In-N-Out – While competing fast food places have vast departments churning out new variations on burgers and sandwiches, In & Out keeps it simple – they know what their customers want and see no reason to change things. You could write the whole menu on your thumb – burgers, fries, and shakes, over and out. There is also the secret menu – probably the worst kept secret in corporate history at this point, but still unpublished. The only decisions are whether to have onions and cheese, mustard or sauce, and eating inside or risking getting grease on your steering wheel.
