Man, I don't know. Is an IN AND OUT burger that much better than a double Whataburger loaded up all the way? That double beef patty whataburger is a baaaad baaaaad burger man.

In N Out is good, but I don't know that they really deserve the cult following that they have, to be honest. Whataburger is something more local to you Texas weirdos more than anything else. Five guys is great... I've only had them a few times for whatever reason, but each time my mouth has been very happy. Being from Wisconsin, I also have to plug Culvers. Sweet, greasy burgers...
And just to put this out there for something totally different, I feel like I have to say *something* about White Castle. Terrible, terrible sliders that I have to get when I go home to MSP. Especially with certain... legalizations... in Colorado, I'm amazed they don't have any around here. You could make a killing opening one up on Colfax! If I were a businessman, I would absolutely do that. If you want to be really crazy, go during breakfast hours (they start at midnight, too). A slider with an egg on it. Trust me, they use actual egg and it's pretty darned tasty.
ButterBurgers. Sliders, Double-Double….I’m going to lunch….. at IN-N-OUT :cool:
You're just jealous that you don't have easy access to the other two options!
I like that. Texas wierdos. I'm a transplant here in Texas, like probably 75 percent in the IAH area alone. Maybe that's what makes up the wierdo part eh?
In N Out rules!!
/TheEnd
Have an upcoming trip to Dallas. Looking forward to some In-n-out as well as bbq! Nice to know I don't have to go all the way to Cali for my fixin!

I always keep my fingers crossed that my flight arrives or departs somewhere close to D27 :cool: to get my Cousin's fixin. Been to Dickey's a few years ago. Might try to hit up one of the places listed here The Best Barbecue in Dallas although the article is from 2010. Will report back.Quote:

Cousin’s and Pappadeaux’s do make getting bumped at DFW a little easier.Quote:

Palms have you ever heard of a place called Virgie’s? They tell me they serve a pilgrimage worthy brisket.Quote:

You can’t buy happiness
But..
You can BBQ
And that’s the same thing.:cool:
Never heard of Virgies. I'm sure in the end, brisket is pretty much brisket. I'm not particular between all the bbcue joints around here. They even have a salad with whatever cut of meat you want with it. Dam its good. Maybe I'll hit them before I go to work tonight.
Obviously Palms you’ve never had an over smoked, tough, dry, bland brisket.Quote:

You know that phrase--“You need no teeth to eat our beef”, trust me, sometimes you do.:o
Well, if we're talking about barbecue now... I have had Dickey's a couple times before. Not bad, really. Especially for the price and everything else. Somehow they have one in EAU of all places, too!
Personally, I'm planning on making my own BBQ this summer. New house bought in December, new deck coming, and of course that commands a new grill. I've had my eye on this baby: Char-Broil Triple Function Propane Gas/Charcoal Grill with Side Burner-463724512 at The Home Depot - I'll admit that I do tend to use gas for standard grilling (brats, burgers, what have you) but I'm dying for that charcoal half. You see, when I was in college, I got into smoking different types of meats - chicken, salmon, and pork especially. And if I do say so myself, I was good at it! But moving from one house to another in college and eventually going to an apartment with no porch/balcony, there was no reasonable way to use my beloved smoker. And I'm terrified to move it from my parents' house in MSP, since it makes anything smell like barbecue for a LONG time (which isn't a terrible thing in some cases, but some things just aren't supposed to have that smell, like a car). That said, I bet I could make an excellent smoker out of that grill. Yesterday I had some smoked salmon in a salad from Ikea, and it was surprisingly good! It really reminded me that smoke makes food taste delicious, and that I need to resume this artform.
When's the party? :DQuote:

I just aint got time to bbcue like you do my friend. Just where do you find the time? I see, overtime is not mandatory, but here is where I do the things I'm best at....(Fixing airplanes) and I will farm out the smoking of meats and briskets, salads, cheeses, or whatever to the professionals down the street. They hold the competative advantage as I allow them to do what they do all day long every day smoking meats while I work the planes. With that money, I buy it from them, whom does it better than I can.
