Sat June 26, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #28 – Double Double Animal Style – Daly City, CA

Number 28 was a challenge.  I was driving to a wedding past Half Moon Bay and had to get there on time, but also wanted to watch the USA vs. Ghana World Cup match so I knew I had to get down south fast, to sit my ass down at a sports bar to take in as much of the match as I could, and also get my fix of In-n-Out to fuel me for the long day of shooting.  So I did the drive through thing and ate this Animal Style Double Double in the car while trying to avoid crashing.  Since the CA-1 is such a gorgeous drive and super windy, this was especially difficult, and hence the decision to not get it “genex style” which is even harder to eat cleanly.  I thought that this very American meal would help propel the US past Ghana, but alas, I had to leave the sports bar as it went into the extra time and just as I turned the radio on, I heard Ghana score.  Damn you USA, I should have got it ‘genex style’ I guess… I take the blame but am now supporting the Black Stars!

Tue June 15, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #26 – Double Double genex Style (correctly made) – Mill Valley, CA

Heading back up to Napa means a visit to In-n-Out – this time the Mill Valley location, where I was foiled by a bunch of high school kids backing up the line out the door.  I shook my fist in anger but waited it out.  My “genex style” burger came out correctly although the receipt and order input was unique with them marking it as Onions Instead of Pickles. Since there’s some random background stuff in the pics from this meal, I was reading about the BP Oil Spill during my meal, and the receipt was shot on the back of the current issue of PDN (I am pretty sure that’s a Profoto ad with a Bruce Springsteen ad in it).

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…

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 21, 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!

Well, well, well, this was one of the ones I had to check out and I was pretty amped to finally make it out to the Kanner Architects designed Westwood location. This spot is pretty choice since there are tons of UCLA coeds swarming the area and of course the design of this one is really pretty sweet.  Apparently, according to the In-n-Out Burger Wikipedia page, it’s one of the few variances from the ‘templates’ that most of the In-n-Out Burgers fit into.  The others are our own Fisherman’s Wharf location and one in Santa Clarita, north of LA.  The actual drive-thru of this location is pretty random.  I wasn’t using it but realized afterwards that you pretty much need to know where the entrance for the drive thru is before you get here since it’s some random alley without a sign.  Back to the actual burger, it was  spot on as usual and it was definitely the most fun actual location to eat my genex style double double!

Sherman Oaks’ In-n-Out Burger was my first on this particular SoCal trip.  I was excited since I thought I might have a chance to swing by the HQ and/or Number One.  I’ve been to Number One before but this would be the first trip there during my “Year of In-n-Out” but alas I didn’t make it down.  Anyhow, as usual, a trip to In-n-Out is always a good sign and since they got my genex style Double Double right so I was happy and the trip proved productive.

Second time at this In-n-Out Burger in Napa in a week and this burger was just right – it almost looks like one of the shots you might see in an ad the way it’s so perfectly presented.  But of course that’s not gonna stop me from devouring it since I was pretty damn hungry at this point.  I had been shooting at Clos Pegase Winery earlier and there was a fancy dinner there in the caves when I was finishing up of course that makes my hunger even worse so I jetted down to get this double double to satisfy my hunger.  Definitely hit the spot!

Wed May 12, 2010: In-n-Out Burger #19 - Animal Style, no pickles

A rare double day which I had planned since that’s why I only got the grilled cheese for lunch and this Double Double in the evening after my shoot up in Napa.  Yum!  When I picked it up it looked a bit over slathered in secret sauce, but I was freaking hungry so I didn’t care and it tasted especially good anyhow.  I didn’t get this one genex style since I had raw/fresh onions on my grilled cheese in the morning so this was just a straight up Animal Style with no pickles.  The bun, however, was particularly tasty but I’m not complaining at all!
