Tears and a two-mile-long line mark opening of the first In-N-Out Burger joints in Texas

  If you know anyone from Southern California, you've probably heard them wax poetic about In-N-Out Burger.

The legendary family-run chain is now winning over legions of new fans, but farther east than ever before as two new restaurants open in the north Texas towns of Frisco and Allen.

Cars lined up as far as two miles for the drive-thrus, and fans spent the night in the parking lot, for the chance to get a bite of the first In-N-Out burgers east of Arizona.

Danielle DeInnocentes of The Colony, Texas, broke into tears after she bit into a Double-Double, a famous In-N-Out sandwich made from two meat patties and two slices of cheese.

Ms DeInnocentes is originally from Rialto, California, and in a video posted online, she says she is ecstatic that In-N-Out opened a restaurant two miles from her house.

She told restaurant staff: 'You're going to see my every day'.

Ms DeInnocentes called the Double-Double 'the best hamburger in the world', and said, 'Pinch me, it doesn't feel real!'

America is doomed if this is an emotional experience.

CC: In-N-Out Burgers are a religious experience in fast food.

No, literally, they reference bible verse on their wrappers and containers. Also, their burgers are outstanding.

It should also be mentioned that this was the only remaining good thing about California. That state can now go fall in the ocean with absolutely no loss to anyone else now that INNO is here in Texas. :D

I lived in So Cal for a decade and I love a good burger as much as the next guy, but I just don’t get the love affair with In and Out Burger.

Give me a real cheese burger on a kaiser roll stacked with lettuce tomato and red onion on a plate with hand cut fries and a gol dang beer!

Unbelievable. My wife and myself stopped at one of those In ‘n Outs once years ago, and couldn’t find any reason to make a point of going out of our way to return. If one of those restaurants is in the way, and we are hungry we will stop and eat, but NO it’s not anything to get excited about.

It’s a burger joint for cryin’ out loud.

Flavor and smell are the senses most closely associated with memory. That young woman is tasting memories of her youth in Rialto California and good times and good burgers gone-by.

America is not doomed so long as there are companies like In N Out able to grow up from nothing and thrive and prosper among the giant franchise garbage - providing better food at a better price with better employment conditions.

I cannot imagine having such a vapid life that a hamburger brings tears.

She actually looks like she could stand to eat a double double every day.

IN-N-OUT is fairly good for California, but it still isn’t a Whataburger.

In-N-Out is the best burger joint around these parts, though I’ve lost my taste for their fries. It seems like very few places cook their freedom fries enough for me any more. They just seem limp and soggy. But a double double with cheese and a double helping of grilled onions is a heck of an experience.

For some reason, I find the name “In ‘n’ Out” a little off putting.

The problem with In-n-out is when they get really busy they start just slapping those things together and serving soggy or underdone fries. The burgers come out very sloppy and the fries go in the trash. I live less then a mile from one of the very first stores and I’ve ate there since I was a kid. but not very much anymore because of the above stated problems.

Two miles for a so-so burger? What dolts.

BTW, yes I have tried them before.
