My understanding is that In-N-Out is working on a sriracha burger, and
they plan to support the factory in Irwindale to the fullest extent
possible. There has also been some info that Twinkies might be involved.
Stay tuned, this is BIG NEWS!

Zagat names In-N-Out Double-Double best burger in L.A. Do you agree?

In yet another best-of list you'll want to read, Zagat named the
Double-Double the best burger in the city. Yes, that's over the coveted
Father's Office burger, the ketchup-leather-topped burger at Plan Check,
the Five Guys Burger with its cult following and the Habit burger,
recently named the best burger in America by Consumer Reports.

That's according to the opinion of the 3,466 people who participated in
Zagat's burger survey. They were asked to rate and review burgers in 16
major cities. The burgers were rated on a 30-point scale based on
flavor, ingredients and value.

The In-N-Out Double-Double had the highest score in Los Angeles with 23
points out of 30. Is it just me, or is that number a little low? Other
burgers in other cities received scores of 24 to 28 points.

In New York, the Luger Burger from Peter Luger came out on top, the
Lockdown Warden burger at Lockdown Bar & Grill took top honors in
Chicago, the Snack Shack Burger from Carnitas' Snack Shack was named
best burger in San Diego, and Nopa's grass-fed hamburger was rated the
best in San Francisco. For a list of all the best-rated burgers, visit

Survey participants were also asked about their favorite burger
toppings. A fried egg was the burger topper of choice for 64% of
participants, and when it came to buns, 64% said they preferred a
pretzel bun, 30% went for a ramen noodle bun and 23% were willing to eat
their burger on a doughnut.

Participants in the survey also reported eating burgers an average of
4.6 times a month. Of those surveyed, 44% said they would spend more
than $25 on a "mind-blowing" burger and 72% said they would be willing
to spend between $10 to $20 on a burger.


As far as where to get your fix, 33% said they head to specialty burger
joints while 24% said general restaurants, 9% said fast food spots and
4% said diners.
