Why, exactly, doesn't In-N-Out have a burger with "everything" on it? And what
will you get if you do order one that way? Keep watching so you know what not to do.
You're probably drooling over the thought of a perfect In-N-Out cheeseburger with fries
right now. It's understandable; In-N-Out is a classic burger place that serves up
all kinds of hamburgers, fries, and shakes. It's a staple on the West Coast,
and it's the perfect meal for those of us lucky enough to already be near one.
In-N-Out's website states that it's been producing mouth-watering burgers since the 1940s. Its first
burger was served in California by husband and wife duo, Harry and Esther Snyder. And ever since,
In-N-Out has been satisfying all our cravings when it comes to a good old fashioned juicy burger.
Although In-N-Out started out with a simple menu, things have changed since the 40's.
The restaurant has expanded from its short menu with just plain cheeseburgers to also include
a not so secret menu with countless options for what goes on your perfect burger and fries.
"What keeps most people coming back is a simple
menu that basically hasn't changed since Harry Truman was president."
Because they've expanded their menu, it can be a bit confusing when it comes to ordering
that perfect burger. And according to an In-N-Out employee on Reddit,
ordering a burger with everything on it can also be a little confusing for
the people taking the orders. The employee said that it …
"Might confuse your order taker since we can't know for sure if you are including
onions, pickles, chiles, etc, or not."
The burgers are shown with different toppings in their menu photos,
but according to In-N-Out's website, the standard toppings for an In-N-Out burger are spread,
tomatoes, and lettuce. Employees always ask if you want onions on your burger,
since it's a standard topping at the chain.
"You order it with an onion, right?"
"Comes with onions, spread like thousand island dressing, lettuce and tomatoes."
In-N-Out's menu is so expansive that they could include
countless toppings when it comes to a burger with everything.
So your idea of everything on a burger may be very different from In-N-Out's idea of everything.
The California burger chain's menu is simultaneously complex
and simple. Newcomers to the In-N-Out scene may be a bit overwhelmed by the options
despite the menu not actually having that much on it.
For example, ordering everything on a burger at In-N-Out may be interpreted as ordering a
burger with literally every topping on it. And you may make the mistake of ordering
peppers on your burger without understanding what sort of peppers they are. You may think
you're getting a few slices of jalapeno or banana pepper on your Double-Double,
but according to Texas Tito's, you're going to be taking a bite of cascabella peppers.
Cascabella peppers are hotter than your average banana pepper, so as long as you're comfortable
with a bit more heat than you were expecting, feel free to order as many peppers as you like.
You should also keep in mind that In-N-Out has a somewhat more complex labeling system for its
cheeseburgers than most places. According to an In-N-Out employee on Reddit, a Double-Double
is a burger with two beef patties and two slices of cheese. So, if you ask for a Double-Double with
cheese, you'll be getting a burger with far more cheese than you were expecting.
If you've ever found that you've made a mistake at In-N-Out, you shouldn't be too embarrassed. Orders
that can lead to embarrassing or even frustrating moments are a dime a dozen in fast food chains,
so it's nothing that fry cooks and cashiers haven't heard before.
While embarrassing and frustrating fast food orders are common everywhere
from In-N-Out to McDonald's, as long as you treat the employees right and with respect,
you'll have nothing to feel ashamed about.
So when it comes to getting your ideal In-N-Out burger,
read the menu and have an idea of what toppings would make the best burger for you. Then when it
comes to ordering, be ready to be specific about what you do and don't want on your burger. And
don't forget to try their animal-style fries and a chocolate milkshake while you're there!
