re: Is In & Out Burger worth it?

I had my first real Whataburger experience out in Texas last month. It was good, for a fast food type burger it was actually great. Not life changing or anything, but really good and they used good ingredients (onion and tomatoes were actually fresh and not all floppy, beef seemed to be real and not pink slime stuff you get at the big chains). That said, when I'm in Vegas this summer, I plan on hitting up an In-and-Out. If you ever find yourselves in the Carolina's or parts of Georgia, hit up Cookout. The smaller chains that seem to have cult followings are that way for a reason; they normally use quality ingredients and make affordable food. They'll never be the best burgers you'll have, but it's always fun to say you've been.
