Maybe you heard about this April Fool's Day joke before now but I'm outta town and just catching up. The folks behind College Humor whipped up a few fake signs to spread the news that In-N-Out Burger was opening in Manhattan. It isn't. They posted the banners and had stooges in In-N-Out employee garb out to talk up the idea and raise the hopes of New Yorkers who lust for the product of the popular West Coast burger chain.
They can, by the way, have it. I am quoted on several websites as saying that In-N-Out served the best fast food burger in the field…and it's true that I did say that. But I said it many moons ago and no longer feel that way. I haven't much enjoyed the last few I've had and am trying to decide if they've changed or I have. (I'm leaning towards the answer, "Some of each.") Expect a longer blog post on the subject one of these days.
