In-N-Out Burger, San Bernardino

In-N-Out has flat out the best burger for a fast food chain that I have ever tasted. I don't' know why I need to qualify it as the best fast food burger, it beats all class of burgers hands down. In-N-Out has many devoted fans through out the world and has a cult like following. They have Burger production down to a science. In-N-Out must also have enlightened management, they know enough not to mess with a good thing. In-N-Out has a very limited menu, burgers, fries and shakes. With an simple menu they can really concentrate on cranking out a quality product. They boast that none of their restaurants have freezers, everything is fresh.

The bun is toasted and is the perfect size, not big and doughy like some chains. They place the top bun on the grill with the meat that is covered in melted cheese. This helps all of the ingredients meld into a super tasting burger. Add tomato, lettuce and their 1000 Island based sauce and you have perfection. In-N-Out has a secret menu, you can order "Animal Style", with grilled onions and mustard or a 4x4, many variations of the menu items. Did a google search on In-N-Out Secret Menu and received over ten pages of results. The shakes are good also, thick and creamy. Service is always good, In-N-Out starts their employees out at a decent wage and the jobs are highly prized by teenagers.

Anyone who likes a good cheeseburger should give In-N-Out a try.

Baker's is an Inland Empire institution, you must try the Double Baker when you're in the IE. I have lived in So Cal most of my life and had never heard of Baker's until I moved east. The farthest store west is in Upland, east is Beaumont. Personally I think the Double Baker gives In-N-Out a real run for their money. It is going to take a lot more taste testing before I make a final decision which burger rules. Baker's advertises as the first "Double Kitchen", "Since 1952". The double kitchen refers to American and Mexican. I stick to the American side of the house, I found the tacos a bit bland and greasy. They have a good line of grilled chicken sandwiches, my favorite is the chicken Malibu, it is garnished with a large Ortega chili and Monterrey cheese. The also serve breakfast, tasty egg tacos are on the menu. Baker's is a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
