#5 - Simple Menu
Have you ever pulled up to a fast-food restaurant only to find yourself over-burdened with seemingly hundreds of options to choose from? Maybe this image below is a familiar sight to you:
This is something you'll never have to worry about at In-N-Out Burger! With barely over 10 items listed on the menu (and over half of those being beverages) you won't ever have to fear that there will be too many things you'll want to try and don't know what to get. Here is an actual picture of their menu:
#4 - Scripture References
Ever wanted to think about religious topics while you eat? In-N-Out Burger has got you covered for that too. Back in the 1980s the owners of In-N-Out Burger decided to print discreet references to bible verses on their cups and wrappers as a reflection of their beliefs.
#3 - The "Secret Menu"
While In-N-Out Burger has always striven to "keep it simple", and their menu definitely attests to that fact, they realize that some people out there like a little mystery. They like secrets. Thus enter the "Secret Menu" at In-N-Out Burger. Its not any new food, just prepared in a different way. For example, the Neapolitan shake. Its not listed on the menu, but man it looks tasty!
Or there are the various diet options, such as the "Grilled Cheese" (no meat), the "Protein Style" (no bun, lettuce wrap), and the "Flying Dutchman" (just meat & cheese).
But by far, my favorite thing on the "Secret Menu" is the "Animal Style" option. You can order both your burger and your fries "Animal Style", and essentially it means they add grilled onions and extra secret sauce to your food. Once I tried it this way, I haven't been able to go back!
#2 - The PxC Ratio
The PxC Ratio is something I use to describe In-N-Out's "patty-by-cheese" ordering feature, where you can order any size burger simply by asking for a "3x3" (3 patties and 3 slices of cheese), or a "2x4" (2 pieces of meat, 4 pieces of cheese), etc. The ideal ratio of course is 1:1, but if you are looking for a really cheesy burger you can always alter the numbers. And there is no limit as to how high you can go. As you can see here with this gentleman who apparently has ordered a 20x20.
Or this group who ordered a 100x100.
