In-n-Out is IMHO the best fast food. It is consistently good and fresh. Far more than anyone else is. Franchise operations are notorious for problems mostly related from cheap owners who skip on cleanliness, good employees, and facility maintainance.
Well said
In-N-Out: cheap, clean, consistent and bland.
Two requests that will make them even better:
1.) Ask for "extra crispy" fries. That changes them from bland to normal tasting.
2.) Ask for you onions grilled. That boosts the burger flavor from good to excellent.
