get dem chopped chillies
Here's my theory on In-N-Out: Up until about 10 years it absolutely must have been the best place to get a fast food style quality burger. This was a novelty. Now all around the country you've got places like Five Guys, Shake Shack, Whataburger, plus a whole reasonable craft pub-style burger scene. These places have really watered down the impact of In-N-Out on a newcomer who didn't grow up on them before experiencing all these other awesome burgers.
It would be like if NC had an awesome fast food burrito chain that locals loved for years but really was just about as good as Chipotle.
I'm in the overrated camp too. But make the trek for the office or umami burger, neither are overrated at all.
yeah this was pretty much my experience. is it a really good fast food burger? yes. is it nearly as good as Californians make it out to be? absolutely not.
i wonder if people from outside NC feel the same way about Cookout
Hijack - anyone ever been to a BurgerFi? One coming to Raleigh soon. Never even heard of it before now.
They're actually building several in the area.
