Sun Aug 29, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #41 – Double Double Zach style (correctly made) – San Francisco, CA
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.

Sun Aug 22, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #40 – Double Double genex style (correctly made) – Pleasanton, 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!
Sun July 18, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #34 – Double Double genex Style (correctly made) – Daly City, CA
So the aftermath of the BreastFest on Saturday meant a hungover Sunday morning so after my meeting at the Ritz Carlton down in Half Moon Bay, I knew that a Double Double could help make me feel better. You can see I’m sitting at the handicap table which was appropriate considering how crappy I felt. I really wanted a shake too but just felt I was assaulting my body too much even for some cool creamy richness 🙂

Burger photo fail!
Yep, after tasting way too many beers at the BreastFest (photos) at Fort Mason Center, a few of us smartly got the urge for In-n-Out Burger and headed down to the Wharf! As you can see, we wolfed them down and this was all that was left. BreastFest itself was really fun. I tried a ton of beers and of course had some old favorites too. A complete list after the jump!

San Francisco’s Best Burger?
Do you like burgers? I love ’em so when we saw that 7×7 Magazine had done their top twenty burgers in San Francisco, we decided to try out their top ten and do our own evaluation. Now, these are more the cloth-napkin type of establishments where the top ten were chosen from so my dining companions @a and @sfgirl went through them together and we have arrived at our final judgments.
If you are interested in my general favorite burger list (which as of this posting has not been updated to reflect these last ten burgers, check it out here. That’ll give you an idea for the types of burgers I like (Pearl’s, In-n-Out, Bullshead, Zeitgeist for example) so you can determine whether my reviews of these other higher-end burgers is relevant to your tastes.
Best Burgers in San Francisco (based on 7×7’s reviews*):
1) Bix
2) Spork
3 tie) Mission Beach Cafe, Fish and Farm, NOPA
6 tie) Namu & Spruce (shown above)
8 ) Zuni Cafe
9) Orson
10) Serpentine
And this list posted on Yelp is here (where you can read in more detail about each of the dining experiences).
* we substituted Orson for Acme Chophouse, since Acme no longer exists. Why not Slow Club? Well, we had all already eaten there before so we chose Orson b/c of the many high ratings it’s gotten like from Michael Bauer, the Chronicle’s food writer.
Fri July 2, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #31 – Double Double genex Style (correctly made) – Pinole, CA
I underestimated Fourth of July traffic and it took me nearly two hours to get to the Pinole In-n-Out Burger from San Francisco so I was super starving when I did get there. I was running a bit late because of that but just couldn’t do the eating-in-the-car thing so instead chowed down inside. Luckily the order came out remarkably fast for In-n-Out and my genex style Double Double was just right! It seems lately the staff ask if I want raw onions “instea”d or “in addition to” more often instead of saying “both” types of onions. Well it was pretty tasty, but I think the irritation from the traffic and rushing made it my least enjoyable burger of the year – damn traffic!!!
Thu June 10, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #26 – Double Double genex Style (correctly made) – Gilroy, CA
What’s the best thing to eat before a photoshoot outdoors in the sun? An In-n-Out Burger Double Double of course. So we had to drive down to Watsonville for our shoot at Driscoll’s and the Gilroy In-n-Out Burger was the perfect pit stop. It was so nice and sunny and we got here early so it wasn’t even that busy! Oh and those are animal style fries (extra crispy) in the background, which Vicki recommended and that Natalie tried for the first time… mmm…
Tue June 8, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #25 – Double Double genex Style (correctly made) – Daly City, CA
Ah the first In-n-Out Burger of June! After shooting at City College I felt I was too close to this In-n-Out Burger in Daly City not to make the jaunt down the 280 to get my fix. Vicki picked me up from the shoot and we got this to eat in the car – the prefect post-shoot reward.
Sun May 24, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #24 – Double Double genex Style (correctly made) – Long Beach, CA
Thank you Jetblue for the $9 flight down to Long Beach from San Francisco. It also enabled me to get this one last In-n-Out Burger since there was one in Long Beach not far from LGB. I almost felt it was too much to have yet another Double Double, but knowing that I’d be rental car-less for a while I thought it best to go ahead and have one more. This one seemed a little sloppy on the secret sauce, and I imagine Harry Snyder might not have approved. At least it tasted swell!
