Lmao!! Yeah
I don't remember much about the place . Think they were out of biz by the time I was 10. Fish fillet platter and a salad bar.And what was his helpers name??
Spose that means the "Animal Style Fries" are not on your menu. Or the "Roadkill Fries"I'm not sure I'd want to eat a burger called "In and Out"... 'Scuze me, gotta go!
My first real job was at Burger Chef, at age 14, had to have a work permit, since I was so young. Ended up being a night manager by 16. But then they FIRED me...for firing the GM'S wife, on my shift, for not doing her job... You know.. layin around cause she knows sumbody... LOL....They had an extensive cardboard fold-out city on their burger boxes complete with cars.
I had about 60 of them and there were a LOT I didn't have.
1/64 scale.
Interestingly, I rated Denny's as second.
I never see them involved in any of these surveys, though.
There was a dragstrip in Irwindale. A real dragstrip, 1320 feet long and everything. The concession stand burgers were so bad we called them "Blacktop Burgers". We would leave there, go to Azusa Ave to this funky little place called In N Out. It barely had a parking lot, it had a drive thru and walk up window, 2 picnic tables outside. Eat our fill and head back to the desert. They built a Miller brewery on top of that dragstrip. Many of the privateers were brightly adorned with "Miller Beer Sucks" on their hot rods at the Last Blast. I didn't touch a Miller for years after that. Ahhh, the teenage memories
Not if they go "In and Out"!Spose that means the "Animal Style Fries" are not on your menu. Or the "Roadkill Fries"
In'n'Out actually provided food at Irwindale Raceway at some point until the track closed.
From a past article in the Orange County Register newspaper:
"In 1965, Harry Snyder [founder of In'n'Out with his wife Esther] invested in the newly built Irwindale Raceway and remained half-owner until it was demolished in the mid-1970s. The track developed a reputation among racers for having top-notch food, supplied by Snyder."

Gag me with a sharp tined fork. Probably the only place I ever ate that was worse than White Castle. There was one in Topeka, and I could never understand why people went there.Burger Chef !!!! Any of you Crusty Old Guys remember them ????
I have been on a lifelong quest to try the best burger in every town I go to. I'm sure @krazykuda can attest to Millers, the Redcoat, the Sidetrack and other Detroit favorites. The Hunka Hunka Burning Burger at Marlowes in Memphis was a great burger too. Funny that Nella has never had a hamburger in her life, and wants nothing to do with trying one, or any kind of sandwich for that matter!!
Saw an In-and-Out outside of Dallas whild roadtripping.. Had to stop and try it out. Really good burger. I stop there everytime I pass through..
