This week, a California native moved into Texas. In-N-Out Burger from California opened two new restaurants in North Texas. One's in my hometown of Allen, the other is in Frisco. I heard from everyone about the lines. It was all over the news for several days. People camped out at the restaurants to be there on opening day. People sat in line for hours (HOURS!!) to get into the drive through. Seriously??!!
How people can sit in line for hours is beyond me. My daughter and some friends from school went there on Thursday. My daughter told me the fries were "heavenly". Our text 'conversation' was this:
A=J*sus.
M=Language.
A=Sorry! These fries are godly!
M=I hate you. ((note to readers--I just got braces on Monday, so am not eating "real" food, hence the mean words to my daughter.))
A=Don't worry. I saved you some. XD
Until I-N-O showed up, the 'big' burger chain in town was Whataburger. That's a Texas burger joint that I've come to enjoy. I prefer it over McD's. As far as I'm concerned, NOBODY does a burger like Whataburger. Well, wait. Mooyah's (another local burger joint) is pretty good AND they support the Band! I'm all for places that support the Band. Yes, shameless plug there.
I lived in California for several years and never once made it to In-N-Out. I never paid attention to it. It was just another restaurant, like Carl's Jr. Well now it's in my face because it's in my city. Eventually I *might* try it, but for now, I'll stay with Whataburger.
I wonder how long it'll take for the burger hype to die down? I won't be going to I-N-O because if I'm hungry, I want to EAT! I don't want to wait 2-3 hours to get up to a drive through and I certainly don't want to wait in line for a 'fast food' fix. I'd go to a major restaurant. Before I did that, I'd make reservations!!
