Get a small soft sided cooler/ice chest that you can carry on the airplane.
Stop at an In-N-Out and get the burgers with the lettuce and tomato on the side, place the burgers and lettuce/tomatoes in the ice chest.
They keep really well..........
The only problem is trying NOT to eat the burgers on the plane!!!!! |
Where there is a will, there is a way !!! pretty good there Bajaguy

"The chain also has fans in a number of renowned chefs including Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Keller, Julia Child, Anthony Bourdain, and Mario Batali.[38]
Famous London chef/restaurateur Gordon Ramsay ate In-N-Out for the first time when taping Hell's Kitchen in Los Angeles, and it soon became one of his
favorite spots for take-out.[39] Ramsay was quoted, saying about the experience: "In-N-Out burgers were extraordinary. I was so bad, I sat in the
restaurant, had my double cheeseburger then minutes later I drove back round and got the same thing again to take away." [39] Thomas Keller, a fan of
In-N-out, celebrated with In-N-Out burgers at the anniversary party of his restaurant, The French Laundry.[40] Keller also plans on opening his own
burger restaurant inspired by his Los Angeles experience of In-N-Out.[41] Julia Child, one of the first celebrity champions on the chain, admitted to
knowing every location of the restaurant between Santa Barbara and San Francisco.[42] Child also had the burgers delivered to her during a hospital
stay.[40] Anthony Bourdain reportedly said that In-N-Out was his favorite fast food meal."

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.

If you're going to emulate a burger why not copy the best - Tommy Burger (Beverly and Rampart).
I wonder if Bourdain ever visited the place.

A Craving is a Craving
And you all shouldn't be telling Jesse not to want what he wants.
Hope you get your In-n-Out burger just like you want it.
By the way, the burgers transport well and reheat well. I have frequently brought home to Baja extras and I think that they taste better the next
day. Just have them pack the veggies and dressing separately so that the bun doesn't get soggy.
Can't say the same for the fries and the milkshake is another issue entirely

Hey Jesse, I've never been to your place, but if you do figure out how to make a scrumptious hamburger - I'll be there!! I hear people complain all
the time about not being able to find a decent hamburger on the Baja. Sounds simple, but it isn't. I think you're on a mission.... Good for you. Keep
us posted and i may just show up with a truck load of people! LOL

No wonder they were atypical.

Hey Skipjack...
You're right...Tommy's burgers are very good!! Though they're sure different than In N Out's.
I was at Tommy's once about 1:00 am and there was still about 50 people in line!!!!

I was a cook for the Jolly Roger chain in California for four years. Had my choice of fresh crab meat, jumbo shrimp, New York steak, top steak, rib
eye, prime rib, halibut, and fileted chicken breast, etc., etc. After getting my fill of as much as I wanted of all that, my favorite meal evolved to
a perfectly prepared 1/3 lb medium rare Swiss cheese burger.
When on frequent trips to La Paz, I always make cheese burgers one of the scheduled dinners: I bring my own quality hamburger buns, Heinz pickle
chips, and Swiss cheese from the USA. Can't do anything about the ground beef in La Paz, but I think I am going to try to have WalMart grind up some
top steak for me for the hamburger meat next time.
Toast the bun just right, cut two slices of fresh and firm refrigerated tomato, crispy lettuce trimmed to fit the bun perfectly, four pickle chips,
good slice of onion, medium rare fried burger patty (seasoned), topped with melted Swiss (not too melty), spread yellow mustard and ketchup on the
both bun halves, and eat rigtht away with squirt of A-1 sauce on every bite. Don't bother me, I'm eating!
The trick and the most important part of the burger is toasting the bun just right and the A-1 sauce on every bite. Everything else you can miss on.

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?
