- In-N-Out is one of California's most beloved fast-food chains. Sadly, I don't live in California.
- In order to rectify this gap in our fast-food coverage, I hopped on a plane to Los Angeles and immediately bee-lined for In-N-Out.
- For my first In-N-Out meal in years, I had a Double-Double burger and fries, both Animal Style, and a cup of lemonade.
- The Double-Double was even better than I remembered, while the fries were a big disappointment.

It's been a hot second since my last meal at an In-N-Out.
The last time I visited one was several years ago on a road trip with some high school friends. After so long, I'd all but forgotten the taste of a Double-Double and was in dire need of a refresher.
It was clear where I had to begin my eat-through of the glitzy main streets of Los Angeles. After a long six hours on a plane seat, I was ready to put the "animal" in Animal Style.
