Where is inside out burger

Say the magic words medium rare , and any burger can be cooked so that it retains a nice pink center. Don't worry, the patty still manages to form some of that signature In-N-Out brown crust.

As for those chopped chilis, I'm no amateur when it comes to heat, but biting one of these diminutive fire-bombs in half nearly brought me to tears. They're not for the faint-hearted! Those who want to mix up the flavor of their condiments without setting fire to their throats might instead want to just ask to add mustard or add ketchup.

I was surprised when I found that you can opt out of the delicious Thousand Island-style spread and instead go for the more familiar red and yellow squirts. Thomas assured me that it was an uncommon request. By the way, you can indeed order 2 x 4 's or 4 x 2 's, or even 1 x 4 's if you are particularly fond of American cheese. If you are this type, you can ask for cold cheese.

As we were working our way through the order, I noticed the couple beside me asking for a veggie burger. If for some reason you've decided to step into In-N-Out as a non-meat eater, no worries, this is a hippie town after all.

You can forgo all the beefiness for a simple salad-in-a-bun. Also known as a wish burger as in, "I wish there was meat in this burger" , it's a toasted bun piled high with hand-leafed lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and of course, onions, spread, and pickles upon request. If you really love veggies and really hate carbs, you can also get your burger as a lettuce wrap by asking for it protein style.

Some idiosyncratic folk prefer to keep their roughage and their meat in separate beds. If this adequately describes you, you might consider ordering a salad on the side. Even Thomas admitted that only a few of the deepest, inner-circle In-N-Out employees will honor the request, but you can always hack your way to it by requesting extra lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on the side. It'll come tucked into a Double-Double wrapper. Ask for an extra packet of spread, and you've got yourself a fully-seasoned daily-allowance of vegetables at no extra cost.

That should make you feel better about yourself when you tuck into the meat and cheese fest known as the Flying Dutchman —the ultimate Atkins-friendly menu item.

Two slices of cheese melted between two burger patties. No rabbit food, no wimpy buns, just pure protein and fat. Want to kick up the manliness by yet another factor? Ask for a Flying Dutchman Animal Style and they'll add a scoop of diced onions to the cheese. Pickles and spread will come on the side, so you'll have to add them yourself.

The result definitely wins the award for messiest menu item of all time. Ask for a Neapolitan, and you get all three flavors in one gloriously integrated and harmonious cup.

Not big into shakes? The words root beer float will get you a half cup of root beer topped with a swirl of vanilla soft-serve. Everyone knows that In-N-Out's fries are notoriously bad despite being fresh cut in-house—it's because they only fry them once instead of the superior McDonald's-style double-fry —but there are ways to improve them.

First, you can get them extra crispy by saying well done. The fries turn out more dry and crunchy than crispy with a fluffy center, but it's a definite improvement. If you're on the opposite end of the spectrum, you can also request your fries light, where they'll come to your tray almost completely blond, limp, and greasy. I dunno. Some people like these, apparently.

Thomas corroborated the rumored accounts of customers who go even more extreme; one customer regularly ordered two minute fries, which were still crunchy and raw in the middle.

Potential fry hack: Order a few trays of In-N-Out fries extra light, bring them home, then refry them yourself. By resting them on the way home, they should be in perfect shape to crisp up into perfect, double-fried fries by the time you get them into your own kitchen, providing you with fresh, double-fried potatoes with the tedious cutting and initial deep-frying work taken care of for you. And of course, if you want to gussy up your gear, all you've got to do is ask for some stickers.

You can get either the classic In-N-Out crossed palm trees over a white background, or a piece sticker-puzzle that features a couple of boys hiding behind a car and being very naughty indeed. As we wrapped up our order and he rung it in, Thomas confided, "This was the coolest day I've ever had at work. It was a cool day, and I thought I was all done until I spied a customer doing this:. Like ice cream scooped onto apple pie, shoving fries into a burger just makes sense, right?

Drain, cool, and finely crumble. Transfer to a bowl and add the cheese and scallion. Form the beef into twelve 3-inch patties and season with salt and pepper. Divide the cheese mixture between 6 patties. Top with the remaining patties and pinch to seal the edges completely. Flatten to 4-inch burgers and brush lightly with oil. Light a grill and oil the grates.

Grill the burgers over high flames for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once for medium-rare. Toast the buns, top with lettuce, tomato, and condiments and serve right away.

However, In-N-Out, based in Irvine, in southern California, has consistently refused to heed the requirements in the Bay Area, which are some of the strictest in the state. The restaurant reopened last week but is supposed to only offer takeout and outdoor dining.
