Food Porn: 100x100

What Up Willy!'s 100x100

A while back I mentioned the fact that In-N-Out burger will let you add patties and cheese to their standard Double-Double Burger, along with a mouthwatering photo of a 20x20 burger, which is probably the maximum amount that a single person could consume. Assuming, of course, that the person consuming the burger is a very, very hungry linebacker. If you have a few friends around, though, you might want to increase your order to an astounding 100x100. For only $97.66 (burger sold in Las Vegas), you and seven friends can gorge yourselves on meat and cheese. What up Willy! documented the making and consumption of this amazing burger. I don't think I could do it, but these guys have my deepest respect. And a few of my antacids.

Food Porn: 20x20

20x20 burger

If you have heard of In-N-Out Burger, you probably know that the Double-Double is their most famous sandwich. Its name derives from the fact that is has two patties and two slices of cheese. What you may not know is that you can order any size burger you like, from a 3x3 - three patties, three slices of cheese - on up. I personally witnessed someone attempting to eat a 6x6, but am forced to qualify the event as an "attempt" because the whole burger wasn't consumed in one sitting. Let's just say it wasn't a plesant viewing experience. The above picture is a 20x20 burger. la.foodblogging caught a rare sighting on camera: the 75x75, made just for you and 60 or so of your closest friends. In-N-Out charges for the extra patties and cheese, but I bet that if you get a burger that big and ask very nicely, they'll throw in a free order of fries. The employees will not be doing it because they expect you to eat them - just for the irony.

D is for Double Double and the Top 20 Burgers?

This is the best fast-food hamburger there is: a double-double from In-N-Out Burger, the popular California chain. Actually, with its two juicy, 100% pure beef patties, hand-leafed lettuce, tomatoes, secret spread and two slices of American cheese (not processed cheese) on a freshly baked and toasted bun, the double-double is better than a lot of non-fast food burgers, too.

I suggest that you compare the In-N-Out classic to GQ's list of the 20 hamburgers you must eat before you die. The list was compiled by Alan Richman, food critic and author of Fork it Over, who seems to be a reputable enough source, though I am still hard-put to take culinary advice from a men's style magazine. I have personally eaten at three of the 20 places on the list, though I can only say that I clearly recall two of them, and did not find the burgers to be of any higher quality than the double-double. I think GQ needs to add another spot to their list.

Tip of the Day

Your recipe calls for butter or another fat. Depending on the quantity called for, there are different times you should add it.
