Impossible Project Fade to Black film personal project

Well I finally got a Polaroid SX-70 and could use the awesome Fade to Black film I had bought in NYC when I visited the newly opened Impossible Project space.

I decided to enjoy the beautifully sunny, warm day (Thursday, Sept 2, 2010) by working on this personal project and using the film by walking around my neighborhood, the Mission, and finding random folks to take portraits of at some of my favorite spots.  I also asked them to write down one word that they could relate to currently. Here’s what I got!

Fri Sep 3, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #43 – Double Double genex style (correctly made) – Redwood City, CA

09.03.10_innout

So I walked into this busy In-n-Out Burger in Redwood City that I hadn’t seen before.  It was more packed than I would have expected but then again it was a Friday at dinner time so I shouldn’t have been surprised.  Anyhow there were a ton of associates working since it apparently had just opened up the previous Thursday.  I thought it kind of looked funny to see so many of them behind there.

I ordered a “genex style” double double this time instead of my current crush – the Zack style… I had to wolf it down since I was working an rehearsal dinner so it totally hit the spot!

Ok, first off I realized I spelled “Zack style” wrong the last time so I’m correcting it here…

In the background there is the Orange Photography team enjoying our In-n-Out Burger lunch in the sun before we went off to Sea Bowl in Pacifica for a team offsite.   Check out the Orange Photography blog soon to see how that went!

See that green bit at the bottom right of the burger bite? Yep that’s one of the chillies that In-n-Out let’s you add.  I had considered trying a Double Double with chillies before but never actually added them until I made my order at the Fisherman’s Wharf In-n-Out Burger last night.

I ordered my own ‘genex style’ Double Double [genex style = animal style, no pickles, but with raw onions], and the associate whom I was ordering from, Zach MC, asked if I liked spicy.  Of course I do so I answered in the affirmative and he said, he orders his burger just like mine, but with sliced chilies.  Now I’m spelling chilies this way b/c that’s the way he spelled it out on the receipt.  Regardless, I asked if there was a secret menu name for that style of burger and he said no, so we agree to call it “Zach” style so hence this is the first mention of it.

Ask for it by name and since the associate you order from won’t understand, just explain what it contains.  If you use Foodspotting, here’s a link to it for the Fisherman’s Wharf In-n-Out Burger.  Continue reading Sun Aug 29, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #41 – Double Double Zach style (correctly made) – San Francisco, CA →

The In-n-Out Burger associate who took my order for this genex style Double Double was the best yet.  He didn’t flinch as I made my order to him in a steady direct manner since I’ve figured out the optimal way to order it to insure that it gets made right.  While it can be correctly rung up as DblDbl Animal P O, some associates add a “ADD RAW ONION” or something similar as Jerzees Fe did on my order that day.  Since I was going to a pool party this Double Double hit the spot quite well and filled me up until the BBQ/Housewarming I finally had later that afternoon!

Damn dynamic range on the iPhone camera – wanted to get the signature crossed palm trees in the background, but whatever… This was my 39th In-n-Out Burger for my 39th year of life.  Although this project may take a few years off my life, it’s about quality, not quantity right? 🙂

So I was reading the USA Today College Football preview during this lunch and of course they have freaking Alabama at #1 and Auburn at #23.  Guess we’ll see how it all pans out.  College football season and World Cup are my two favorite sporting events and I can’t believe it’s already time for football season!

Oh Daly City In-n-Out Burger, this was one of the more interesting inputs on my ‘genex style’ Double Double.  It was “Animal P Raw O instead” which I think got me just Animal style, without pickles, but ONLY raw onions.  I actually did like the taste of it and the Godzilla-sized lettuce was a nice touch.  Made me feel like I was getting a full serving of veggies!
