Two Mile Long Line For A Double Double








Anyone who was ever in Pasadena with any ties to the WCG has probably had a burger at IN-N-OUT Burger on Walnut Street.  That is of course unless you were one of Armstrognism's food fanatics.

In-n-Out is a home grown institution that started here in Southern CA. Started by the Snyder family it is still a family owned business.  All the food is fresh and never frozen.  Service is fast and friendly with many employees making careers with the company. 

They feed all the people that work and participate in the Rose Parade each January 1st with over 10,000 burgers. And with no apologies, all their burger wrappers and cups have a Bible scripture somewhere on it.


There is a great story in the London Daily Mail today about an IN-N-OUT that opened in Texas recently. Cars were in a two mile long line!  The IN-N-OUT in Glendale can have 30 some cars in line for several hours at a time around lunch and dinner time.

I wonder if Flurry and Weinland will have a stand ready in Petra when they all show up next year?  Perhaps Spanky has ordered one when he takes his little flock to Petra when Thiel's 2012 predictions come true.

I do fear the end is near; nearly here; oh, dear, oh, dear! It is clear, have a beer, eat some steer. It's that seer, that's what I hear. Get in gear, join a peer, get out of here!

Yes, dear friends... the end is near. It is coming soon. Perhaps as soon as later this year or 2012.

Roderick Meredith will be leaving us.

And not in a good way.

Or maybe, that's just a point of view: How long can he last?

I used to join that line on Walnut street, but it was never longer than just a few cars. Terrific burgers!

They came to Scottsdale while I lived in Phoenix but I only stopped in a couple of times.

What is the big deal? A hamburger is a hamburger is a hamburger. Sometimes I wonder about the human race!

"What is the big deal? A hamburger is a hamburger is a hamburger. Sometimes I wonder about the human race!"

My version: 12 ounces of 80/20 black angus ground beef, patty barely pressed together and sprinkled with Old Bay Seasoning and Tony's granulated garlic, grilled on a very hot charcoal grill with a small piece of Ohio Apple wood in the coals for some sweet smokiness and cooked to medium rare. The juice runs down your hands down to your elbows as you bite into this jucy burger nestled in your favorite bun. Condaments optional but not required.

Steve, this is pure euphoria. And no not all burgers are the same, unless you are a vega. :<)

I don't care if a hamburger has snot from the queen of England on it. I wouldn't stand in line for two hours for it.
