Burger - This burger is why the In-N-Out ratings system was designed. Compared to every other burger in the world it was great. Compared to the best In-N-Out Burger ever, it was just average. There was too much thick/white lettuce. The double tomato is more of a presentation issue, not sure if I should really be deducting for that anymore. And I had probably two or three full bites of bun left over at the end. But other than those minor issues, the burger was tasty and what you'd expect from In-N-Out. Just nothing standing out to make it the best one ever.

Taste - 1.65 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.6 (out of 2)

Presentation - .8 (out of 1)

Fries - These were some really good french fries. When I first got them I was afraid they would be limp and mushy because of their light color. However, they ended up being firm, crispy, and not overly dry on the inside. Texture wise they were almost about perfect. And while I didn't need any more salt and pepper for once, the taste was unfortunately not at the same quality as the texture. Still, some of the better fries in recent memory.

So pretty much nothing interesting happened, but I did notice for the first time that In-N-Out has a system in place for order of ingredients. I guess that's to be expected but I hadn't really noticed before. It appears to go, from top to bottom, bun, cheese, meat, lettuce, tomato, sauce, bun.

I'm on a roll!

Burger - I've really grown to love the extra lettuce. Overall this burger was very good but not amazing. No one thing stood out as being something fantastic taste wise, but every part of the burger was well above average and when put together made for a pretty delicious cheeseburger. Presentation was spot on in my opinion, nothing lopsided or falling out. Which is strange because I did end up with probably two full bites of everything except hamburger at the end. Texture was almost as perfect as can be. I honestly can't think of anything that was wrong with the texture so I'm going to have to give that part full marks. Taste wise, like I said everything was above average but nothing jumped out at me. At In-N-Out that still blows every other burger joint away though.

Texture - 2.0 (out of 2)

Presentation - .9 (out of 1)

Fries - I liked the fries quite a bit. There weren't as crispy as I would have liked but overall the texture was pretty good. And the taste was fairly standard and once I put the salt and pepper on the were pretty good. Much like the burger it wasn't perfect but it was well above average for In-N-Out.

Nothing really interesting. Was a warm day. I did eat the burger while it was still in the wrapper. I mean, I didn't eat the wrapper as well, but the extra lettuce has been fairly messy lately so I decided to not remove it completely. Worked out for the better. Fun fact: I resize my images to 29% of their original size. I think I've done a few that different %, but for the most part it's always 29%.

Burger - Once again extra lettuce. My order these days is now a Cheeseburger no onions, extra lettuce, mustard fried, no pickles. I'm going to stick with this for a while imagine, but I think from time to time I might have to take out a bit of lettuce. Not only does too much of it mask the other flavors but it can get messy pretty quick. Still, I really do like the extra lettuce. I can't give near perfect marks on taste though, due to the masking of the flavors with too much lettuce. The texture of this burger was pretty spot on. Nothing was too crunchy or soggy at all. Almost every bite was perfect. Although I did have a few extra bites of bun leftover at the end. Presentation wise the extra lettuce also makes it hard to judge, but I can't fault them for not being able to put that much lettuce on and make it perfect looking. I mean, it's like a salad between a two buns.

Taste - 1.65 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.9 (out of 2)

Fries - Probably some of the worst fries I've ever had at In-N-Out, which is a shame. They were limp and flimsy, no crunch whatsoever. Not only that but despite putting salt on them they didn't have hardly any flavor. They weren't "gross", just really sub-par.

You want something interesting? Yeah, I can't do that today. Nothing noteworthy was seen or heard.

Burger - Extra lettuce is now standard as part of my order. And as usual mustard fried is there as well. The burger was really good, but extra lettuce does get a bit sloppy as the lettuce doesn't really have an anchor and falls out quite a bit. Nothing extra special to say about this burger other than I had a bit more than usual left over at the end. Just bun really and small bits of lettuce and tomato, assuming some cheese in there as well. But once I'm done with the meat I don't generally eat the rest as it has more of a burnt grilled cheese taste. I've always found that strange.

Fries - These were some of the best fries in quite a long time. I had intentions of trying well done fries, but as my wife was with me and we were sharing I decided to appease her and just get normal fries. Luckily for me they were actually quite a bit more done than they have been in the last few months. They ended up nice and crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside. And as always, salt and pepper had to be added.

Nothing exciting. Most interesting thing I saw were two cops and one was definitely tired as he was resting his head on the table. Well more like on his arm, but his arm was flat on the table.

Wow, totally forgot to write this over the weekend. Good thing I actually remember most everything about the meal. Unfortunately though there was nothing of interest outside of the meal, so this will just be a food review.

Burger - I tried something new again, but nothing as extreme as a double-double. This time I got extra lettuce and it was totally worth it. One of the problems I find w/ In-N-Out is the inconsistency with the lettuce proportions. Getting too little lettuce makes the burger just take like ground beef and american cheese, or sometime like a grilled cheese. So yeah this was really good but next time I will make sure to go back to mustard fried as well. I kind of got used to that slight mustard taste and found myself missing it. Texture wise everything was pretty good. Nothing was over cooked or soggy. Almost perfect. Presentation could have used some work though. The lettuce was put on sloppily so I had to adjust its position multiple times and there were a few bites that seemed to be more on the meat and cheese side of the ratio than everything else. But otherwise a really good burger.

Fries - Sadly the fries didn't live up to the burger. Actually the taste was pretty good but offset by the lack of seasoning and the fact that weren't nearly done enough. None of the full fries were crispy at all and I had to eat some of those really small pieces just to get some crunch.

One thing I will say is that I am thinking about removing the proper amount of S&P on the fries as part of the criteria. The reasoning is that in all the times I've been doing this I think there has only been a perfect amount once or twice. It's so rare that using it as part of the judgement is likely to end up with never getting anywhere near a overall perfect score for the meal.

I decided to try something that I haven't tried in many years, a Double-Double. And here are the results...

Burger - Well, I now remember why I don't get the Double-Double. There is way too much meat and cheese on that thing. And you can taste the burnt parts of the meat more and all the extra cheese sticks in your mouth. At that point you can barely taste the bun, lettuce and tomato. So how do I rate this thing? Well, it was messy. It tasted OK overall. Maybe I should have left the extra tomato on this time. Could have used more lettuce as well to offset all the meat. It's not that the burger itself was gross, I just felt gross eating it. Presentation wise it looked fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Picking it up I instantly could tell it was heavier than a normal cheeseburger. Texture wise it was mostly fine. Maybe a bit one note because there wasn't much lettuce so everything was fairly soft. Man, I'll never get one of these things again.

Taste - 1.4 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.5 (out of 2)

Presentation - .8 (out of 1)

Fries - On the other hand, these fries were near perfect. They had the great crispy texture on the outside but not dry on the outside. I added salt and pepper but I'm considering no longer taking seasoning into consideration as part of the score as I'm almost always adding more.

I don't think there was anything interesting. I should have taken a picture of the dog at the table next to us. He was giving me a look almost the entire time. Also, the guys at the counter are starting to remember me. One mentions my "cool" shirts and this time the guy asked where I worked. Apparently he's neighbors with a coworker of mine.

I'm a few days late on this one, my bad. I hope it doesn't affect the accuracy of my review.

Burger - It was nothing extraordinary but it was still pretty good even by In-N-Out standards. Not enough lettuce for my liking and it was a fair bit lopsided as I probably had a good three bites of just bun at the end. Well I would have if I bothered to eat the just bun bites. I do remember the bun edges being pretty toasted to the point of being hard.

Fries - These were some of the absolute best fries I've ever had at In-N-Out. Honestly, outside of maybe needing a bit more salt and pepper there wasn't really anything wrong with them. Texture was great, slightly crispy on the outside and still soft on the inside but not overly dry either.
