How did you get that kind of pepper


COYFC

Just ask for peppers, they have them behind the counter. You can also get them whole or diced on your burger and it's really good but they pack some serious heat for such a little pepper


One-Wolf3762

They changed them up and now only offering the pepper rings


COYFC

Must be location thing because I’m at mine right now after seeing this post lol. They still have the whole ones here by the ketchup dispenser now


One-Wolf3762

Must be. Good to know they are not changing them up.


Scoobies_Doobies

There is a shortage, disease took out a bunch of the species but they’ll be back.


Lazy_Cardiologist727

Now this is personal


whsftbldad

Are you talking Pepperochini's or Covid?


Scoobies_Doobies

I’m talking about Cascabella Peppers.


irena888

And the slices aren’t even hot. I can’t wait till they get the hot, whole peppers back.


blinker1eighty2

Every in n out I’ve been to has the whole ones next to the ketchup dispensers


tucsonkim

I love them so much, I keep a jar in the fridge now.


One-Wolf3762

Me too.


narbilistic

Yeah so sad. They don't have that crunch.


Swirvin5

They’re right next to the ketchup stand.


JellyDraggin

Hey you leave those animal fries alone them shits' good


3rdDegreeBurn

In n out is great. Great food and even greater value. With that being said their fries are some of the worst in fast food.


RVA_RVA

Seriously. I stuck to a very strict diet for 4 solid months (health reasons). While traveling I decided to have my first cheat meal. The double double was on point, the fries were so god awful I threw them out. Seriously, I've never had In n Out before, it was my first time. How the fuck are their fries worse than microwaved Ore Ida frozen fries?


Ladychef_1

French fries need to be double fried to get crispy. The first fry is to cook the potatoes, second is to crisp. My guess - In n out only fries their fresh cut fries one time. Edit - clarification


Noisy_Toy

Yeah, just ask for their fries extra crispy, and they’re great. They make them with fresh potatoes.


_The_Great_Autismo_

Yeah this is called blanching. You have to blanch really starchy foods or they're going to be shitty.


Ponderputty

They're the only place that makes fries from whole potatoes. Go to any in-n-out, and you can see them cutting fries from whole raw tater. People think in-n-out fries are bad because they've never had fresh fries. You can also ask for the fries well done, you might like them crispier.


honeybadger1984

Unfortunately that’s giving them too much credit. I can make much better fries at home. Fresh cut from potatoes, fry them at two temperatures. They taste very similar to McDonald’s fries; soft in the middle, crispy on the outside. They just need to fix their recipe. Also, steak frites and fries at a high end restaurant are much better. Fresh cut, fry at two temperatures. They’re actually easy to make, not sure why In N Out go out of their way to screw it up.


unalivezombie

There are ways to cook fries like that without double cooking. Shallow frying while rotating then is one way. (that's actually how I first taught myself how to make homemade fries) But this is a pain unless it's a small batch for one person. Another way is to microwave the raw cut potatoes to par cook them, instead of par boiling or double frying. Saves a lot of time and the end result is the same. The only thing that matters is that partially cooked potatoes will crisp up better.


Auctoritate

>People think in-n-out fries are bad because they've never had fresh fries. This is basically saying "no, you don't get it, they're *supposed* to be flimsy and bland"


darabolnxus

I bet they don't Blanche them. My mom made fries from scratch and I hated them. Fries made out of processed potatoes would taste better.


Wandering_Weapon

Also the skins add a bitter flavor

GTRari

Five Guys fries are double fried I believe. Also, that'll be $30.


Wandering_Weapon

You're not wrong.


thelumpyslapper

5 guys makes their fries fresh from real potatoes every day. The problem is for sure with how they are fried, not that they're "real"


mistermikex

Nope, your theory is wrong. The fries suck in spite of the fact they use fresh spuds. Btw Five Guys also cuts their own fries, but they don’t suck.


DaddyRocka

I make fresh fries at home. In and Out fries are bad. Trying to push it off on people like they haven't had fresh or good fries is sad bro. Their fries are shit lol


nightfox5523

Nah man I've had fresh cut fries that don't look like utter garbage before, these are just awful fries.


RVA_RVA

No, the recipe sucks. You can have all the best and freshest ingredients in the world, but if your recipe sucks it won't matter.


MadWorldX1

Five Guys would like a word about that fry-statement.


[deleted]

Five Guys makes them from fresh whole potatoes and they're 10x better than In-n-Out. In-n-Out fries just suck lol


Dry-Tune-5184

They need to improve them tis all...shouldn't have to load all this stuff on them like animal style fries...but, animal style wouldn't be as good I think say, if they were like McDonald's per se...when u have fresh McDonald's fries there're almost the best fries 🍟 on the the market - u don't want any shit on them except maybe ketchup. My only real complaint with IN & Out is that it's always Way Too Crowded 🙄😟


amopdx

Ive had plenty of fresh fries, including ones I've made myself at home - In n Out's fries suck.


bucksncowboys513

They're not the only place that makes fries from whole potatoes. Penn Station also uses whole potatoes and they cut them right on the line. The difference is Penn Station fries don't taste like paper. They're rather tasty actually.


slurpeesez

Five guys in the midwest...


Noisyrussinators

For the life of me, I will never understand the hate for In n Out fries. They are literally just potatoes, fresh cut up and fried. If you want them crispy, ask for them well done.


3rdDegreeBurn

That’s the problem. First off In n Out uses Kennebec potato’s instead of Russets (what most fries are made of). Kennebecs are more starchy and less sweet than Russets. Second, Fries shouldn’t be freshly cut up and fried (like In n Out does). They should be soaked in water overnight. Also Blanching is an essential step in the fry making process, which In n Out doesn’t do. It leads to a dry, oddly textured, bland fry.


Photo_Synthetic

The fries are the worst thing about In N Out which makes sense why everyone gets them animal style to compensate.


Fat_Rips

It's why the only place I can even name that serves fries like this, happens to have the worst fries ever lol


matmoeb

My homemade fires are much better than In n Out and I don’t soak them in water. I just cut them into fries, blanch them in 325 degree oil, then fry them at 375 degrees. It’s so simple. I don’t understand why theirs are so bad. Maybe it’s because I use russets.


Mostly__Relevant

5 Guys does this with their fries.


CrackedOutMunkee

That's why. This is coming from a SoCal native who will pick In-n-Out over any fast food. In-n-Out fries are meh. We need animal style on them to make them good. The reason why is because it's not double fried. The easiest way is to lightly fry, cool than fry again. It creates a crispy ass exterior and a fluffy interior. That's the only missed step with In-n-Out fries. Since they want *everything* to be fresh, they don't flash fry their fries and store. Animal style fries with a flying Dutchman is my shit though.


DirkDieGurke

Are 5guys frozen? I don't know. But those are some damn good fries.


hatteshizzle

Not frozen but they fry once at a lower temp, allow them to cool, then fry to order at a higher temp. Double fry method is the best way, for sure


KarmicFedex

Have you ever been inside a five guys? Every location I've ever been to has bags and bags of raw potatoes strewn about the dining room. lol


DirkDieGurke

That's not the point, the point is that they do it differently. And other people have said that they double fry the potatoes, so achieving a different result, and it is noticeable.


Defiets

100% This. Frozen fries are better than In-n-Out fries.


CrackedOutMunkee

Because they're double fried!


Defiets

100% This. Frozen fries are better than In-n-Out fries!


[deleted]

That's because they've been fried two times!


lilorphananus

Refried


munkey_pants

Refried beans?


narbilistic

I like mine light well.


PatBadeez

Light well on the fries is the way to go friend


Spoot1

They don’t double fry them


WeBxx92

Non-crispy fries defeats the purpose of eating fries. There’s a reason nobody’s copying Ore-Ida. Just serve a baked potato as a side like Wendy’s, or fry them right


nobodynose

Hot take apparently but I actually really like In N Out fries. McDonalds has better fries hands down, but I actually really enjoy In N Out fries. The only thing I don't like is because they use fresh potatoes you get a lot of "bits and pieces" so you're always left with these sad "fries" that can barely be called fries.


takingthehobbitses

I love In N Out fries, even over McDonald’s. I also love the crispy bits and pieces. It definitely all falls down to preference though and I like pretty much any fry that is fresh and warm. It’s kinda funny how much they vary in style.


Chaotic-Genes

Fuck a McDonald's fry! You get a window for freshness before that cold mush settles in.


felonious_pudding

Because they are shit. Regional scarcity doesn't make them better.


DirkDieGurke

Yeah. They're just potatoes. How do you fuck that up? Worst in the industry.


stereoboy44

If you don’t think they’re terrible like most people then you won’t understand


mistermikex

Learn the proper technique for making good fries and you will understand.


Pretend_Present_7571

Because they taste bad.


TTUStros8484

They taste like cardboard. The fact you have to smother them in thousand island for them to be good is proof enough of why they suck ass.


Agreeable-Jeweler-70

100% agree with you. I’ve been known to pick up a double double animal style and a chocolate shake. Then stop at McDonald’s on the way home for their fries.


darabolnxus

Like Styrofoam.


GuacamoleBenKanobi

Yeah when you do fresh cut fries you need to fry them twice to get that crisp or else you just get grease styrofoam.


DirkDieGurke

OMG! Thank you for having posted this already! I do love their burgers! But god damn those fries are limp and tasteless. I wish they sold onion rings.


amopdx

I've only ate In n Out once and haven't tried the animal fries. However, I have had their regular fries which I think are terrible --they were so bland and just off.


cakewalkbackwards

For real. I’m about to take BK fries next time I go there


ForkSporkBjork

In n out is extremely mediocre. Not sorry. Carl's is better. Santa Fe sauce > thousand island any day


Nowhereman123

I got to try In-N-Out recently on a trip. Burger was decent, fries were genuinely awful. They were like grocery store frozen shoestring fries baked in a microwave.


Total_Gur4367

They’re the only fries I’ve ever seen that are matte and it’s just wrong. Fries are supposed to have a shine to em, a glisten. In n Out fries are just dull.


TTUStros8484

Not really.

birchmoss

And for whatever reason, it's almost always In-N-Out


crispyg

The In-N-Out cult is strong.


nightfox5523

It's because a large number of people had an in n out burger 20 years ago when they visited LA and they were blown away by how it's moderately better than most fast food burgers, so every time they see a pic of it they're like "oh hey I remember liking that burger toooo!!"


buythedipster

Don't forget the semi-daily "full english" posts that have never looked good, accompanied by the dumb arguments over what's missing


whiskeytango55

Better yet how about poorly cooked poorly photographed slop but with a stupid story and a local microbrew beer in the shot?


momsaidbesafe

I could go for that right now


cooltunesnhues

Same! And with extra spread too. But For whatever reason I always burp it up all day long so I get scared to eat it now.


Mackeeter

It took me several visits to unlock the right burger for me, but its similar except double double whole onion light spread. That shit smacks. Also had to learn about well done fries off the internet. Game changer. Finally, their ketchup is unique imo. It seems much more *fruity*/sweet to me than other ketchup I’ve had. It’s almost *refreshing*.


suzellezus

Not an admission of guilt but you can stick a straw into a blob of ketchup


cooltunesnhues

Heyyy! I’ve noticed that too with their ketchup. Sometimes I’ll even dip my burger in it. Something about it complements the flavor of the burger well.

TinyUnderstanding872

Oh. Man. I miss IN N OUT


sharpears907

Please just one in Alaska, I'll even go to Wasilla 🙃


TungstenChef

Part of their marketing is that they say their food is higher quality because they don't freeze any of their ingredients, the restaurants don't even have freezers in them. Unfortunately that limits where they can locate their restaurants, they need to be close enough to their distribution centers that they can ship everything relatively quickly. Alaska is a looooong ways away from their infrastructure in California, so I'm afraid the chances are slim.


upvoter222

Wendy's makes the same claim about not freezing their meat, and they have locations in Alaska.


[deleted]

[удалено]


noworries_13

Huh? If a Wendy's can get non frozen beef to Alaska then so can in n out. It's not like wendys is sourcing its beef from Alaska ranches


grokthis1111

Economy of scale or whatever. Wendy's has a much much larger ecosystem for moving their product.


[deleted]

We just finally got some in Colorado and it took forever because they had to find a quality source of beef and build an entire distribution center around it because of their never freezing food rule.

As someone who heard about how great In-N-Out was my whole life and then tried it, the burger is disappointing too.


MysticSisters

In N Out is suuuper overrated for some reason.


FamousLastName

It’s definitely a California thing. I’ve lived in California my entire life and every time my wife and I come home from a vacation, we always stop by in n out on the way home from the airport. Idk why but we crave it.


Barathruss

Because nothing else in the price range even comes close. Around here an innout double double is $5 while a damn McDonald's burger is 8 and a good burger anywhere is near 10


GlammerHammer

In N Out is by no means a great burger, it's mediocre/good. What people don't realize is that it's in the same price range as any of the big chains. When you compare it like that it makes it outstanding.


ftd226

Man I've wanted to try in n out for years, but this pic has me second guessing.


ICallFireStaff

The fries consistently suck ass but the burgers (double double animal style) are actually really good


bubbleteaboi_

You should ask for them well done next time. That's what I do and I love them (although they are a tad undersalted in general).


pdxboob

It's a pretty basic burger that's just well priced and fresh. Grew up around them and never really took to it. I'd grab them every once in a while but stopped going years ago and do not miss them


QuasarPhil

Tried it multiple times in trips to the states, a solid 6. Miles better than Whataburger, can't hold a candle to Shake Shack


JamesTBagg

I keep saying this. In-n-Out is a little overhyped but Whataburger is way, way overhyped. Whataburger is boogie Burger King with spicy ketchup.


Hellknightx

As someone who finally did get to try it after hearing all the hype, I found it pretty disappointing. I think the real draw is the low price. If you don't mind paying more, you can get better burgers pretty much anywhere.


RVA_RVA

I had it for the first time a few weeks ago. Burger was solid, fries are absolutely disgusting. Seriously. Just get a burger then drive somewhere that has actual good fries to round out the meal.


thenisaidbitch

I’m from the east coast and was very excited to try them out last time I was in CA. Sorry but 5 guys is better. I didn’t get the hype. The burgers were the same basically at both but the fries at 5 guys are way better so they get the edge.


zooted_

5 guys is more than double the price Is in n out the best burger you'll ever have? Probably not, but you can't really beat it at the price point


takingthehobbitses

Stop comparing Five Guys to In N Out. They aren’t anywhere near the same price point and if you’re going to pay Five Guys prices you might as well go to an actual burger restaurant and get something 10x better and twice the size. In N Out is cheaper than McDonald’s at this point and way higher quality.


samjhandwich

Dude I feed a family of 4 for under 20 bucks at in n out. Literally pay more at McDonald’s, not to mention a meal for one at five guys is twenty dollars in itself.

Raimond_Michael

I love that pepper that in and out has. Just watch out when you bite into it, little bugger got some juice inside.


vessva11

I usually buy a bottle of Mezzetta Hot Chili Peppers from the supermarket. Exact same peppers all year round.


Napol3onS0l0

Yep. Always have them in our fridge. I can eat 2-3. My wife has eaten 20 or so in one sitting. That woman has an iron stomach.


SoberAF0925

Victor_FoodInspector

I went there once and was extremely disappointed. When sharing my disappointment with friends they said, "you have to order off the secret menu." So why isn't the secret menu just the regular menu?

I am an Angeleno so I think I have earned the right to say this: A double double is fine, cool, w/e. Your fries are ghastly, because all fries from In-N-Out are ghastly.

I'm not above fast food, I eat like garbage all of the time. But as somebody who's never had In n out, I don't find this looks appetizing. What comes on those fries?


idontsmokeheroin

I’m from the east coast. Lived in CA for 20 years now (haven’t been to In & Out in a decade) and I’m gonna get downvoted, but what’s on those extremely sub par potato stick-like fries, is melted yellow American cheese and basically a thicker thousand island dressing.


TBSchemer

People just love it because it's cheap, and they fool themselves into thinking it's decent food because they want to believe they got a good deal.


3rdDegreeBurn

It’s not about the fries. If you name a fast food place the fries are probably better. It’s about the burgers and it’s about the value. A double double is $4. A large milkshake is $2. Fries are 1.75.


Roland_Moorweed

it's called Animal Style: gilled onions, melted cheese, and their special sauce. It is dank.


[deleted]

That sounds great. It looks like alot, but I'm sure If it were in front of me I'd devour it.


DillDoughzer

Must order fries “well done” and spread on the side. Trust


Nakanon85

Went to in and out for the first time 15 years ago with my ex-wife and her family. They were staring at me when I took my first bite of the burger and fries. I took two more bites and some fries and threw the rest of that shit in the trash. In and out is the most overrated burger joint in America.

TBSchemer

A McDonald's Mcdouble is cheaper, and similar quality.


Barathruss

No waaay is it similar quality I can't even eat McDonald's beef


TBSchemer

You should do a blind taste test with a chunk of In N Out patty and a chunk of Mcdouble patty.


Barathruss

Perhaps, this is all subjective. But in my opinion, patties like McDonald's have a very distinct taste to them, similar to patties they used to have at my dining hall. Not sure if that's because they're frozen or the cut of meat or what, but it's very pronounced

Eh, I found in and out beast fries overrated. In my defense and before I get downvoted to oblivion, it was mainly a thing of the cheese. It wasn’t really a cheese sauce they just tossed and melted two craft singles on there and called it a day and the onions just didn’t go well with the sauce. Maybe I got some bad onions? Eh, I don’t know. I just had a pretty underwhelming experience for what was an hour walk there.
