Heresy! You call yourself a red blooded American male??
Too much caviar has ruined your taste buds.
Just had In N Out two weeks ago. Was as good as when in my 20's. When my middle son graduated from the Marines MCRD in San Diego, after the graduation ceremony, I asked him where he'd like to go off base to get some lunch. Immediately said In N Out.
More of a Marie Calendar's Chicken Pot Pie taste now eh? Nice and soft on the ol' dentures..
I think it’s your maturing and refining taste. For me, it’s a nostalgia trip, the burgers taste just like they did when I first had one as a seven-year-old. But they’re not my favorite, even among fast-food joints. I’d probably put Habit Burger Grill (founded in 1969 in Santa Barbara) at the top. Shake Shack second. Five Guys is great, but just outrageously expensive.
No experience with In n Out, but I compare the Hot 'N' Juicy Wendy's burgers to the dry version of today.....Dave has to be spinning in his grave
The last couple of times I've purchased burgers from Wendy's, I was extremely disappointed. The burgers were dry and had obviously been sitting around for a long time. I haven't gone to Wendy's for a couple of years.
How much did he make on the sale of Wendy's?
The two closest drive-thru burger places to the radio station are McDonalds and Wendy's, so when I do that for lunch, Wendy's is the lesser of two evils. Still, it's nowhere near as good as it was when I first discovered them in 1977 in Reno.
Dave stepped away from day-to-day operations in 1982. That was six years after the company went public. The IPO raised $28 million in 1976, which was probably the biggest single chunk of money Dave ever saw. After that, expansion costs, the early-80's recession, the 1990s purchase of Canada's Tim Horton's (which didn't work out well) all brought the company down to a less-than-stellar orbit.
I always thought Wendy's was a Yum brand.
Nope. Yum is/was KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Long John Silvers and, for burgers, A&W.
You seem to be talking to yourself!…..aaaand…boom:
In-N-Out Burger planning to open first Idaho restaurant
One of the region’s favorite burger stops is coming to Idaho.www.idahostatejournal.com
No, Seatownmedia responded (right below that post), just without quoting. And I meant to respond to him. I hadn't realized that Boise was within 600 miles of the In-N-Out distribution center in Logan, Utah. So one in metro Portland isn't necessary for expansion to Boise.You seem to be talking to yourself!
I meant to comment about this earlier: If a #4 company merges with a #5 company, it can become the #1 company, so if #8 merges with #10, it should be higher than #8, not lower. It isn't an average but rather a total of the two.In 2019, it was true…combined, Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. just edged out Jack in the Box and Whataburger. But it looks like they took one helluva hit during the pandemic, while Jack, Sonic and Culver’s all gained.

It’s now:
1. McDonalds
2. Wendy’s
3. Burger King
4. Sonic
5. Jack in the Box
6. Whataburger
Carl’s has officially split itself and Hardee’s into two separate chains for accounting purposes (go figure), but Hardee’s was 8th and Carl’s 10th, so let’s average it out and say 9th... meaning Culver’s is ahead of them and Five Guys is breathing down their necks.
That's OK, it's the sign of an active brain.
Makes sense until you look at how much both Hardee's and Carls Jr. lost from their previous rankings (8.5% for Carl's, 9.5% for Hardee's), and how much the competition grew in the same time period (3% for Five Guys, 4.8% for Jack in the Box and Wendy's, 5.6% for Whataburger, 10.6% for Culver's and 20.1% for Sonic).
I'm wearing an In-N-Out T-Shirt as I write this.
We don't usually agree on politics, but I'll agree with you all day when it comes to the wonder that is In N Out Burger.
Once or twice, in the depths of the pandemic, I've toyed with the idea of having two #19 sandwiches from Langer's at 7th and Alvarado in Los Angeles sent to me the same way. At $109, I'm happy to report I resisted. But still....
As I learned dealing with a Maoist Communist labor leader in Ecuador, if there is even just one common interest, the rest can be worked out. In that case we found that we both love the Ecuadorian style shrimp ceviche from a well known Quito restaurant. It ended up that when we had an "irreconcilable" difference, one of us would say, "cheviche time" and take a cab to the restaurant and enjoy our common love along with a Pilsener or two and, then, we'd find a way to negotiate.
Yum is Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC
