In-N-Out Burger Coming to Salt Lake!

Atoz · #1 02-13-2009, 02:36 PM

I've been waiting for this for years...

First Five Guys, now In-N-Out. Ten ski resorts within an hour's drive of my house... This isn't such a bad place to live after all!

I just had Five Guys for lunch, only had In-N-Out twice.

Hmmm, so In-N-Out is starting its expansion towards the east coast now, eh?

Enjoy your Double Doubles Atoz, we've been for 60 years now, I guess it was only a matter of time.

The creator of In-N-Out used to live in my house before the In-N-Out Mansion was built.
Yes, theres an In-N-Out Mansion, located in Baldwin Park, Ca. About a block away from In-N-Out University. Yes, there is also a University.

Sweet!!! Maybe Denver is soon to get an In-n-Out. We recently got a 5 Guys, and I love that place. I haven't had In-n-Out in years.

In-N-Out used to be a California icon. Over the past few years its been spreading East, ever since his son took control of the company. They might as well open a few in every state, I dont mind sharing the wealth, so long as the customer service and quality of food stays the same.

Oh, and KEEP THE FRIGGN' PALM TREES!!! ITS A FRIGGIN' LOGO!!! The IN-N-OUT logo!!!!

I know... I was not really happy to read that they're considering changing the logo for the Salt Lake location.

MatticusMania · #8 02-13-2009, 02:58 PM

I just dont see the point in it. I mean, I get it, there (presumably) arent any palm trees in Salt Lake, but why should that negate a change in their classic logo? By retaining the logo it would kind of show people "Yeah, In-N-Out, you know... from California... its here, man!"

I don't understand it, either.

Very cool! Learn these phrases and terms that aren't on the menu board:

Four by four
Eight by eight
Animal style

MatticusMania · #11 02-13-2009, 03:14 PM

Also, animal style fries, and neopolitan shakes.

I'm sure there's a pretty large body of underground In-N-Out lingo! More than I've been able to learn and explore, for sure.

BTW, from a business standpoint In-N-Out is known for decent pay and benefits and very high revenue per location. Not many fast-food operations can boast both of those.

MakiSupaStar · #13 02-13-2009, 03:25 PM

I'm surprised it's not already there. IIRC the owners are Mormon. Being that you're in Utah and all.

Nah, the "secret" menu isnt all that extensive.

and yeah, starting pay at In-N-Out is like $10/hr. and theyre unionized, with great benefits!

I didn't know that. Maybe if I were Mormon, I would have.

Im sure you'll get one soon enough. I think the current owner is looking to expand all over the country, that imperialistic bastard.

I see lots of eight by eights sold there. People won't be able to get in the Alamo, let alone remember it.

Congratulations.

Well, I'm not Mormon, but I am a HUGE fan of In and Out, so I know these things. But know the sub menu. I'd like to see a before and after picture of Atoz trying to tackle an 8x8.
