Tag: Food Around the World

Being tag by two persons, Vien and LZMommy. I would do Vietnamese Pho because Hubby and I really love the noodle soup. But since Vien already did that, I better think of another, more unique food that you can only find here in Los Angeles or rather this part of the world.

What would it be?! Those of you who likes western food ... this post if for you. If you happen to be this part of the world, you MUST try In-N-Out Burger. It is the MOST delicious and simple hamburger I've ever eaten. Ask Rambling Moo, she knows.

A bit of history:
Founded by Harry and Esther Snyder back in 1948 in the city of Baldwin Park, CA as the first drive-thru fast food restaurant in California. Their business philosophy - "Give customers the freshest, highest quality foods you can buy and provide them with friendly service in a sparkling clean environment." The business is privately owned and not franchise like many other fast food restaurants.

Menu:
Their menu is very simple. REALLY REALLY simple. Order the type of hamburger you want (hamburger, chesseburger or double-double), french fries and drinks/milk shakes (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry). That's all. The price is very reasonable, IE CHEAP. For both of us, we can have a good meal at In-N-Out for less than $10. No tips.

Their ingredient:
Freshness it the philosophy. They use 100% pure beef (only the chucks-the front ribs and shoulder), free of additives, filler or preservative of any kind. Lettuce is hand-leafed. They use only the juiciest fresh tomatoes and REAL American cheese. Potatoes are hand-diced at the site. All ingredients are delivered fresh in refrigerated truck to the stores. There is no freezer,microwave or heatlamp in the kitchen. Their milk shakes are made from REAL ice-cream.

Layout:
The restaurant also have dine-in area but most people would just drive-thru. You placed the order in the two way speaker, and sometimes with a person with a wireless tablet PC whom will be walking along the que (mind you, during lunch/dinner time, the drive-thru line is pretty long) to take the order from each driver.

Along the drive:
First you will make payment for your food (they also accept Mastercard/Visa).
Next you will come to a series of windows that you see through into their opened kitchen concept and probably be able to observe a helper washing/cleaning and hand-dicing fresh potatoes (NOT frozen) and deep fried them in the 100% cholesterol free vegetable oil.
Lastly, pick up your order (see picture below).

Look at the french fries - so crispy. And the hamburgers - so yummy.

Now is your chance to let us know what is good in your part of the world:

Huisia (sorry, i wasn't paying much attention, but just saw LZmommy's post tagging her too, so I guess she did once already), Lil'devil, Sweetpea, Montessorimum and BinkyBlogging
