In-N-Out
I've only been to California once, for a summer stay at Claremont, but I loved the experience. One thing I've never quite been able to explain to my fellow Texans is In-N-Out Burger, which is just a fabulous chain. The closest thing in Texas, rural Texas as least, is probably Dairy Queen, which is a full step above the franchised Dairy Queens across the rest of the country (the Texas franchises apparently even report to a Texas headquarters, not the national HQ). Anyway, Ken Layne describes the magic of In-N-Out Burger. I'm hungry!
