0:03
welcome everyone out of the woo here
0:03
today's adventure
0:04
well i'm gonna take a little break from
0:07
continuing to downsize here at the
0:09
homestead
0:10
and i realized i have not had
0:13
an in-n-out burger since i've returned
0:17
to southern california in fact it was
0:19
even a couple months
0:20
prior to me departing to florida so it's
0:23
probably been
0:24
three maybe four months or more
0:28
since i have had one of those tasty
0:30
burgers
0:31
and fries i'm gonna go through a
0:33
drive-through find a park
0:36
a place to sit and consume one of my
0:40
favorite california
0:44
meals i'm inviting you to join me
0:47
shall you that's right big the foot i
0:50
almost
0:50
always go with a double double and
0:54
animal style fries and i think i will
0:56
again today
0:57
gonna go with the one on the corner of
0:58
state college and
1:00
ball road
1:05
you can see i'm not the only one with
1:05
this idea it is
1:06
it's always very lengthy and today is no
1:10
exception
1:12
the drive-through line i'm referring to
1:15
and there's an employee out taking the
1:16
order
1:16
you don't necessarily have to go up to
1:18
the window they have someone walk out
1:20
just to kind of expedite
1:22
the process and even though there is a
1:24
lot of vehicles in this
1:26
does move very quickly i've always
1:27
noticed every time it goes
1:30
it kind of goes at a pretty rapid pace
1:32
it's all fresh
1:33
it's all made fresh they do it quickly
1:36
i don't believe during this time period
1:38
that indoor dining
1:39
is allotted or allowed i believe it's
1:42
only drive through
1:45
as i sit here i'm just kind of looking
1:46
over at the building itself
1:49
just waiting to move forward
2:06
i'm kind of wondering how do i how do i
2:06
procure a ride or be able to borrow
2:10
the in and out van that could really
2:13
help me with with moving some stuff
2:15
i could take that out to florida they
2:17
would all the florida folk would be very
2:18
surprised when i
2:19
crossed the state line and an in and out
2:22
van
2:22
because they don't have them out there
2:24
on the east coast
2:26
also you'll notice these split palm
2:27
trees there on the far end
2:29
that's kind of a staple at all of the
2:31
locations they always have a split palm
2:33
tree
2:33
in the yard true story now i did order
2:36
back there but here's a look at the
2:37
pricing board i got the double double i
2:39
got a vanilla shake
2:41
i got a large water and i got animal
2:43
style fries
2:44
even some teeny tiny small palm trees
2:47
here this always reminds me of it's a
2:48
mad madman mad mad world the
2:50
the big w which is like that right there
2:52
it looks like that's a
2:53
that's a small w this is a look at the
2:56
receipt
2:57
i went through the first window i'm just
2:59
waiting on the second window to get my
3:00
food
3:02
but this is the total 7.75
3:06
sales tax here in town
3:09
oh yeah now rolling over to a spot where
3:12
i can
3:14
consume this see i'm moving based on the
3:17
shadows
3:19
that's how you know the car is rolling
3:20
going forward
3:23
and the traffic that's about to pull out
3:24
now about to pull out here
3:26
i have chosen this place there's a
3:28
rocket over there
3:30
at that little that little area but i am
3:32
not going towards the rocket i am
3:35
heading towards these picnic tables
3:38
i'm gonna find this guy get this spot
3:40
right here
3:46
yeah this works or maybe that one by the
3:46
road
3:47
and this is like a little more in the
3:48
shade this works
3:50
quality you can taste since 1948
3:53
a couple different bags i was given and
3:55
a couple different cups with the
3:57
beverages
3:57
this would be the vanilla shake this is
4:00
what we're dealing with
4:01
the water which is well i don't think
4:03
they charge me for the water because
4:05
it's not a bottled water
4:06
so you can get a free cup of water the
4:08
shake was a couple bucks
4:10
inside here got the napkins and an item
4:14
and inside here that's probably going to
4:16
be
4:17
the animal style fry so this would be
4:20
the double double let me unwrap this and
4:22
get it going
4:23
what the heck exactly is animal style
4:26
you might be asking yourself
4:27
this is animal style and you can also
4:30
get it on the burger i did not opt for
4:32
animal style
4:33
on the burger itself but i did get the
4:36
the sliced
4:37
full size onion and a lot of extra
4:41
cheese
4:42
now the way i've heard the way it's
4:43
explained to me animal style has
4:45
these kind of diced type of onions here
4:49
and a secret sauce which kind of
4:51
resembles
4:52
a thousand island dressing
4:56
i think that's a lot of places secret
4:58
sauce but they douse it
4:59
on the freshly cut if you've ever been
5:02
inside
5:03
they cut the fries right in front of you
5:06
they don't it's they're not just sitting
5:07
there frozen they are fresh they take
5:09
the potato
5:10
and they put it through the little
5:12
little cruncher and go
5:17
crunch it down and i'm about to crunch
5:17
down
5:18
i'm about to crunch down on this because
5:19
this is this is much needed
5:22
this is for my own personal well-being
5:25
of my thought process not the most
5:27
healthy meal
5:28
the cow i don't even want to know what
5:29
the calories are on this
5:31
but heck it i'm going in
5:34
in and out now it is the age
5:37
debate is
5:40
this fast food you want to call it fast
5:42
food it is glorious
5:44
in my opinion is this establishment
5:48
in and out can i get the bag here can i
5:51
even hold this here i'm trying to get
5:52
everything in the frame for a good
5:54
little little photo op
5:56
is there we go there that's a good one
5:59
all right can i you know i'm trying to
6:00
like put this against my chin
6:02
it looks like i'm wearing a having like
6:04
a bib on there we go
6:11
that's a good one i got it all whoa
6:11
someone's driving very fast they might
6:13
be heading over to the drive-through now
6:15
as well the age-old question the debate
6:18
is
6:18
this establishment in and out burger
6:21
does it live up to the hype
6:23
is it really as good
6:26
as people say it is what's my thoughts
6:30
thanks for asking because i'm going to
6:32
explain what explain them right now
6:34
i love this place
6:38
yes that is a tasty looking burger yes
6:41
that is a
6:42
delicious delicacy all its own there
6:45
lathered up in the goodness but it is
6:48
more than just
6:49
the deliciousness of the food for me it
6:52
has a lot to do
6:53
with memories and
6:56
past experiences with people that i care
6:59
about
7:00
family friends loved ones acquaintances
7:03
that i have taken to many
7:07
many in and outs over my lifetime
7:10
so combining the taste of these items
7:14
along with you know the past and some
7:17
nostalgia
7:18
it's a win-win dare i say
7:25
the best fast food fast food restaurant
7:25
out there at least in southern
7:26
california
7:28
when you think of socat well all of
7:29
california when you think of california
7:31
you think of a lot of things you think
7:33
of the beaches think of
7:35
griffith observatory chinese theater
7:37
hollywood boulevard
7:39
and you also think well i do
7:43
of in and out it is almost it's a it's
7:45
it is
7:46
it is as california as california
7:52
gets anthony bourdain did a review
7:56
one time it's pretty good you could look
7:57
it up where
7:59
he stated you know he hated a lot of
8:01
places anthony bourdain was a very
8:03
well traveled man and went and ate a lot
8:06
of different
8:07
a lot of different places i ate a lot of
8:08
burgers ate a lot of other types of food
8:11
and he said he would stay at these
8:12
upscale i'm paraphrasing
8:14
anthony bourdain let me go in
8:26
oh yeah i am back
8:30
in california that right there sealed
8:33
the deal
8:41
anthony bourdain one time did a review
8:41
while he was eating the same burger i am
8:42
well it might not have been a double
8:44
double it was a sandwich
8:48
and he stated that he would stay in
8:48
these very upscale
8:50
hotels and he would go out eat these
8:53
restaurants
8:55
people knew him as a kind of upscale
8:57
food reviewer
8:59
trap and world traveler if he would show
9:02
back
9:03
up to these upscale hotels and walk
9:05
through the lobby
9:07
the people that worked in the hotels
9:08
would see him walking in with
9:10
burger king mcdonald's taco bell they
9:13
would kind of give him like a little bit
9:14
of a
9:16
kind of like a snooty look like what are
9:19
you doing
9:19
bringing that in our fine hotel
9:23
but when he would bring in once again on
9:26
paraphrasing
9:27
when he would bring in an in-n-out bag
9:29
no matter how nice the hotel was
9:32
everyone would kind of give him the
9:35
yeah you know what's up
9:38
that says a lot about when you're a fast
9:40
food place and you can get away with
9:41
that
9:43
i always recall that i always think
9:44
about that that little bit that review
9:46
when i bite into these
10:01
had a couple people walk by already over
10:02
in the distance
10:03
and all of them do a double take like
10:04
what are you eating oh you're eating in
10:06
and out
10:08
another fun story years ago
10:11
i was traveling and i had an in and out
10:14
bag
10:15
that was that was using for other stuff
10:18
to store batteries or something and i
10:19
can't remember what i'm keeping in them
10:20
for my camera when i was stopping to
10:22
fuel up i was getting gas
10:37
and i was somewhere close to the east
10:37
coast i can't remember what state it was
10:39
in
10:39
but nowhere near the west coast someone
10:43
came over to my car
10:45
walked out of the gas station i said
10:48
where did you get that in and out
10:50
is there in and out around here they
10:51
were almost in a frantic
10:53
panic i said no it's not in and out of
10:56
here like keeping other things in the
10:58
they said you almost made me lose my
10:59
mind i thought i was back in in and out
11:02
territory
11:02
that is how well known it is now this is
11:05
just my opinion
11:07
i have taken many uh many guests
11:11
here man they didn't like it they
11:13
thought it was it was not all it was
11:15
cracked up the hype was too strong they
11:16
heard too much about it
11:18
they talked about a million other places
11:20
that are better and that might be true
11:23
but it is one of my favorite hamburgers
11:26
i'm gonna go on record saying it there
11:28
there's just something about the sauce
11:31
the bread the lettuce the fresh
11:33
ingredients the onions everything
11:35
combined
11:36
makes up what could be for me adam the
11:39
whoop
11:40
the perfect hamburger now i've had other
11:42
hamburgers that
11:44
dare i say are more meaty more filled
11:46
with ingredients
11:47
but those are good too but when it comes
11:50
to a quick service
11:51
fast food you know my answer
12:13
happy right now
12:16
i have other friends who have moved out
12:17
of california moved off the west coast
12:21
live back in florida on the east coast
12:23
now and
12:24
all of them everyone
12:28
always say that one of the things they
12:29
miss most about the west coast
12:36
is this and honestly a lot of that
12:36
probably also stems on what i was saying
12:38
you know nostalgia they could have grown
12:40
up here this is what they were they were
12:42
used to having it was just a part of
12:44
their lives
12:44
so there is that element whatever it is
12:48
you have to decide you have to make the
12:49
decision is in and out worth waiting
12:52
in a long drive-through line that moves
12:54
rather quickly here's another thing i
12:56
have been to other places
12:58
i don't want to name too many names but
13:00
you know your their your
13:01
your other staff well i've already
13:03
mentioned them so i'll mention we've got
13:04
burger king mcdonald's
13:05
those type of places carl's jr and the
13:07
line gets really long
13:09
sometimes 10 cars long you know you're
13:11
going to be waiting a while
13:13
but at a c at a in and out when it's 30
13:16
cars long
13:17
it moves quicker than a 10 car line at
13:20
another place
13:21
it could just be in my mind but i don't
13:23
feel like i wait that long
13:26
for one of these it's just the bread the
13:28
meat fell off but
13:33
put some sauce on it i still got to go
13:34
on the animal style fries
13:39
this isn't probably the most exciting
13:41
episode
13:43
nor am i really reinventing the wheel
13:46
with this one
13:47
but i felt like doing this today i felt
13:49
like having in and out
13:52
i wonder how many times i can say those
13:53
words
13:55
maybe it's like beetlejuice if i say it
13:57
enough
13:58
another one will appear even though i'm
14:00
getting kind of full
14:33
probably the the words that get tossed
14:33
around most when comparing to this
14:39
there's five guys there might be another
14:39
one too you always hear five guys five
14:41
guys is better
14:42
i love five guys burgers it's not really
14:47
not really comparative i'm gonna say
14:50
like what's better walt disney world or
14:51
disneyland
14:52
they're two different things they're
14:55
both great
14:56
in their own ways
14:59
but i have no i have no attachment to
15:02
five guys other than
15:03
it's a good burger trying to think of
15:06
the other
15:07
other place that a lot of people will
15:08
compare i seem to have lost
15:11
a piece of lettuce
15:20
but that's okay there's also a secret
15:20
menu i have i have done videos
15:22
on this place before it's been a while
15:24
different types
15:26
but nothing really making the statement
15:29
is it worth the height should you go yes
15:34
if you visit california put this on your
15:37
list
15:38
do it try it make your own decision
15:42
i think i'm shattered out here there it
15:44
goes it's a little shattered out there
15:46
with the camera
15:47
corrected itself i could go
15:51
animal style or non-animal style to be
15:53
honest
15:55
i always do it because i really like
15:57
cheese i love the cheese
16:00
the mince crushed onions like this i
16:03
prefer the one on the burger better
16:05
than this but these are good
16:08
now the completely honest first couple
16:12
times i went to
16:14
i went to in-n-out i was on tour with
16:16
the band
16:18
finally came through california got in
16:20
and out for the first time i was in love
16:22
with the hamburger didn't like the fries
16:24
but the fries were a little too
16:26
different for me but now they have grown
16:28
on me
16:32
and i like them fries the fact that they
16:32
are are really
16:34
freshly made has a lot to do with it it
16:36
kind of threw me off
16:38
the first time
16:46
yeah and i always like to polish it off
16:46
with the shake
16:49
not the best shakes on earth i would say
16:51
the shakes are not as
16:53
epic as the food items but they're not
16:56
bad
16:57
it is a nice delicious nice delicious
17:00
treat
17:01
to top it off something for the old
17:04
sweet dude
17:06
i sound really happy and if you're
17:08
wondering why
17:09
it's because i am happy
17:12
who could not be with this i also have
17:14
to wonder if that has something to do
17:16
with the infrequency of how many times
17:18
i'll go here i don't do it often so when
17:21
it happens
17:23
it's kind of a nice moment it's kind of
17:24
a special occasion
17:28
if i ate this every day it would
17:30
probably lose its energy
17:32
and i would lose my excitement my taste
17:35
buds
17:35
would get used to it but because it's
17:37
only every few months
17:40
it's always good fresh tomatoes fresh
17:52
worth it it's like 12 bucks for all this
17:52
12 bucks
17:56
i've beaten the places twice as much
17:58
they weren't half as good
18:01
just topping off the water there got my
18:04
trash
18:04
got ready to go over to the receptacle
18:06
and throw this away
18:08
and then go right into
18:12
the vanilla while i'm sitting here
18:14
someone a couple tables over
18:15
near closer to the road is having an
18:18
intimate moment a couple
18:20
and you have to wonder if it's because
18:22
of the smell the beautiful smell that
18:24
wafted from this
18:25
got them excited now it's nothing to
18:26
nothing too crazy it was just some
18:28
hugging and kissing
18:29
etc but that did not happen
18:32
until they walked by it could have been
18:35
i'm just just saying i don't know
18:41
of course i'm not gonna turn the camera
18:41
around and show what's going on but
18:44
all right heading out that's gonna do it
18:47
for today
18:49
oh this was a this was a good decision
18:56
you got to give it some bumps to get it
18:56
to your straw
19:09
that is good i'm going to say
19:09
in my top 10 shakes not number one but
19:13
definitely up there
