Hard to argue with success
I was trying to put a deal together with McDonalds on an excellent Modesto Corner.
I asked the McD rep what her projected annual gross was for the site
$2.4 million
How about a Burger King, I asked...... smile.....about $1.1 million
Well, and an In N Out ?
Smile is gone,
she grunts "about $4 million"
We ended up doing a deal with Audi, much better for us

If driving thru so cal to baja, you can find better fast food than fries
Lots of good pho spots. A lot of good vietnamese delis for bahn mi and fresh spring roles. And if passing thru LA, a fair number of good places for
arepas. And now many good places for street tacos, many offering much more delicious/creative tacos than you will find in baja...
Dont settle for burgers and fries.
For good eats stick to big cities, especially LA. Food is pretty dismal in backwater burbs like el centro, ramona and barstow.

In & Out, North Coast Hgwy, Oceanside. Double Double, my treat.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Angelo's on the south end of Oside is pretty good for burgers and you get a huge amount of fries with your meal. They have one in Encinitas as well.
They also have a pretty good breakfast.

Angelo's has great onion rings! Or at least they used to... been a while since we ate there.
So, another In and Out in Oceanside?
The one near my old place is on Hwy. 76, about 5-6 miles east of I-5/ the harbor. Then there's one along Hwy. 78, between College and Emerald, near
the DMV.
I am now near the famous Nessy Burger off I-15 & 76: http://www.nessyburgers.com/Food.html and they have the best fries and great 1/2 pound burgers!

Personally I like the hamburgers at places like the Boll Weevil where you basically build your own. I like the whopper with out the mayo, mustard is
better.

I went there when it was just off the 15 at the gas station, but they moved (??) since then and have not gotten back yet. I recall they served
excellent burgers and fries too! Right on, DK!

No Cheese
Jeez.
Stopping at an oft-frequented local diner earlier for a Burger and Fries, I recited to the waitress my usual plea honed over 60 years ........... "
Double Hamburger-NO CHEESE-ONLY Mayonnaise........" At which point, she says "No Cheese ?"
"No Cheese", I say. Having mellowed in my old age, I avoided the temptation to point out that had I wanted Cheese, I would have ordered the
Cheeseburger on the menu.
So, the order arrives and instantly noticeable is the melting yellow stuff oozing out.
The waitress protests "I put it on the order". I say, "I know, I know. It's usually the cook's fault". She thinks I'm being sarcastically
insulting. I apologize with "I mean it. It really usually is the cook" omitting any reference to the cook's ethnicity.
They do have really good burgers at a decent price. Double with a lot of fries (which they've just started seasoning) and drink for $7.00. I don't
know where they source their [likely frozen] patties, but it's a good one. Excellent Sesame seed buns, too.
It's just a struggle getting that "No Queso" business across, but that's been true virtually everywhere.
Including Burger King.
