I am dying here, need In n Out Burger, ASAP!!

Jesse, how fresh does that In-n-Out Burger have to be? Wife is flying in from LA in a couple of days.

6pm Friday night okay?

This is what saved me in China last year.

A Jack-IN-the-BOX "Jumbo Jack, with no cheeze" is better, and is only $1.69.

I don't understand all the excitement about IN AND OUT?????

Barry

wtf could be so difficult about throwing a decent burger together?
Can only assume you can't source decent buns!? (this'll bring out the sickos! watch

In-N-Out

Info

Jesse,

Here is a knock-off of In and Out who is BETTER than In and Out

Five Guys




Ate at one in Montana----more meat, the best fries ever and one order is HUGE, real fresh veggies with lettuce crisp and not cooked and made to order with the toppings of your choice.

Don't think they are anywhere in California yet, but they are growing fast----maybe someone should buy a franchise for La Paz. Need lots of money, however.

From Wikipedia:

History

Smashburger was founded in 2007 by Tom Ryan, a restaurant industry veteran with more than two decades of experience at companies such as Quizno’s, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Long John Silver’s.[2]

In 2009, Smashburger received a $15 million investment from Consumer Capital Partners to enable a major national expansion. The private equity firm’s chief investment officer, David Prokupek, today serves as Smashburger’s chairman and chief executive officer.[3] As of early 2011, it has 100 locations nationwide, with plans to double its store count by 2012.[4]

The original Smashburger was actually called IconBurger and was located in Lafayette, CO. It was founded by a local Lafayette businessman named Lance Perryman who had also started a popular coffee shop (originally called Bishop's and later renamed to Cino's) in the same shopping area. The location and concept was sold to Ryan in 2007 who renamed the restaurant to SmashBurger, opened a few more nearby locations, introduced the concept of "smashing" the burgers, and made some other design and menu modifications. The original IconBurger logo (with the name inside changed to Smashburger) was retained.[5][6][7]

[edit] AccoladesSmashburger has received a number of best-burger accolades and continues to rank highly for their burger offerings. In Denver, the alternative-weekly Westword named it the best locally owned chain for 2008.[8] Later that year, Denver Magazine named it “Most Likely to Succeed” and local ABC affiliate KMGH/Channel 7 touted it as the “best burger” on its “A List.”[9]

In Minnesota, MPLS St. Paul magazine rated Smashburger the best “Thin Burger” (defined as “drive-in or better fast food”), with a score of 96/100.[10]

In 2009, Nation’s Restaurant News, a leading restaurant-industry trade magazine, named Smashburger to its prestigious “Hot Concepts” list.[11] In 2010, the Sin City smashburger was named one of the top burgers of the year by Las Vegas Weekly.[12]

[edit] MenuSmashburger’s menu focuses primarily on burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and salads, with a wide variety of toppings and customization options. The restaurant serves localized burgers in each market based on regional flavors. Smashburger also offers a broad variety of sides, which go well beyond French fries to include sweet potato fries, fried onions, fried mild green chilies, fried pickles and chili. Desserts include shakes, malts and floats made with Haagen-Dazs ice cream.[13]

The chain also serves alcohol, offering beer, wine and Mike’s Hard Lemonade, in addition to assorted malt-beverage floats and liqueur-blended shakes.

Don't you hijack my thread David!!! In n out or nothing ok???

Rob

A Craving is a Craving

Mark and Olivia made some very good beef burgers at their Bahia Concepcion restaurant at Playa Buenaventura. Location is awesome beer was cold and the burgers were a great change from the typical food we have in Baja!:

Are you sure those were beef burgers?

Think amphibian.

No wonder they were atypical.

edit - correction, they're reptiles.

Amo, they are very special burgers... and two sizes offered (note 2 prices each). The telling is in the success the place is having. Oceanside (at 78 and College) and Vista (at 78 and Sycamore) are coming soon! Their Peñasquitos store 'smashed' the national monthly sales record, last month... and it is new! It isn't just a good burger with the fixen's (like Tommy's or In and Out)... it is a Smash burger with extra flavor literally 'smashed' into the meat. Chris was part of the Market Street store's grand opening 4 months ago and now he works Hazard Center and the Market St. He is doing great... trained for the front and the back, but he prefers to be the cook.

You haven't seen Chris since he was 12 or 13, right?

The white onion...

In-N-Out Baja Tour

I feel your pain----I was in TX for almost five years without them....now that we're moving back to CA they're putting a new In n Out just a few blocks from where we lived in Fort Worth....

Double Double, well done, grilled onions, no spread, ketchup and mustard instead! I can almost taste it now
Jesse, have you tried Kiki's Burgers on Abasolo? between the used car lot and motorcycle shop, just down from Chedraui. so far, the best burger I've found in La Paz. They open about 5, and the fries are pretty good also.

Jesse, Ever try the dill relish? I switched from sweet to dill. Just a matter of taste, but it tastes "mo betta" to me.

Hi Jesse,

Been following your Burger post with GREAT interst and I like your plan to satisfy your craving!!

I really LIKE the fact that you added some fat to the meat. So many people now days go for the LEAN or EXTRA LEAN burger meat and IMHO it tastes like junk. Many of the best rated burgers you read about in magazines or see on TV have 15-20% Fat in them.


My favorite burger meat is Ground Chuck in an 80/20 blend which I get at a local market that has a small Butcher counter. It's ground fresh daily and is SO good in lots of recipes. Most of the fat renders out but leaves the great taste!

I really like that American Cheese is your choice too. That's the classic way to do it! Though...like Mitch, Swiss Cheese is another of my favorites.

BUT...again like Mitch, I also enjoy a good Blue Cheese Burger. My BC burger is different than most though. I make a homemade batch of BC Dressing and slather it on top of the meat like a thick Mayo...Yummy!!!

My BLUE CHEESE recipe is very simple...
6 oz. Crumbled Gorgonzola or Blue Cheese
8 oz. Sour Cream - Not LITE!
8 oz. Best Foods Mayo.
Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder to taste

Mix well and let it set for at least 1/2 hour to meld flavors.

GREAT on salad too! If you want it a bit thinner, thin it out with a little
Whole Milk. You can also add more Sour Cream and Mayo if you want a liitle less strong BC flavor.


BTW...I fully understand the IN n OUT urge. I have relatives in Washington
and Kentucky that are from CA. When they come home, their FIRST stop after leaving the airport is ALWAYS 'IN n OUT' !!!


Take Care, Miguelamo/Mike

HI DAVID....

I'll have to give SMASH a try when they open up in Oceanside.

VERY GLAD to hear that Chris is doing well and likes his job there!!!

Maybe he can work his way up to Manager (if that's something he wants). My younger brother started out at McDonald's working at the counter and ended up being with them for 22 years...still working at the counter!

JUST KIDDING!! He became a Store Manager for the franchise owner after 3-4 years and when he moved to the Seattle area he went to work for McD Corporate and rose to a great Regional Management position with them, working out of the NW regional office. TODAY...he owns a very successful Italian restaurant and he gives a lot of credit to his early fast food training.


Take Care, Michael

Sorry about the pics. Twice i made the burgers, and everytime i remember to takes pics, they are gone

Today i baked fresh buns for the burger, oh lord!!!!

AmoPescar ....
I'm a blue cheese junkie! If I may suggest to you:

Add
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce
4 tablespoon of White Vinegar

Every little crumb of that blue cheese flavor is brought out!

Here You Go, castaway$

Hey Mitch...

WELL...when I do get around to making one of those BC burgers, I want the real Mayo and Sour Cream in it. Much as I love em..I don't make em very often, because I know they're very high in fat and calories!

BUT...I'll give the Greek a try!

If you want a VERY Tasty appetizer, try the Cambazola with some Fig Preserves poured over the top of it. I get the fig Jam at Whole Food Market.
Really amazing on crackers or Crostini.



Take care, Michael

B

Mix a small amount of sausage seasoning with the ground meat. Makes a great burger with a very different taste.

Burgers in Ensenada

Cypress,
That is interesting, I have mixed Jimmy Dean sausage with my burger for years when having a burger BBQ and everyone loves them. They know something is different but just can't pin point it. I'll have to try just the seasoning, sounds good!
