It seems there is no other way to characterize my lunchtime adventure today other than a false alarm. No real talk of the coming revolution in the gastronomic art known as burger making, not in Georgia anyway.
Since checking the official In-N-Out Burger website, it appears that the closest location is in central Texas. Perhaps misadventure is a better word to use? It seems the only "mythology" today was the place I went to eat for lunch. I'm all about supporting local businesses, especially eateries. At the same time, it seems they might be setting themselves up for failure here.
Secondly, I have to apologize if you ran to the location after reading, on Facebook, that there existed a place sharing the real restaurant's namesake......or if you incurred any psychological whiplash, much like I did, today.
My roommate even told me he didn't think it was the same thing. Convinced to prove him wrong and that he was just giving me a hard time like he tends to do, he's had a good laugh. At least I got to poke fun at Anthony Bourdain today and hear a friend say he laughed out loud about it.
When, in fact, beyond a reasonable doubt, no other truth can exist insofar as the REAL In-N-Out Burger making it's way to Atlanta is concerned, I will certainly let you know.
Maybe I should contact the In-N-Out corporate office and they can fly me to Cali for free?
Happy lunch hour tomorrow. More new places and dishes, at home and away, to come.
Cheers,
Richie
saw your post below... how're they going to use such a close name?! They can't seriously think that was a good idea... :O
ReplyDeleteI actually drove by today and they have since taken down the In-n-out part of their sign. I imagine they either got in trouble or got chewed out a few times by people like me haha.
