I eat lousy food sometimes because of convenience or time constraints, (had Taco Bell yesterday), but I sure as heck don’t think that it’s good. And In-and-Out is only good compared to other fast food, (an extremely low bar), it’s fresher and less processed than other fast food. A burger from McDonald’s has so much salt that you could store nuclear waste inside of it. If someone thinks that some chain restaurant has good food, I feel for them, regardless of where they live.

I don’t think most of us took it that way, many of us have different experiences, some have a more refined palette, others think that a Big Mac or a Whopper is great. I remember going to lunch with some friends in Charleston, he owns a very high end shop, they have cars competing on the national level, his sons were young,at that point. We were going to lunch and one of the sons wanted to go to one of those really cheap, nasty, all you can eat pizza places. One that rolls out cardboard, pours tomato paste and cheese and $1.99 all you can eat. Me,I’m a pizza snob, (although I will admit that I have a soft spot for the brand that kept me fed in college) and still go to the same restaurant that I used to go to since 1977) I asked him “why”?, he said it was cheap.
Of course both of his sons are very successful, being professional drivers, and will take their Fathers business well into the future. One of them, besides making a name for himself as a professional racer, is a very competitive shooter as well. I look at his competition gun, and look at mine, that a lifelong friend won a couple of National Championships with (custom Kimber from the Compition shop, when Kimber was new) and there is no comparison . Hey Speeder, let’s go grab a bag of Krystal burgers, lol.
