I am not that impressed with in-n-out. Too greasy, and I don’t confuse “messy” and “tastes good” ---

Finally! Someone who agrees with me that they are greasy! Don’t get me wrong, I am well aware that fat content is very important to taste, especially in burgers. But I shouldn’t have to shower afterward. It’s just too much. My favorite burgers are from a local place where I grew up. And they still fry their fries in lard, and do the bag fries. Add in twenty different flavors of milkshakes and it’s heaven on earth… ---

Ohh, we have one of those, but it’s always so busy. And the guy running it is getting old and has no continuation plan. He dies it goes away, which sucks. ---

I’ve seen a few of these places, most look like they used be drive-ins. But yes, they often have bettr food (and better selections, unless you want a salad) than the chains. My favorite is still the blueberry cheesecake shake at a place in Sparks Nevada. ---

There are no places down here where I can get White Castle-style tiny burgers. There used to be a Krystal Burger up on the north side of Houston about an hour’s drive away, but it closed for some mad reason. My first trip to an actual White Castle was a disappointment. It was in St. Louis, and I was there for a work trip; I specifically set aside time to go have lunch at the nearest White Castle and I was super-excited to finally get to try the food. It was…meh. I left feeling pretty let down (and also pretty gross due to having just eaten like 12 white castle burgers). ---

Several grocery chains carry either the “real” White Castle burgers in the freezer section or similar tiny-burgers under some other brand name. ---

After eating both I do not understand either In-N-Out or Whataburger. Both seem to be as bad/good as Sonic burgers. Personally I like Braum’s burgers, especially the bbq bacon burger. 5 Guys is good but pricey. To each their own, I guess. ---

_Whataburger_ doesn’t do it for me, either, but several guys I know and work with love it. I think that because they grew up on it, the familiarity or nostalgia adds something. I like _Braum_’s, but don’t know of any this far south. I’ve only been to _5 Guys_ once and didn’t think it was as good as _SmashBurger_. ---

I miss Arctic Circle, but I’m not sure they even exist anymore. ---
