how did that work out?
the best meal i ever had in my life was at Bar Crudo on Divis in SF. owners pivoted to a taco place, for reasons unfathomable to me. had a dinner that blew my conception of food open, went to a show nearby after.
got home at 3AM and made myself a bit of sausage and toast and to my surprise the experience of my prior meal persisted, and in contrast my late night snack seemed like it was made of cardboard.
- gnicholas 5y agoTaste-wise, delicious! It is a bit odd to wear a tux or suit to an In-N-Out at midnight, but after a few times you get used to it.
- nomel 5y agoWhat's the main allure for you?
- gnicholas 5y agoThe burgers, for sure. I've never been a fan of their spongy fries. I'd be happy to eat elsewhere as well, but there aren't a lot of options at midnight.
- spear 5y agoI always order fries "well-done" at In-N-Out now.
- ghaff 5y agoFor some reason I don't really understand, while I can't stand McDonalds in general, their fries are better than any of the "fast casual" places like Shake Shack, In-n-Out, etc. that I've encountered.
- gnicholas 5y agoMcD partially fries and freezes their fries before fully frying them. [1] That probably makes them more crispy and tastier to many (myself included). In-N-Out uses fresh potatoes, which means no fry-freeze-fry. Five Guys has very crispy and tasty fries — especially the cajun style — that are not double fried.

- ghaff 5y agoI admit I don't remember Five Guys fries as anything exceptional but maybe I haven't ever had them. Admittedly I find Five Guys pretty overrated and expensive generally so I eat them even more rarely than burger places generally.
- gnicholas 5y agoThe burgers are overpriced compared to In-N-Out, but the lines are much shorter as a result. Fries aren't cheap, but 90% of the time a 'small' fries at Five Guys is bigger than a large anywhere else.
