#3 Why in "opinion"?

#4 Took a Texas gal to an fancy restuarant and when she realized I just spent $60 on a tiny plate of food she "was not impressed!".

The next time we went to Whataburger where one burger is still HUGE and there were no complaints.

#7 Is there even any In-N-outs in Texas? I can't recall seeing one. And I'm not so sure it's Whataburger honestly. Chick-filet is the one with 3 lane drive throughs and is ALWAYS busy, every location, anytime they are open.

#8 Don't complain. In-N-Out just makes Texas even better.

#9 The "source" of this was an App called Foursquare... So transplanted out-of-state urban Millennials would starve looking for an In-N-Outs without the help of an iPhone?

#10 I've seen several in the I-35 corridor, even eaten at one. Unimpressed.

On the other hand, my wife, who has a fondness for the newest 'gourmet' burgers, allows me to take her to Whataburger (family owned sine 1952) every so often.

#11 Not sure about hipster; the bigwigs in the State of California called for a boycott. Got their pee-pees smacked over it.

Foursquare is a yellow pages of sorts for food, IIUC. A hipster app? I don't know.

I've heard both burger joints are good. I'll say I am richer for not living within driving distance of a Braum's. Could break a budget at Winstead's as well.

#12 Yes, we have In-n-Out Burger joints in Texas. 25 of them in the DFW Metroplex alone. They're okay, I'm still a Whataburger guy myself. Although Sonic will do as a standby.

#13 In & Out is good but hardly worth the worship they get in Southern California. Their burgers are good, their fries are bland.

#14 Five Guys. Great fries.
