Bite Down On A Big Birthday Celebration!
One of California’s most famous burger chains celebrated a big milestone on October 22.
Yes, the burger that the rest of the US can only dream about got one year older and another year better!
Happy 75th birthday, In-N-Out!
For those unaware, the fast food burger chain called “In-N-Out Burger” opened its doors on Oct. 22, 1948 in Baldwin Park, a suburb of Los Angeles California.
The distinctive building a sign will draw your attention, as well as the never-ending LONG LONG LONG lineup of cars all day and night – you can order inside or drive-thru, and there is always a crowd!
Their “Secret” Menu!
In the 75 years since it first opened, the chain has slowly expanded throughout California, Arizona and a few in Texas, and it’s mystique has grown as well – mostly because the chain refuses to expand east – oh, and they have a wild “secret menu” as well!
Try The “Protein Style” Burger!
Exactly what you expect: all protein, no bun! Instead, the burgers and cheese are surrounded by lettuce, tomato and onion, plus their secret sauce!
The “Animal Style” Burger!
This is the most well-known secret menu item: it’s a patty that has been grilled with a coating of mustard, then they add pickles, and lots of grilled onions smothered in cheese!
The Legendary “Animal Style” Fries!
Yes, they take your french fries, smother them in grilled onions, cheese and sauce, and serve them up looking as good as they taste – and on this day, I got them with a “double double” – two patty burger, the most popular one they serve!
I shared more of their menu at my food website “Bite! Eat Repeat!”

Even though I’ve lived in California since high school, I’d never tried one until last year. I thought it was delicious. Our city finally joined the franchise.

HA! There was a big family battle about whether to expand this chain and they chose not to…the burgers are really good because that’s all they do! Thanks for the comment! By the way, there is an In-N-Out two blocks from LAX airport and there is always a line of 50 cars waiting!

Some don’t like too much excess but here it works…and the only thing that makes the fries edible…they just have no flavor! Thanks for commenting, always great to hear from you!
