Chicken caesar burritos. Yum yum. Or, yes, REAL Mexican food.

El Polo Locco !!! Only in L.A.. Must be a bunch of transplants like me. There was a little mexican restaurant in El Segundo that had the best Mexican food ever.

Or any of the fatness from Jack in the Box!! Although, I doubt In-N-Out would ever come this far because they're not a franchise. They're all still family-owned. Oh well. Del Taco and Jack in the Box though I'm sure would sell.

And yeah they do have these burgers all animal style and secret menu and whatnot... Also Fatburger is good, better than the In-N-Out in my opinion... I am stationed down in Arkansas and drive at least once every 2 weeks on a 2 hour journey to Texarkana to eat Whataburger, who by far tops all fast food burger joints!!! Definately a place you need to try when you go to Texas. Fri, 11 Jan 2008 00:56:03 -0500 http://www.indy.com/posts/3592#comment_10971 http://www.indy.com/posts/3592#comment_10971 kimikokopuffs p.s. Fatburger is a good one to try too. But again, in the end, it's still a burger. It's not like these are blue cheese and portabella-topped Kobe beef patty sliders or anything super fancy or special. They're good, old-fashioned yummy cheeseburgers. Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:21:11 -0500 http://www.indy.com/posts/3592#comment_10945 http://www.indy.com/posts/3592#comment_10945 kimikokopuffs OK, no. In-N-Out is just fine, but it's one of those things you love and crave when you can't have it. It's good, but it's nothing super duper special. I grew up in SoCal, so I always had it around. They're good little burgers, real fresh, and really affordable. There are only, like, 5 things on the entire menu and all sorts of special things you can order that aren't on the menu (animal style, protein style, half and half shakes, etc). But it's nothing that will blow your mind when you try it. (And I really don't think 96th Street Steakburger comes close. I think if you added a smidge of the sauce from the Frisco melt to a regular steakburger at Steak N Shake, you'd probably be closer.) The thing is, all of us folks who are used to having it, miss it when we can't have it. And yes, it's great hangover food too. It'd kind of be like, oh, maybe Yats. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Yats. It's one of the first places I take people when they come to town. It's not the best food in the world, but it's cheap and fast and tasty. And you can only get it here. So when I move back to Cali, I'm going to be feening for some Yats. And if that continues and I hype it up to everyone I know in Cali, they'd have the same reaction when coming to Indy to try it. Good (damn good! want a bowl of steaming Cajun goodness right now!), but not out of this world.

However, when I'm in Texas, WHATABURGER is essential. They have some in Florida now, perhaps expanding elsewhere.

I used to go after being out all night..perfect cure for a hangover! 96th Street Steakburger is very close to In-n-Out! I do recommend a visit or 2....

Not out of this world, but good. Worth trying just for the experience. No one told me about the grilled cheese! I would've tried that too!

Its not too far off from 96th Street Steakburgers. Wed, 09 Jan 2008 23:03:34 -0500 http://www.indy.com/posts/3592#comment_10912 http://www.indy.com/posts/3592#comment_10912
