My two roommates have enthusiastically taken up the challenge of introducing me to Claremont and initiating me into SoCal life at large, efforts for which I am enormously grateful and have enjoyed at every turn. Today's assignment: conquer Animal Style #2 at In-n-Out Burger. What's "animal style"? I still don't know, but whatever it is tastes delicious and makes for a great lunchtime treat.
From my inaugural In-n-Out experience, I gathered that this esteemed burger joint is a crowd pleaser for all walks of life. The cramped inside ordering space was congested with a motley crew of Californians-- an elderly woman, an overworked construction worker (with mullet), giggly teenage girls, strapping firefighters, a hungover He-Man sort of fellow searching for whatever elixir of life could stop the room from spinning, and yours truly, an East Coast transplant. I intended to take a picture of the burger and french fry ensemble before digging in, but I was distracted and seduced by the scent and sight of the greasy burger overloaded with lettuce, sauce, onions, et cetera. To be sure, In-n-Out Burger and I will rendez-vous again.
