The In-N-Out Experience
Now, I know that we’re only suppose to talk about “healthy” food choices on this blog. But “healthy” also means “good” right? And one of the best “good” food choices you can make is deciding to eat at In-N-Out if you’re craving a burger.
That being said, In-N-Out is still a healthier fast food option than lots of its competition. By taking a bite of one of their tasty burgers, even if you get it “Animal style,” you’ll still feel like you’re tasting less grease than you normally do at a Carls Jr. or elsewhere.
Anyways, I want to tell you about my last experience at In-N-Out and why it causes me to want to go back for more – from time to time (not frequently, may I add).
The Lights
First of all, that sign and those lights that illuminate the words “In-N-Out” always attract me for some reason. I’m like a bug attracted to a lamp post when I see that huge “In-N-Out” sign.
I don’t know what it is, but In-N-Out must have hired some smart marketing and advertising gurus when they decided to configure their company’s design and look.
So there you have it, this is the first part of one’s “In-N-Out experience” that they’ll appreciate.
The Service
Another thing that does it for mean when it comes to In-N-Out is the service. You know how it is at most other fast-food restaurants. You’ll get a cashier who could care less about looking you in the face and greeting you, let alone care about the customer service they are providing. All they want to do is take your order and move on to the next customer.
I guess it comes with the pay.
But at In-N-Out, I’ve always received a formal greeting, a nice smile, and somebody who at least seems like they half-enjoy their place of employment. The little outfits they wear with the aprons and the paper hats don’t hurt either.
Either way, I like the service I get at In-N-Out. This is the second part of one’s “In-N-Out” experience that they’ll appreciate.
The Food
People sometimes complain about the menu at In-N-Out. “There aren’t enough choices,” they gripe. Or, “It’s too small,” they’ll often say. But for me, I like the fact that there are just a few sure-fire choices to pick from.
Maybe its because I stink at choosing, and making decisions. Maybe I get overwhelmed when I go to IHOP or Denny’s and see a menu with 100 different choices. But for me, I actually enjoy a smaller menu.
Now, as for the food itself, In-N-Out makes some of the freshest burgers you’ll find. If you don’t believe me, go try it for yourself. Even the lettuce has a nice, crisp, feel and taste to it. The meat is good, and always fresh, and even the cheese doesn’t taste as fake as what you’ll find at other restaurants.
And if you like onions, In-N-Out grills them….making them very tasty!
As for the fries, they aren’t the best. But you could do worse. At least they are small enough that you can stuff a handful into your mouth at once. That’s always a plus. Just dip them in some ketchup or throw some salt on them and you’ll be fine.
All that said, the food is the third part of one’s “In-N-Out experience” that they’ll appreciate.
The Satisfaction
Lastly, when you leave In-N-Out, you’ll have this satisfaction and warm feeling that comes over you. It’s like that feeling when you know that you’ve made a wise decision, or made the right choice.
You’ll get it every time you walk out of an In-N-Out and to your car. If you think I’m crazy, go test it out for yourself. You’ll know what I mean, soon enough, if you decide to try out the fourth part of one’s “In-N-Out experience” that they’ll come to appreciate.
The End
Okay, that’s long enough for a semi-unhealthy post. Just do me a favor if there is an In-N-Out near you, and you’ve never been there before to try there food.
Give it a shot before the month of October is over, okay? You can thank me later.
