After killing our feet trying to locate the closest In And Out Burger establishment (fella @ the Puma store told us it was a 10 minute walk.. 40 mins later in the blistering sun and we still couldn’t get a sniff of the deep fryer) we decided to ask a cafe owner to call us a taxi (wasn’t trying to pay expensive roaming charges on this mobile phone). I kid-you-not, he gave a quizzical look as if he was searching his database using one of those tape driven computers to try and figure out what we just asked. Another 20+ minutes and a cab finally arrived. Thankfully we were treated to chilled herbal and fruity water at the cafe (real cool hippie-like cats) Turns out Mr Taxi Driver had no clue what In And Out Burger was, nor did his vehicle have a GPS.

As the meter ran up, we were playing hide and seek the burger joint, with the little directions we got while walking an hour back.  Turns out, you CAN’T miss an In And Out Burger joint. The lines for the drive through were massive and caused a mini traffic jam at the entry and exit points. Same can be said about the lines when you go into the actual store to order. In And Out Burger. 7009 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028 Normal Hours of Operation Sunday – Thursday 10:30 a.m. – 1:00 a.m. Friday – Saturday 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 a.m. Some quick notes for out In And Out Burger Experience! This may well be the one and only time for me LONG lines to order Lines move relatively fast Dirty and crowded dining area Dirty condiments and drinks area Super friendly and helpful staff – smiles! They look sharp in their lil uniforms Luv the fact you can see your food being cooked, especially seeing the potatoes pressed into fresh-cut fries

They look like a colony of Army Ants Fries under cooked and a total waste of being ‘fresh-cut” Told their marketing appeal is the fact that the beef/meat is never frozen. It still had no ‘taste’ and they were your typical greasy burger. I would struggle to tell this ‘fresh’ burger from a frozen one from the McDonald’s up the street Onions, tomato and lettuce was decent Though the fries were a let-down, the burgers were quite filling (mom told me to NEVER waste food) so it wasn’t about satisfaction or pleasure I wonder if this is why the taxi driver didn’t know what/where In And Out Burger was.. Mr probably gets his burger fix at the Carneys further up on Sunset. We came, we tried and we regretted (don’t take a 5 hr flight after). As was the case when I trusted Social Media with it’s recommendation (hype) of Chipotle, In And Out Burger is basic and doesn’t deserve the hype! your ketchup had a sour (tart) undertone!

Spring 2016 NYC Restaurant Preview With splashy openings like La Sirena and Pasquale Jones, New York’s winter restaurant season was a lot more fruitful than most.  But there are even more debuts to look forward to this spring, such as a New Nordic eatery in Grand Central Station, from Noma co-founder, Claus Meyer, an out-of-Philly establishment from celeb chef, Jose Garces, and of course, the anticipated return of Union Square Café, the crown jewel of Danny Meyer’s acclaimed hospitality group!ichiban sushi online menu Pondicheri (15 W. 27th Street): It’s looking like this will be an especially good year for Indian food.  sushi las condes santiagoFollowing on the heels of the recently opened Indian Accent (on offshoot of New Delhi’s most venerated restaurant) comes Pondicheri, from Texas-based chef & owner, Anita Jaisinghani.  sushi delivery calgary downtown

Sushi Ginza Onodera (461 5th Avenue): Does New York need more sushi? Master chef Akifumi Sakagami certainly seems to think so, which is why he’s bringing his international mini-chain (with locations in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris and Hawaii) to Midtown East this April. Italienne (19 W. 24th Street): While he was originally slated to helm Manhattan’s still-in-the-works sister act to Brooklyn Fare, Jared Sippel (formerly of Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder and San Francisco’s Quince) has moved on to this Northern Italian/South of France concept instead, including an adjunct wine bar, and featuring a four-course tasting menu format. TurnStyle (59th Street and Columbus Circle): In an ongoing effort to turn all of NYC’s transportation hubs into culinary hotbeds, the Columbus Circle concourse should be getting its turn by the end of April, as part of a 15,000-square foot subterranean marketplace, including Dylan’s Candy Bar, Bosie Tea, Yong Kang Street sushi, MeltKraft, Ellary’s Greens, Ignazio’s pizza, Gastronomie 491 and more.
