DALY CITY, Calif. — Prior to this past weekend, neither Erica nor David were familiar with the “Luther Burger” (snopes), the gastronomical creation of a bacon cheeseburger with two Krispy Kreme donuts for a roll. The sandwich is said to have been created and enjoyed faithfully by the late Luther Vandross. Draw your own correlations between those sandwiches and Vandross’s untimely passing. Upon seeing the sign pictured above, both Erica and David exclaimed “Luther burger!”, as I had shared this information with them prior to our arrival at In-N-Out

We didn’t go for broke stroke and make our own Luther burgers when we stopped at the Daly City In-N-Out Burger on the way to SFO Sunday night. However, Erica and I did enjoy our first trip to California’s favorite fast food joint, as did David, who was already acquainted with In-N-Out.

I ordered a Double Double and fries. Due to my own preferences, I scraped off most of the sauce and skipped the tomato and lettuce, but in retrospect I should left the sauce on, it was tasty. The fries, which are fresh cut, were pretty good, though not on par with McDonald’s. The meat was superior though and even a little pink inside. We also found the employees to be very polite and efficient. In-N-Out was the polar opposite of White Castle (which we visited this past October). In fact, In-N-Out is probably the best fast food joint that I have visited.
