In-n-Out arrived in Utah and created quite a stir....people waited for hours. Our first chance to try it was about 3 months later ....it's way out in the burbs.
I too was very disappointed, completely underwhelmed, and confused about all the hype on my first visit to In-N-Out (Reno is the closest at 80+ miles). But then I did some Googling and Wiki-ing: - It's family-owned; not a franchise operation like all the others. - The ingredients are fresh, never frozen. (Those gross fries were cut from real potatoes on-site, and not bathed in trans-fat.) - The employees are paid a living wage. - The menu you should order from is secret. (Next time ask for "Fries, Well-done")
I don't frequent burger joints or fast-food in general (and I'm averse to the Bible verse references), but I've been back a couple times (months apart), and it's better each time.
Dedicated to and an off-shoot of Lora's original Urbanity Blog...
I live 15 minutes north of downtown Salt Lake City
I work 15 minutes southwest of downtown
My life seems to circle the urbanity of Salt Lake
I love the opposing forces of the city and the country life, mormon and non-mormon, and the beauty of this place I call home
I cannot imagine my life without the constant backdrop of the mountains
And I want to share all of that with all of you
My regular blog, where I post all things Thauna...Just-Thauna

Also, you should know that there was/is a Utah counterfeit operation named Chadder's.
Yep there is a secret menu... if you want the works on your burger ask for animal style!
