As someone living on the East Coast who is never within 2,000 miles of an In n Out Burger, I’ll continue to do my part.
In N Out is okay. I’ll never understand the cult following this place has. It’s literally a case study in manufactured scarcity.
It’s like the Chick-Fil-A folks. Same cult, different chain.
Same. Everyone used to rave about how good it was, but I always thought it was just average. Slightly better than the major fast food chains, but on-par with every local chain.
It was the standard for me. Not the best but certainly above the average. Didn’t care much for it until I moved to the east coast.
This is why we NEED worker’s unions. They can fight this corporate power bullshit.
Ribbit
It’s never going to be gone, specifically because of people like this.
Just like the flu never went away after the 1918 pandemic, again, because of people like to this.
They never really acknowledged it was here. I live near one of the Colorado locations and it has been (in)famous for COVID outbreaks the entire pandemic. And, for whatever obvious reasons, In-N-Out hasn’t had the same closures enforced on them that every other restaurant did. During an outbreak they’re supposed to close for a few days in our state, but they’re basically the only restaurant that has refused to close and has never faced repercussions out here. It’s maddening.
There’s TWO in colorado. One opened last year, the the other just opened in April.
More than that now, actually. There are two just in Colorado Springs and a bunch up in Denver Metro.
Boycott all fast food, it’s a plague on society.
It’s time for slow food to shine!
I can get behind this notion. Fast food has significantly made the human population, on average, uglier.
I will fight the urge to drive 635 miles to my nearest In-N-Out because of this.
Literally why?! This is so fuckin stupid.
I quit going there recently after reading that most of their meat comes from a place that is so bad it’s nicknamed Cowschwitz.
Its bad even getting close to Cowshwitz. The air is kind of green as you get close to it on the 5, all of a sudden you remember it’s there and try desperately to roll up windows or shut down the airflow in the car. In the end, it doesn’t help.
There are none within a few hundred miles of me so … I’m doing my part?
I like In-N-Out’s food okay. What I really like is their simple menu. It’s the only fast food my family eats because they can do gluten free safely. The owners are definitely conservative and christian (and weirdly so imo) but those freaks know how to run a well-functioning restaurant. The mask ban is obviously stupid but I won’t boycott over it. Sucks for the workers, but also In-N-Out pays better and appears to treat their staff much better than your typical fast food joint. I’d hate to see those jobs shifted over to something like another McDonald’s, for example.
Five Guys is really good about allergens, including gluten. They have a special allergen free zone in the kitchen that is apparently a huge pain in the ass to prepare for use each time, but they make sure it’s not got any of what you’re avoiding. If you ask for something to be left out of your order they ask: “Allergy or preference?”
Five Guys? Good about allergens? I opened the door and was faced with a horror show. Peanuts to the left of me, peanuts to the right. Peanuts to the center. I retired from the field.
Yeah, idk… I went to their website and the fries are not flagged for peanut allergy yet it also says “cooked in 100% peanut oil” so that does not inspire confidence lmao
They aren’t exaggerating. There are literally pallets of peanuts just out in the open at Five Guys. It’s one of their things.
It’s probably 100% refined peanut oil, which removes the protein people are allergic to during the refinement process.
Interesting. I had no idea.
Yep peanut oil in the US is safe for people allergic to peanuts.
That’s good to know, thanks. I’ve never been to a Five Guys and I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some love it/some hate it. I hear they’re expensive? I will try them for safe GF.
Five guys is absolutely delicious…but they have peanuts in shells for free to snack on in the dining room so beware if you’re allergic.

Oh is that not a thing anymore? I wonder why they even bothered to change it?

They’re mediocre AF anyways.
