For those who are lucky enough to have lived on the West Coast and surrounding regions, In-N-Out is almost a way of life. For the rest of us, it’s a matter of hopping on a plane and experience the holy goodness that In-N-Out is made of. Now I’m not trying to exaggerate here, I’ve eaten at tons of food joints in my lifetime, but In-N-Out is different from the rest, it’s special. I don’t know why I’ve been settling for less when it came to other fast food restaurants when something as heavenly satisfying exists on this planet earth. Go and love yourself, and try In-N-Out Burger ASAP.

I remember my first time at In-N-Out like it was yesterday. My sister’s best friend suggested it after she picked us up from the airport, and we all know that long flights can make one hungry. We went through the drive through, and it was a little past midnight, but that wasn’t stopping everyone else from waiting in the outstanding long drive thru line.

I’m thinking to myself that we’re not going to make it to the drive thru window until 2 am! But then I see someone coming towards the vehicle with a headset and uniform, and I realized that not all heroes wear capes. We had our order taken before going up to the window by somebody very friendly who knew exactly what they were doing. There wasn’t any, “Okay what was that second thing?” or “You wanted what to drink?” The person taking our order had it all together, which brings up the next and arguably most important thing: the menu.

The menu is SO SIMPLE, but it works! You have your standard hamburger, cheeseburger, fries, and drinks. If you want something a little more crazy, have no fear, because In-N-Out has a secret menu which involves ANIMAL STYLE FRIES…need I say more? It’s so easy to order which makes it easy on large groups and for those who can’t simply make up their mind.

Once you get up to the window after who knows how long, and you receive your blessing (aka your food), you instantly smell the freshness of the food before even opening it. It’s hard to resist eating the whole meal on your way back home, but you must be patient. GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT!

So once you’re settled and ready to experience the much-raved about In-N-Out Burger, you have to take a moment of silence--a moment of silence for those who are less fortunate and don’t have an In-N-Out Burger.

Then you take that first bite of that juicy burger and bam! You’re instantly in love. That’s all there is to it. Nothing was the same, like Drake said. You’re no longer ‘lovin’ it,’ and wonder why you’ve been missing out on what real quality food is. So if you’re ever lucky enough to be in the perimeters of an In-N-Out, make the trip and your life will be forever changed, I promise you!
