I tried Kylie Jenner's go-to orders at In-N-Out and McDonald's, and I preferred the cheaper meal

Kylie Jenner has spoken about In-N-Out being one of her biggest cravings during her first pregnancy.

"When I was pregnant, I had to eat In-N-Out at least once a week, it was a problem," Jenner told Harper's Bazaar in 2020.

According to the interview, she orders a Double-Double with just special sauce and grilled onions, well-done fries, and a Coke.

When I ordered the meal in Austin, Texas, it came to $8.35, excluding tax.

She orders her burger either protein style, which means the burger comes between two lettuce buns, or regular. I opted to order the burger with regular buns.

Most Double-Double burgers come with two patties, lettuce, tomato, onions, and spread.

However, Jenner decides to remove the lettuce and tomato, and she requests grilled onions instead. On a second look, I realized that I might have received regular onions rather than grilled onions. However, I thought the burger was still delicious and flavorful.

The burger on its own cost $4.50.

The burger was definitely worth the price. For less than $5, I received a large, juicy, and cheese-coated burger that was packed with flavor.

One complaint I personally have with In-N-Out fries is that they're a touch bland and the texture is slightly odd. I was interested to see if getting the fries extra crispy would make me like them more.

The fries cost me $2, meaning there was no extra charge for asking them to stay in the fryer a little longer.

They were well-salted and the extra time in the fryer definitely gave them a better texture. Overall, I was impressed.

The drink wasn't too heavy and allowed the other items to shine through.

The burger was a good size, each bite was coated in cheese, and the onions added a ton of flavor I've rarely experienced with a fast-food burger. I also liked that Jenner orders her fries well done — they definitely tasted better this way.

When it comes to ordering at In-N-Out, the reality star certainly knows what she's doing. The meal was balanced, delicious, and surprisingly inexpensive for the filling, tasty meal that I got.

According to Postmates, a week before Jenner gave birth to her daughter Stormi on February 1, 2018, she ordered 10 chicken nuggets, an Oreo McFlurry, and fries.

When I bought it, the total for the order came to $13.57, making it almost double the price of the In-N-Out meal.

I asked for ranch and honey-mustard sauces.

However, I definitely preferred them with some sort of sauce. The creamy, tangy ranch clung perfectly to the nuggets, while the honey mustard added a nice hint of sweetness to the chicken.

The fries were crispy and what one can usually expect from McDonald's fries – salty and ready to be eaten by the handful.

I was torn over which fries I preferred. While the In-N-Out fries tasted more homemade, I thought the McDonald's fries had slightly more flavor.

It was creamy and light, almost like Cool Whip. The Oreo crumbles on the top added the perfect balance of texture. It felt like a true treat, as opposed to the Coke.

For the higher price, I didn't think the McDonald's meal beat out the In-N-Out meal in terms of value.

While I definitely enjoyed every element of the McDonald's meal, neither the chicken nuggets nor the fries blew me away like the cheesy and flavorful burger from In-N-Out did.

I thought the burger was large with a ton of flavor. I also thought the fries were crispy and a generous portion for just $2.

Overall, I thought the meal was well-balanced and tasty. For under $10, I simply couldn't ignore the value of the meal.
