangy sweetness but not overpowering. The fries tasted like they were cut right before putting them in the fryer, which they were. Driving up the California coast, we stopped at other places along the way. Each one was filled with customers and was always a pleasant experience. I wondered why this increasingly popular restaurant chain hadn't expanded further east or even globally. The first In-N-Out Burger was founded by Harry and Esther Snyder in Baldwin Park, California. Harry thought about the innovative idea of ​​having the first drive-up hamburger stand in California that communicated with its customers via a two-way radio speaker..
