Title: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: johnl on February 05, 2010, 21:41:18 pm Last night on our local PBS station Hewell Howser did a one hour program on the history of In-n-Out Burgers. This was done at their headquarters which has never been available to the public before. It was very informative and I highly recommend watching it if you can. Be sure to check your local listings.
For you folks out of the area or don’t know what these places are all about you are missing some great food. If you are ever in SoCal, Arizona, Nevada or Utah be sure to look for a location. Here is a link on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5QG37Ekm9c While watching this I got to thinking about a place myself and others have written about on this forum. Steak ‘n Stein Inn opened in 1946, two years prior to In-n-Out and are also still there. Years ago, 1978 to be exact we were given a menu from the place mounted on wood as they all are and have displayed it in our home since then. I brought it in a copied it to share with you. Not the prices which were up there in 1978 seem really a bargain in today’s world. I’ve also included their web page so you can see what you get today. Bit of a difference. http://www.clearmansrestaurants.com/steaknstein/ Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: ESH on February 05, 2010, 22:19:09 pm If you could video it and stick it in the mail along with a burger that would be great! 8)

I'm a fan of In N Out, even though I'm on the east coast. In fact I'm way overdue for a fix! :-\ Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: kingsburgphil on February 06, 2010, 04:08:13 am Why do I have a sudden craving for a Double Double? ;D ;D

Won't be this year, but gonna try and make a trip next year hopefully. Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: Rennsurfer on February 06, 2010, 18:30:36 pm Yeah, Mike... get out here. I'll buy the real ice cream shake if Dave's covering the burger.
Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: Chris Andrews - The Mailman on February 06, 2010, 20:48:30 pm It looks like I am one of the minority about In N Out Burger. Personally, I dislike their food. I cannot stomach their greasy nasty burgers. Their 4 by 4 is a heart attack on a bun. My favorite burger joint was Flakey Jake's off of Katella & the 5 freeway. Poor (or cunning) management forced them to close their doors. As a distant alternative, when they have decent discounts, my wife & kids go to Fuddruckers www.fuddruckers.com (http://www.fuddruckers.com). I have posted this response to inform those who are not from the Southern California region, that there are indeed quality alternatives to In N Out Burger.
Bon Appétit The Mailman Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: Rennsurfer on February 06, 2010, 21:09:40 pm Fuddrucker's isn't bad. Too expensive, like you said.
Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: Dave Rosique on February 07, 2010, 13:56:27 pm I have friends who feel the same about IN N OUT... no biggie. I've eaten at Fuddruckers for years... love it. My Niece works at the one in Lakewood, dig their burgers-- always have. Another one of my favorites it Fatburger. It's a heart attack... I admit it. Personally, I never said IN N OUT was the best burger... but the company is known for high standards and morals, they don't franchise, they hire quality employees who they pay pretty decent for fast food, and I've never had bad food there. Plus, for me it's the good times I've associated with IN N OUT over the years... Besides, I make the best burger ;D Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: Chris Andrews - The Mailman on February 07, 2010, 19:27:53 pm [size=10

Just posted my observation (cough... opinion, and we know that Everyone has one). I acknowledge good times associated with events. Like tire smoke I associate with my brother Mike (my he rest in peace) and trips to OCIR in 1968/69 with him and my cousin Matt, to watch Mike's '68 Barracuda wax Matt's Ford Maverick. Dave, I agree that there is nothing like a home made burger. Good Times The Mailman Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: javabug on February 07, 2010, 20:40:46 pm ... but the company is known for high standards and morals, they don't franchise, they hire quality employees who they pay pretty decent for fast food In my opinion the difference this makes is notable, and is part of the reason I am a fan. About the closest thing to In N Out that we have out here is Five Guys, but they're spreading westward pretty quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if you see them in a couple years. Limited menu, and they're good at what they do. Something else I noticed the few times I was visiting SoCal, is the privateer burger joints that are still popular out there. Nicks, Imperial Burger, and tons of others I don't know. Places such as these are extremely rare out my way, and that's a bummer because I find them enjoyable. Supporting the small guy, great cruise-in location, usually better food than mega-chain places...just another thing you west coasters should not take for granted! ;) ;D Not a good idea to get me started on burger philosophy.

I tried them once and they were good, but about an hour later I wasn't feeling that great. I love Thousand Island Dressing and grilled onions, but it may be just a bit much for my old digestive system. Jeez, maybe I'll have to go there for dinner tonight as I'm drooling.

Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: John Rayburn on February 12, 2010, 17:53:44 pm You were thinking of a red early sixties convertible? VeryWise choice of tree placement... Correct on both accounts. The homeowner wanted palm trees in the foreground, so I gave them the most famous palm trees I could think of. Peter Falk has talked about Winters' antics on the set. He'd go off and act out little skits by himself all during production. One day, he said Winters was humping one of the palm trees and talking to it. He was saying, Oh baby, you're so beautiful, I just love what you've done with your hair.Obviously a subliminal messages :o Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: deano on February 12, 2010, 23:49:12 pm Some useless In & Out trivia.... When my family moved from Los Angeles to El Monte around 1953ish, my parents rented a house, (which was eventually knocked down when they built the 605 freeway), off Valley. Anyway, when we moved into this house, the landlord, a guy named "Harry" suggested to my dad that if we ever wanted a great hamburger, try In & Out. Of course, Harry was Harry Snyder and the rest is history. So, I can date myself having an In & Out way back to 1953-54. The Snyders were great people, and many years later, I met the two sons at Kawell's shop, who built their dune buggy engines...
P.S. I also really enjoyed the show on PBS with Hugh.... Title: Re: In-n-Out Burgers & Steak 'n Stein Inn Post by: . on February 13, 2010, 23:40:12 pm VeryWise choice of tree placement...

I had thought of going there with Christie yesterday, but figured it would be to busy and I really didn't have the $$ to spend. We did go to the Winter Nationals on Saturday and had a GREAT TIME. ;D ;D I had attended that event in 1964, 65 & 66 but hadn't been back. I'm sure I'll go next year.
