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! Continue reading Mon May 17, 2010: In-N-Out Burger #21 – Double Double genex Style (correctly made)
Oh Napa In-n-Out Burger, you failed me! I didn’t want pickles but I did want raw onions and instead got the opposite. Oh well, I pulled out the pickles and enjoyed it nonetheless since. Hence my recording of my receipts so In-n-Out can do quality control 🙂
Totally been on a burger binge of late (five In-n-Out burgers in six days) and this latest Double Double I couldn’t even stop long enough to take a pic so here’s the last few bits I ate in the car, while Myleen drove me back to the studio. It was a bit of a rough morning having gotten back from AprilMistakes at 4:00am and then up at 8:00am for the first of three shoots today so it was much needed. If anything I will consider this burger medicinal… Continue reading Sun April 25, 2010: In-n-Out Burger #17 – genex style
Same rental car and the second trip to In-n-Out in the Dodge Caliber. I wonder if the rental car folks will be able to smell it in the morning when I return the car? This Double Double was courtesy of a photo shoot down at the Sofitel in Redwood City. Coming back up from the shoot I had my assistant stop off at In-n-Out for a requisite reward. Eating in the car is still a bit of a challenge for me, but I was able to keep everyone off myself.

Gotta love 4:20 – it’s a popular ‘holiday’ in San Francisco, and of course I like to enjoy it myself so today was pretty awesome since we had our planning meeting for our April Mistakes bash this weekend and did some decorating and such and afterwards, since I had a rental car for my shoot tomorrow, I mentioned I could give anyone a ride home, but that I’d be going to In-n-Out for dinner first. @megan and @aprilini were totally in so we drove down to the Daly City In-n-Out Burger.
The line at the drive through was ridiculous for some reason at 10pm on a Tuesday night so we were just thinking – well, In-n-Out is popular! Then when we got inside it was packed too and only after we were seated and looking around did we realize there were a lot of stoners in there.
*lightbulb*
Duh, 4-20 = stoners = hungry – and no doubt In-n-Out is a fave so we observed everyone even more closely and it was pretty funny to see the impact that 4:20 had on the line at In-n-Out. I’d be curious as to whether there’s a bump in sales on that day each year… hm… Well in honor of that and the last year of my thirties I decided on a 3×3 which totally hit the spot!

Number twelve came close on the heels of #11 since I still had a rental car so I ended up going with Laura to the In-n-Out at Fisherman’s Wharf before the Festizio show at the Red Devil Lounge on a rainy Sunday night. I also was informed by the awesome San Francisco Public Library, that my reservation for the In-n-Out book by Stacy Perman was ready for me to pick it up!

Heading up to Wine Country to shoot a wedding which almost always means a trip to In-n-Out either on my way up and/or the way down, but since I was traveling with my assistant/second shooter, I figured she wouldn’t be up for a double double of In-n-Out, so I got it on the way up hitting the Mill Valley location for a nice and filling pre-shoot meal.
