IN-N-OUT COMING TO NYC? WE HAVE OUR DOUBTS

For anyone living in Manhattan who's never had In-N-Out, we feel your pain, even if you don't know what you're missing. When we lived in San Diego, we ate In-N-Out at least twice a week, and we'd order the same thing every time: Double-Double, Animal Fries, and a chocolate shake. Pure bliss; the best "fast food" meal we have ever had. Really, these restaurants have reached cult-like status out west. And now rumor has it that In-N-Out may be planning a debut in New York. We have our doubts, though, mainly because of the sentiments this commenter raises:

I've often wondered about the myriad ways In-N-Out's employee template would fail in this area, and that's a big deal for anyone who's been to one out west. They're clean, organized, yet deliberate with each order. I'd say the over-under here would be about 2 hours before the Double-Doubles start getting served all lopsided and shit.

We tend to agree with this assessment. Employees at In-N-Out are actually friendly; they speak perfect English; they smile; they do not rush your order (and this is a good thing). In short, they are the kind of people you would never expect to find serving your food here in New York.
