Well well well....considering Im from California and have had my share of INO, moved to Texas and had Whataburger, moved to Kansas and had Culver's and 5 guys (and yes I even lived in NY but LONG before Shake Shack) I still enjoy a double double (minus those fries) at INO. I would venture to say that most people HYPE UP Shake Shack and 5 Guys as much as INO (ESPECIALLY ON THIS SITE!) but again everyone is entitled to their own personal favorite and honestly I prefer Bakers Burgers double over INO!!! Enough said!
I've only had patty melts with American Cheese automatically (unless they gave you an option on the top of cheese you preferred). Considering I dont care for swiss,..i'll consider myself lucky!
Strangely enough the first patty melt I can recall having was at a fast food location in So Cal (Der Wienerschnitzel in the late 70's). Albeit not a great representation of the classic patty melt, it has 2 softened slices of rye, 1 slice of american cheese with the patty. Be mindful that I was 8yrs old so....from that point forward I was hooked! lol My alltime favorite would be the patty melt from Jim's burgers in Rialto CA. A typical So Cal mom and pop type of burger joint, but they had the best (and buttery) patty melts in town! With or w/o onions it was DELICIOUS!!!!!! I will be in So Cal this summer and plan on making a stop there!
Being that I am a humble hamburger fan,....I wont proclaim myself as a critic,...only a patron...so...that being said: I like INO (yes Im originally from CA but grew to appreciate the hot off the grill taste), didn't like 5 Guys (always get the dog there, and that isn't saying much), never had SS (hadn't made it to Kansas yet) and prefer homemade sliders lol. There you go...simple, humble, and non-threatening.
How do I enter the contest? I love Entenmanns!!!
mouth is watering,....
and I was on a diet,...DAMNIT ED!!!!
that double is making my mouth water,....the bacon burger looked a tad bit dry...fries to die for! good article
Can we get one here in Kansas first? lol
HILARIOUS COMMENTS!!!
ahm......o.0

mouth,....is,....watering,..........NOW.........
who's Francis? lol it looks good,...im always down to try a greasy burger (grease and juice,...yummy!) reminds me a little of the cali style mom and pop burger joints.
INO has the best burger,...I dont care what Zagat has to say! lol
@bster18 baked potatoes on the grill
ahahahahahaha love it! I ate them while living in Japan in 1973 (damn am I dating myself) as a kid! Loved them!! Didn't see them again here in the states (by then I progressed to hostess cup cakes! lol)
now Im in the mood for pumpkin gooey cake! lol I luv Paula,...butter and all but I understand that everything is within limits. I also am I fan of Bourdain but if I had to choose in a death match,..I think PD has him beat,...BY A MILE! lol
@ratbuddy you damn right he is!! and he makes NO bones about it!!!
ahahahahahaahhahahaha I LOVE IT!!!
I for one would welcome a MILKBURGER here in Kansas City,...considering all of the talk that I've read on here about Shake Shack it would be refreshing to see something ELSE make its way here!
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I-N-O over all of the rest of those chains!!
I only experienced Culver's here in Kansas recently. And I found the burgers had a good deal of seasoning on them (especially in comparision to other fast food chains). The fries are always hot....overall I enjoy them. I can't take the custard shakes (WAYYYYYYYYY too much butter fat for me to consume, so dang rich), but I see the appeal.
OMG!!!!!! I am soooooooooo sorry for your loss!!!
I mean this is one of the last times you can "officially" grill/BBQ until the spring (unless you live in Cali or Florida) so I wanted to make a few meats and but wasn't sure if it was overkill to make Burgers, Ribs, Brisket, Brats, Hot Dogs, Links, Polish Sausage,...(you get the idea). So what are your thoughts?
Ok so I must admit I grew up in the very early 70's and had a "scooter pie" everyday as a treat!! And then I hear about "moon pies" and wasnt sure if it was the same treat I ate in my youth!?! Granted i've had some say that the scooter pie is a remake of the original moon pie but wanted to get your perspective. So what are you thoughts?
Let's begin a campaign to get him back posting here AGAIN!!! Who's with me?
So are you going to make everything from a box during the holidays because of convenience or from scratch?
Ok so we have about 2 weeks before the big day and I wanted to get some ideas of sides dishes outside of your normal dressing/mashed potatoes/green beans, etc.Even if the recipes are "tweaked" that would be good! Let me know what you think?
I wanted to make a batch of chicken and love it quite crispy. I've normally make mine by with seasoned flour and frying in shortening (makes it really crispy and juice too). I haven't tried using bread crumbs or dredging in egg before flouring, but wanted to get some ideas? Thanks in advance!

You know we must've been a part of the test market for these because I remember eating these pizzas a year ago. for what you get it wasn't bad,...although it wasn't great either! 8 smacks for alot of bread and sauce,...well thats the LC way...but I did prefer these over the regular hot and ready pizzas they had.
