In-n-out Burger

[jknnej]

In N Out Burger offers protein style burgers (wrapped in lettuce as a bun) AND I've spoken with my students who work there: if they even accidentally put bread on your burger they make your entire burger over for you without you having to say a word. They are super careful.

I had a shake there yesterday and it was great..

Aren't shakes usually OK as long as it's not a malt?

mmmm they have a neopolitan shake there (choc/straw/van mixed) it is out of this freakin' world!

My prob with In & Out is that they toast the buns on the grill next to the burgers. I went there ( not the one by me) totally excited to have a protein style burger and left because you can see everything where they are cooking and the grill was covered in buns. Its always so busy that I didn't feel like asking them to clean a part of the grill to cook my burger.

What is your experience with that aspect, because there is one walking distance to my house and it is sooooo yummy I would love to eat there.

My dad does some electrical work for In-N-Out, and he asked a guy if they can be absolutely sure that is gluten-free. He said to ask for the manager of the store, then ask him for a Gluten-Free Burger. He/she should know what that is. They will cook it on a totally separate, clean grill and someone with clean hands will make the protein-style burger! I haven't had ANY problems with In-in-Out since then!

Hope I could help!!!

Man that will make me so happy if I can work that out. Their food is soooo good, and I know their fries are ok, its just potatoes, and they don't do other fried food.

Yeah their shakes are awesome too. If I hadn't just had dinner, I'd be there right now.

Yummmmy.

Does anyone know if In N Out thousand island dressing is gluten free? I bought a burger there tonight and couldn't eat it because it had dressing on it.

I had already left the store and wasn't able to go back so I had to scrap the entire burger.

If anyone knows this, please let me know asap! I want to have In n Out again!!!

The Thousand Island Dressing is NOT gluten-free!! Well, at least they don't put it on it if you ask for a gluten-free burger... so it is safe to assume that it is NOT gluten-free.

I was still having problems with protein style burgers there but then found out I am sensitive to citric acid and the wash they use on the lettuce must contain it because I now order it "Flying Dutchman" with onion (Flying Dutchman is two patties with cheese between, that's it) and I haven't had a problem. I haven't asked about the lettuce wash there but just avoid it now. Since we usually get it to go and come back to work, I will toast some gluten-free bread (yep, in my own toaster at my desk - don't think I'm not the talk of the office!) and eat it just like everyone else. Mmmmmm!

I never liked their fries, honestly, which is good because I can't eat potatoes now (nightshade) and I don't eat refined sugar so I have never had the shakes. But they sound great!

Hi Stephanie...sorry to appear ignorant but would you explain to a newbie what your quote means? I wouldn't bother you but it's just got me soooooooo curious.....thanks so much!!

Potatoes are part of the nightshade family, along with tomatoes and, I think, peppers, but I'm not sure about that one. Sometimes, if you're sensitive to one type of plant, you'll be sensitive to the whole family of plants. Nightshade's a tough one to work with, because those items are also pretty common (particularly that potato!).

(Ironically, tomatoes, as a part of the nightshade family to which the deadly belladona herb belongs, were also thought to be very poisonous because they were in the same family. So, for a long time, many parts of the world didn't eat them!)

Thanks tarnalbarry...I appreciate your reply.

My heart goes out to those who can't eat them...just makes life that much trickier....

thanks again!

I was reading the new SillyYaks Restaurant list and the dressing is gluten-free but there is a risk of cross contamination because they use a knife to spread it on the buns.

So protien style no dressing. Yummy.

My hubby just went to In N Out to get us lunch. No dressing this time! That's OK cus' I don't like dressing on burgers, anyway. I told him to ask for it gluten-free and to ask for it plain. I'll put my own ketchup/etc. on it at home.

Can't wait!

Thanks for the tip about the dressing. I figured it was not gluten-free! Glad I played it safe and didn't eat it!
